'Who's this? This shit is good!' - IGGY POP

Who has the strongest potential to follow in Death Cab for Cutie's footsteps as Seattle's top dog? The Blakes, a riveting threesome that left a sold-out Chop Suey audience drenched and thirsty for more back in January. Having recently toured with The Brian Jonestown Massacre and set to embark on another round of concert dates in Europe (they're huge all over France), The Blakes are destined for brighter days and larger stages. They move from the Backyard Stage at last year's festival to the heavily crammed Exhibition Hall Stage this time around, where a long line is expected to get in on Sunday afternoon. They really should be opening for Stone Temple Pilots, but I'm not complaining about catching them in a more intimate, indoor setting. Listen for "Two Times," "Vampire," "Don't Bother Me," "Pistol Grip," "Modern Man," and "Magoo." Seattle Gay News bonus: Interviewed with us in March 2008.

can anyone pleeeeeease tell me how you (the blakes)) will get the biggest bang for my buck?

I read somewhere you have 5 available releases.
I already own "Streets" and "The Blakes" (although I loaned them out, and will probably want to buy another set) and have surmised you have a total of 3 songs on itunes that I do not yet own (Basket, Fall, Horse).

I also heard a rumor you are releasing a new CD in (FEB '09 - pretty damn reliable source, I hope) and I will need that too.

Seeing how I am your self-proclaimed-number-one-fan, you may not believe it, but I don't have a lot of time/desire to do my own research (beyond what I have already explored) and just want to turn my hard earned cash into amazing music from The Blakes.

Can you help this lost fan? pretty, pretty please with a... a... a fishing pole on top?
