Songs in my head:





Saw these guys yesterday. T'was a good show. At least in my opinion (Sara was not as enthused with them as I was.) I mean, they gave it their best effort--it was a band trying to replicate a lot of complex arrangements perfected in the studio in a live setting, which means that there's going to be a couple hiccups. But they provided a nice, loud, and fuzzy blur that at least I found pleasant. The above weren't really set highlights, but rather what got stuck in my head along the way home. (The first one I was kind of upset that they didn't play, but then I remembered that they did, and it was just really early... my mind = slowly eroding.)



There's a song that is currently in rotation on The Current that I hear every single time I turn on the station. Fitz and the Tantrums is the band name, I believe. They're a not-great retro soul band. Anyway, the song that they keep playing has a bridge that's pretty much directly lifted from Rubberband Man. I'm not usually against lifting as long as it's done in moderation, but this particular lifting both a) makes me think about punching the singer in the face, and b) makes me want to watch the video I posted above. Because I'd have to assume their dance moves are perhaps among the top 10 best dance moves in music history. I mean, it's a choreographed giant rubberband-specific dance. How can anyone not love that?



Been listening to a lot of Ween recently. Brilliant. Awesome. One of my favorites. All that stuff. But I've just recently dived into their 12 Golden Country Greats album, which I've only casually listened to before (on account of-not really being into country.) But of course, it's about as good as the rest of their stuff, so I've been intentionally depriving myself for years. Oops. Dig the just about perfect harmonies in the chorus of this one.
