Welcome to the land of TAO.

"Local quartet the Alphabetical Order (listen) sounds like it's having fun on its new album "I Am Magically Happening!" Not in a campy, over-the-top way, but in the way that it should sound when four people are making music that they are excited about. And the band should be excited about its full-length debut, an impressive collection of songs that looks fondly back at the '90s -- both locally and nationally -- without feeling like a mere tribute. Most songs have weird little twists and turns but manage to retain subtle pop charms. To celebrate the release of the new album, the band is selling it for $5 [Sunday, Oct. 14] at the Black Cat's backstage."
