. "Big, confident pop songs that fizz with melody" 4 stars. Music OMH // "Admirers of the Magnetic Fields, Pet Shop Boys and the Postal Service ought to find I Blame Society a treasure trove." 8/10 Press Association // Queer New York duo the Ballet marry the DIY ethos of the Hidden Cameras with the wry poeticism of the Magnetic Fields and the romantic pop of Jens Lekman, to create literate, infectious pop gems. Formed in 2005 by Greg Goldberg and Craig Willse, the Ballet self-released two previous albums: Mattachine! (2006) and Bear Life (2009). These caught the attention of Fortuna Pop!, which released their third album, I Blame Society, in 2013. The Ballet has been joined by a few other musicians along the way including Ginger Brooks Takahashi and Michael O'Neill, who left in 2007 to join JD Sampson in MEN, as well as guest appearances on previous albums from Linton from The Aislers Set, Ramesh from Voxtrot, Scott Matthew, and Kaki King. In addition to citing Stephin Merritt as an influence, Goldberg, who writes and home records all of the band's songs, draws from an array of pop artists and periods, from 60's bubblegum to 80's synthpop and 90's indiepop, fusing these in sophisticated and novel ways that reward repeat listening. The Ballet's new album, Matchy Matchy, is a return to the upbeat tenor of the band's first two albums. While inspired by Goldberg's experience navigating an open relationship with his boyfriend of 14 years, Matchy Matchy is not straightforwardly autobiographical; Goldberg writes from his experience, while also fantasizing about the perspective of his objects of desire, leaving ambiguous which is which. He is generally less melancholic than on I Blame Society, and fans will notice a return to earlier themes ("Looking" tackles Grindr, as "Personal" did Gaydar in 2006). Goldberg is not shy to write songs with explicitly queer subjects ("But I'm a Top," "Messing Around," "First Time in a Gay Bar"), while also taking on more universal longings, pleasures, and frustrations ("Jersey," "Love Letter," "Cry Baby"). As the album's title suggests, Matchy Matchy is also a meditation on sameness, both in it's musical material (think limited chords in major keys, repeated phrases and constructions, and citations of Goldberg's influences) and in it's lyrical exploration of queer relationships and encounters. The album reclaims the insult of "matchy matchy," finding value in repetition and doubling, both within the album and across the Ballet's discographyA1) Looking A2) Jersey A3) But I'm a Top A4) I've Been Wondering A5) Love Letter A6) Your Boyfriend B1) 20 B2) Messing Around B3) Cry Baby B4) First Time in a Gay Bar B5) Am I Dreaming B6) You're Mine

Dogs love balls
Color: Orange
Most dogs love to play with balls. This is a ball.
It squeaks and can handle a lot of strong chewing. Quite durable and a good size for medium and up sized dogs. (Honestly even smaller dogs would have fun with this).

Heavy duty for sure
Color: Purple
Heavy duty toy. This ball has some weight to it! I have a smaller laber doodle that thinks she's a German Shepard so no toy is too big or heavy for her. She's been chewing on this for months but you'd never know it. The squeaker is even hard for me to activate with my hands. She hits it in the right spot every now and again and gets excited about it. Great if your not crazy about hearing a squeaker squeaking non stop!

All dog sizes can enjoy this ball!
Color: Orange
This is a terrific dog ball! Our Pittie can't tear it apart on day 2 which is unusual! Also, its big enough that he can't swallow it but not so huge that our mini Doodle can't enjoy it too! We have more than one of these to keep our pups busy!
