"Mews Too: An Asthmatic Kitty Compilation"

“But Mews Too most perfect moment comes from new-comers, Bogs Visionary Orchestra. Their song "Everybody's Broken" is vibrant and leaves me wonderstruck.

The fact is that Asthmatic Kitty have quietly become a big player in indie music, so if you're smart, you might want to give these 24 tracks a little attention.”

There are only maybe 135 people in the world who really like Jad Fair, Daniel Johnston, or the Shaggs and I’ve heard that 14 of the 135 died this year.” — Mary Leary 8/7/09 - San Diego Entertainer Magazine


"Bogs Visionary Orchestra"
