Justin from Aquarium Drunkard hit me up yesterday to tell me about The World Record. Shortly thereafter, he let the whole world know. Well I’m as impressed as I’m sure you all are; these guys are fantastic.

MP3: The World Record – We’re #1
Well, Justin went ahead and threw out the Big Star comparison, so I’ll feel only slightly guilty for stealing that one. The World Record write some fantastic power pop, including “We’re #1.” In fact, I wonder if that might be a #1 Record reference (doubt it, but it’s a nice thought). It’s also got a little bit of Beulah running through it — most especially coming out in that nice trumpet part and the whole of the outro.
