Does anyone know anything about a Brit band called Death by Chocolate? I hung out with Angie Tillett this weekend and her husband mentioned her (now defunct) band. Just curious.

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.

I own both their records! And have been listening to one track in particular a lot lately - her cover of "If You Want to Sing Out" - the Cat Stevens song from Harold and Maude.
I love them a lot, though they're a very distinct and particular kind of musical project. All the songs are either super cool/obscure covers from British pop culture from the late sixties and early seventies (a song from the movie Bedazzled that Dudley Moore put out as a single, the theme to the 70s UK kid's show Magpie), or they are her mod, detailed poems set to sixties-music. Like, she has a whole short song which simply describes in great detail her favorite shirt.
So, if you have an obsession with Mod-era UK, 70s British kinder culture and left-field covers then they're your band.
I can post a couple tracks to Buffrawk tonight if you want a sample.

Somehow I figured you were my go-to guy. Sounds cool, I'd like to hear them. Her husband played in the Lisa Marr Experiment (Lisa Marr of Cub/Buck). Pretty cool musical couple. I think we'll keep 'em.

Tell Angie she's got a fan in San Francisco.
And that her cover of "If You Want to Sing Out" is in high rotation.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I got an OKCupid message from a guy who claims to be in The Dickies. Of course there are no pics on his profile. Too good to be true, right? We're only a 60% match anyway.

I don't know about good, exactly.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
If a studio version of MCR/The Used covering "Under Pressure" found its way to a brawk or 2, I'd sure be grateful.

Oh look, it's a new band, made out of Artists I Like!
And in less happy Me, Myself and Music news, I won't get to see someone who has been the love of my ears in the past month or so, and the amazing project he's playing with tonight, after almost two years they didn't preform live. Just not gonna work. Sigh.

oh, Shir! I don't know why I'm just thinking of this but do you know Monotonix? They are an Israeli band my band has played with and that i've seen several times here. They tour the US seemingly constantly so I don't know how often they play out back home. They are great and hilarious though and you should totally check them out if you have the opportunity!
(Actually everyone should go check them out!)

Of course I know them! I saw them live about a year ago, too. Quite the show...
And I had no idea you're in a band. How? What? How?
