Long Days of Summer

So, I'm buzzing through Wired.com and trip over an alternate article about a chap named Michael Hearst, and his band called One Ring Zero.

Synopsis - he lives in Brooklyn, small apartment. A couple years ago he hears the sounds of summer emanating from the busy streets (read - jingle of Ice Cream Trucks). The same song over and over. So, he does a Google search and finds there aren't too many alternate songs out there for ice cream trucks to play. So, he and his band-mates decide to change things. Thereafter they begin recording, in his small Brooklyn apt., the album below.

Its an interesting interview to read through, and an even more interesting (you may wish to imbibe first) web-site to partake in and listen to the bands various creations. Ice Cream men (masc.) around the world are, I'm sure, rejoicing because they now have a selection of tunes to get the youngsters gastronomic juices flowing in all sorts of creative ways.
