bk.jpgPartie Traumatic, the debut full-length from last October’s band-of-the-moment Black Kids, is now streaming on MySpace. The album is recommended to the young, the happy, the idealistic, dancing silhouettes wearing earbuds who wish the Ting Tings sounded more like “a band,” and those who would love Hot Hot Heat if they weren’t so 2002.
