Yeah, I listed to Polar on MySpace the other day when I was putting up Hilarie's interview, and I wasn't sure how long that song had been up there, so I didn't know if it was "news," but man it's really really good.

i agree. the song is super fun.
the coolest thing about it is that jim lindsey plays the drums and the keyboard part at the same freaking time! i think he's a robot.

the song has been around for a little while; it was on lexington's know your own #2 comp.

Actually, at least in the online version of Know Your Own #2, the HWM song is "Dutch Tape." And it's good too!

[samanthafayIFD]

oh yeah, you're totally right.
the songs were being passed around to friends of the band at the same time and i completely forgot about "dutch tape".

yeah, "Polar" has been up for some time.

But it is incredible.
