Poor Aim: Love Songs and Remixes [KLP167]

"We're gonna jerry rig the cd player", said Jona, "and get three cd's playing at once." Khaela was in total agreement, "it might kill the stereo, but the sound of it will be worth it." Back in 2004, Jona Bechtolt and Khaela Maricich conducted an experiment. Working together for the first time as The Blow, they set out to record an EP of radio style pop hits. The songs had to be slick enough to make it on the radio, and smart enough to make both of the collaborators proud. The delicious success of their experiment, Poor Aim Love Songs [KLP167], is being celebrated with a re-release. In addition to the original record, the re- release features several re-mixes (CD format only) by close friends of The Blow, including Strategy, Lucky Dragons, Alan Fortarte, as well as reconsidered tracks by both Jona (YACHT) and Khaela themselves. Pop is a wide spectrum, with hits and misses in styles all along the dial, but Jona and Khaela worked with the brave intention of fusing together the best of it
