Tom Selleck\u2019s Mustache actually is not in the band (because autonomous mustaches can\u2019t play instruments or sing), though an artist\u2019s rendition of the Selleck\u2019s famous facial hair is clearly visible for the album artwork.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The songs found on the album are as fun as the name of the band. It combines aspects of familiar acts, such as The New Pornographers and Jonathan Coulton, and the vocals sound like a deeper version of Colin Meloy\u2019s. All songs are firmly in the realm of indie pop, bright and active, brought alive by bleeping synths and active bass lines. The guitar tone from \u201cDirty Whisper\u201d is reminiscent of those found in the Pixies\u2019 \u201cWhere Is My Mind?\u201d, but TSM\u2019s songs are more sunny and fun than anything the Pixies wrote by magnitudes. If solid indie rock with a knack for catchy hooks and choruses is your bag, check out Heartbreak 101.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Think<\/strong>: Strong indie pop in the vein of Jonathan Coulton<br \/>\n<strong>Rec<\/strong>: 1,3,4<br \/>\n<strong>FCC<\/strong>: none<br \/>\n<strong>Release Date<\/strong>: Feb. 5, 2013<\/p>\n<p><em>Reviewed by Jason Ralston<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/3764206046-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-20857\" alt=\"3764206046-1\" src=\"http:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/3764206046-1-300x300.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/3764206046-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/3764206046-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/3764206046-1-125x125.jpg 125w, https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/3764206046-1.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mix equal parts New Pornographers, Jonathan Coulton, and Decemberists<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":128,"featured_media":20858,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3230,181],"tags":[1819,1762,1818],"class_list":["post-20816","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-new-music-rotation","category-rock-rotation","tag-heartbreak-101","tag-jason-ralston","tag-tom-sellecks-mustache"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/3764206046-11.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20816","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/128"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20816"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20816\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/20858"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20816"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20816"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20816"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
