It was a double celebration this week as American blues sensation Hold My Kitty released their second album and sold their 100,000,000th single.
The album, Catboy Physics is touted as a refreshing deviation from the canned pap that dominates the airwaves these days. While displaying a musical sophistication not found on their debut album, All You Need is Cats, the lyrics explore some of the most baffling mysteries of the world around us. Scientists from Palo Alto to Cambridge to Bremen have brought the CD into their laboratories in hopes of getting a better understanding of the falling cat phenomenon. Non-scientists have also flocked to the music -- in France alone, Catboy Physics sold over 3/4 of a million copies in its first week.
Meanwhile, Cedric diAngelo, 22, of Sudbury, Ontario, bought a copy of the latest Kitty single, My Angora's Stretched, Friday, thus becoming the lucky owner of the hundred-millionth single sold by the band. In honor of this achievement, the band will be breaking from its travel schedule to play three shows in Sudbury next week.
Along with the title song, Angora's flip side is believed to contain two songs from the band's next large-scale project. Although they are keeping mum about it, word has leaked out that they are producing a rock opera about a cat who becomes unresponsive to the people around him.
