Takka Takka - Talk Faster
Free music is the best music, no? Takka Takka show the love on V Day with an EP of new tunes, and all you have to do is download. It's called Talk Faster, though we're just gonna call it Takka Faster for kicks. Grab "Draw A Map," which may be their best yet -- but we're suckers for background vocals.
Takka Takka - "Draw A Map" (MP3)
Head here for the rest of the Talk Faster EP and cover art. The Takkas have some UK shows lined up with My Brightest Diamond and the motorik-loving Band To Watch 120 Days in February, but if that's too far for you, there's always SXSW.

terribly boring band that only gets noticed due to knowing clap your hands say yeah and being in nyc. without these two things no one would have to be burdened by their existence.

more useful negative postings:
guy with moustache, wtf?
yet another band with a repeating name, how 'bout just takka, too boring?
somebody shops at urbn for their scarves?
when will stereogum stop trying to "discover" new bands and start telling us about shit that matters?
moreover, is it possible to start "discovering" something that doesn't live in the same borough as you. isn't some kid in jersey making interesting music?
yeah, I didn't think so either.

The only time a moustache ever looked good on a musician was Greg Norton of Husker Du, and that was because it made him look like Rollie Fingers or Harry Reems.

I'm with you, by the way man - they're a great (if inoffensive) band. Have you heard any of the guys' side projects? They're all pretty impressive, too (Nuh Uh, especially)

are they waiting to get into TRL?
Score = 0
if they are, they'd better hurry!
here's my question.. whenever i see these dudes live (which ive never done intentionally, but i still have managed to see them at least 3 times) my eyes are always drawn to the bass player.. who i've dubbed "fat john kerry"
WHERE IS FAT JOHN KERRY IN THIS PICTURE?
oh, it seems they kicked him out of the band.. now i feel bad for fat john kerry.
