and I just like how stylized the Monk poster is.
It's a cool bit of graphic design.
The font reminds me of Soviet propaganda posters. t /font geek

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Oh yeah - There's a definite Art Deco feel.

I agree: go for the Monk.

Music Query:
What do you call the metal bars you hit on a glockenspiel or a vibraphone or a xylophone? Are they called keys, or what?

FAQ Wife confirms:
Weirdly, they are simply called "metal bars," or, for short, "bars."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Is there any good reason why go-go music never really made it outside of DC, aside from a song or two 10 or 15 years ago?

I had thought it was because of the 1) the song format being too long to ever get radio play even on college/independent stations and 2) the general insular nature of the DC music scene.
However, this opinion was formed based on a ten-minute conversation with a friend about his friend's student-film-school-project documentary on go go music. So it is likely not worth much.
