All your misdeeds of those pesky 2000s are in the past, written down somewhere on wikipedia, twitter, or livejournal. All of your bright and shining new ideas, accomplishments, songs, watercolor portraits, lego constructions, hoover dams, and electric car-charging stations are ahead of you! They’re waiting for you, calling to you with a sweet come-hither voice.
We’ve been hearing the voice, and are heeding its call.
We’re pleased to announce the new Hey Marseilles online store. Its how we’ll buy burritos. Its how we’ll make our 2010 dreams come true. Give it a click or two, check out the new brown and creme Unisex Tees! Our lovely friend Kate helped take the photos, and along with her two lovely sisters, three curious cats (on catnip), and one beautiful dog, we got some real winning shots.

Last month, dear readers, we announced our contribution to a Starbucks compilation of classic love songs covered by contemporary acts. Today we’re pleased to announce that the “Sweethearts Vol II” compilation will hit iTunes Jan 19th, followed by Starbucks locations on Jan 26th. Thought my true brew loyalty will continue to rest in the sweet warm solace of coffee from Caffe Umbria, Stumptown, and the mighty Caffe Vita, this compilation is looking to be nicely stacked. Other contributing artists will include Mates of State, Yo La Tengo, Jose Gonzalez, and The Long Winters (http://bit.ly/820GjH). Our song will be a cover of Daniel Johnston’s “True Love Will Find You In the End.” We like it.
Finally, we’re playing some really cool shows this month.
