some SXSW day shows
My friend's band, Imperial Teen, is playing Wed. night. I wish I'd gotten my act together to come down this year!
Inara: So. Would you like to lecture me on the wickedness of my ways? Book: I brought you some supper, but if you'd prefer a lecture, I've a few very catchy ones prepped. Sin and hellfire... one has lepers.
'Serenity'
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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Cool - you're friends with Imperial Teen? Awesome!
Do they have a new album out or something? I just have the one that came out about four years ago.

The new album is due out this fall. They've been recording the last couple of months. They don't all live in the same city anymore so logistics are difficult.

FYI:
Absolutely dreadful is the only way to describe No Hats Beyond This Point, the 2003 record from Men Without Hats. Yes they are still around, although I didn't know that until somebody sent me this record out of the blue. Of course this is final proof that any band from the 80s that got marginal success will do anything to reform and rob you of your money. Don't be conned!
Actually, that link has a bunch of info about a whole bunch of different bands....

Hee!
eta: Right now I'm listening to "The Cat in the Hat." My boss asked me, "Where do you find this stuff?"

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Very cute. There\'s something about the breathing that gives it away though. t /nitpick
In a similar vein, have folks heard this?: [link]

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
There was some discussion on the board where I got the Dylan link as to whether these were the works of the same people.

Hec should go to this:
EL PERRO DEL MAR performing live and acoustic
SUNDAY, MARCH 11th 4:00 p.m.
Right here, at AQUARIUS RECORDS 1055 Valencia Street (btwn 21st and 22nd)
Folks around here have been mighty captivated by the dreamy pop sounds of El Perro Del Mar, aka Miss Sarah Assbring, and now we get a rare opportunity to experience her sweet shimmery song stylings in person, all acoustic and intimate. Imagine the aural equivalent of a vintage Margaret Keane painting... y\'know, those saucer-eyed, forlorn ragamuffins who sort of resemble Hope Sandoval. Quite girlish and just a little bit tweaked, she combines Brill Building pop with the voice of a kittenish Kate Bush or Jane Birken. Her songs are sweet confections of love’s seemingly cruel humor, heavily influenced by the doo-wop arrangements of Bacharach and Phil Spector. Catchy and occasionally melancholy, El Perro Del Mar\'s debut is one of the best sensitive pop records of last year. Come hear some of those songs performed live, right here in our cozy little store, super personal, stripped down, acoustic and live!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Hec should go to this:
Heh - JZ just alerted me to this act yesterday.
heavily influenced by the doo-wop arrangements of Bacharach and Phil Spector
Hmph. Spector and Bacharach did not arrange doo-wop songs.
JZ's article said Girl Groups by way of Velvet Underground.
