"Wet Gold" Video

Growing up we got use to seeing things talking that shouldn't be: a dune buggy, a scared dog with a big appetite and of course, Heathcliff.

Austin's Octopus Project unleash the next great thing in talking: an inflatable row boat!

I Didn't Know You Like To Get Wet

A couple of weeks ago I wrote about Austin band Octopus Project for Best of Texas blog The Squawker. Basically, they are an instrumental band like compatriates Explosions In The Sky... but, sometimes they just wanna sing. And when they do, it turns out pretty sweetly and twee-ey.
