The Tourettes Cut A Record: Life is Pretty!

Here's what some guy* at the New Haven Advocate has to say about the Tourettes' freshman effort, "Life is Pretty": like "tooth-cracking sweet bubble gum" the band's "well-constructed, lo-fi, smirking, garagey" sound features "more tongue-in-cheek humor than your first Frenching session." Ever wanted to have a Frenching session with a "slumber party made up of a 7th grade girls' gym class"? Put on those tube socks, honey, send us $10, and get ready to sweat! Send your cash or check (made out to Alejandra O'Leary), plus a fake name and a real address, to:
The Tourettes
P.O. Box 200727
New Haven, CT 06520-0727

& you'll get 13 tracks of kissable, snugglable, musical kickball. Or something.


*PS: This guy also thinks Caolan sounds like the girl from the Baby Got Back video. What do you think? E-mail Caolan at caolan.madden@aya.yale.edu! You can also ask her any pertinent questions you got about the album. But don't ask her to be on your sleepover softball team, because she throws like a sleeping girl. For real!
