Dr. Dog makes Mondays a little easier

Mondays are big clichés of suck, plagued by jammed traffic, cold coffee, boring television, sleep deprivation, loneliness, asthma, lost socks, rabies, un-locatable beeping noises and locusts. Well, some of those things, anyway. The point is, what on earth could make a body get jazzed for Monday?

Well, how about new streamable tracks from Philidelphia lo-fi doo-wop rockers Dr. Dog? Sounds pretty frown-repellent to me. Yes, each Monday through Sept. 3, members of the band will hand-pick random unreleased songs from the group’s back catalogue for easy homepage availability.

Furthermore, the members of Dr. Dog – who began a short July tour last night in Lake Forest, Calif. - will appear on the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson Friday, July 13, where they will perform “The Girl” from their latest album, We All Belong.

It might look something like this: Dr. Dog on Letterman
