ALO are just flucking delightful. Pretty damn charming, too. Watch their new video and you’ll see what we mean. Try not to have fun grooving to this. Try to resist wanting your own fez. Try to deny the power of their music to illuminate one from within. Go ahead. You’ll fail but we respect your right to do so. And Cali folks are once again blessed with the love-infused Tour D’Amour starting January 28 in Arcata and hitting the Fillmore in SF (1/29), Santa Barbara (2/13), Santa Cruz (2/17) and more. Nathan Moore, another Impound pal, will open most of the tour, and the great Sean Hayes warms up the Fillmore crowd. Full tour dates here. The Impound may be blessed with more tour missives from the lads, too, if they can spare the love…

This is the Impound’s all-time favorite morning-after-binge-drinking song. Seemed an appropriate day to bust it out. Leave it to Christy Moore to be the guy who works surfing into a drinking song. And what an irresponsible pub to allow a single fellow to drink 14 pints so close to the water. Oodles more videos about drunkenness here. Now, let’s say “goodbye to the Port and Brandy, to the Vodka and the Stag, to the Schmiddick and the Harpic, the bottled draught and keg.”
