Very cute. There\'s something about the breathing that gives it away though. t /nitpick

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.

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!

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.
I lean Spector more than Bacharach on her sound. Her song "God Knows (You Gotta Give To Get)" is a near-perfect slice of Girl Group music with a modern ironic razor wit. One of my favorite tracks of last year.
Did anyone already post the outcry over Prince's appearance at the Super Bowl? That's the source of my awesome tagline: [link]
I like El Perro Del Mar. They're a neat group.
Damien Rice and Ray Lamontague acoustic duet for The Beegee\'s \"You Don\'t Know What It\'s Like.\"
Mostly, I\'m wondering if there\'s a rule that soulful emotastic male singer-songwriters aren\'t allow to shave or cut their hair.

There was much mocking over in Natter or Bitches; can't remember which.
I wish I'd caught that because reading those complaints made my day.
