Doug Sundseth sends his entry into the house band contest (Co-ResurrectionSong House Band, in fact): Alice König’s newest release, ...But Hard to Swallow. Thoughtless frat boys have made the album the year’s big party disk, mistaking the lesbian folk/pop for a sly comment about heterosexual oral sex. Unsurprisingly, a record number of returns have been reported by Amazon and other online vendors.

Doug can expand upon that later.

But at ResurrectionSong, we love lesbians. Which is nice for everyone and explains why we’ve invited Alice König to be the opening band for Pormestarin tytär.

Other house bands competing in the contest:

Absentee Colorado blogger Dorkafork gives us Fan Palm with Fly to Catch a Trout. There’s only a little cheating going on.

Andy’s brilliant African American National Biography Project with Sucked into Jet Engines. Wonderful.

Bob, who regularly comments here, gives us The Oval with Boils in Another’s Pot. Which might actually be my favorite cover. Except my own, of course.

Blogonomicon’s band Battle of Dalrigh with Again be the Same. Nicely done.

Fighting for Liberty’s band Unbundled Network with They Hurry Past It. That’s a great photo.

Jed, who really wants to win, gives us two bands: 76 with It Used to Be and Robin Byrd with That is Never Satisfied.

And, getting back to the previously posted Nathan’s entry, Hoplite and their new album ...Of Looking at Things. Somehow appropriate to the gentleman.

Go back through the last couple posts to see the ones you might have mixed. Frankly, my fingers are tired.

Nice work, everyone. I’m impressed with the creativity on display--and maybe even more impressed by the quality of some of those Flickr photos that we came up with. And everyone remember to thank Shannon for infecting us with this meme. Thanks, Shannon!
