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.

Hey! Yo Gabba Gabba has an album coming out today.
Totally worth it just for Mark Kozelek's super dreamy "Bedtime Lullaby"

Yeah, that was a good one.
Just last week, I grabbed the audio from an episode that featured the Clientele and Mates of State and played their songs on my show!

Not my shoutout, really. One of the other morning DJs picked them for Band of the Week.

Jon, did you see the Feelies at the Roxy the other night? I didn't even try and get tickets, thinking they'd be totally sold out instantly, but according to the review I read, the place wasn't very full. Grrrrr.

Neal Hefti, Composer of 'Batman' Theme, Dies
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Published: October 15, 2008
Filed at 12:04 a.m. ET
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Neal Hefti, a Big Band trumpeter, arranger and composer of themes for the movie ''The Odd Couple'' and the ''Batman'' television series, has died. He was 85.
Hefti died Saturday at his home, said his son Paul Hefti. Neal Hefti's notable achievements include the iconic theme of the 1960s superhero series ''Batman,'' which became a Top 40 hit and won a Grammy Award in 1966 for best instrumental theme. He also composed music for ''The Odd Couple,'' ''Barefoot in the Park'' and ''Harlow,'' which featured his classic track ''Girl Talk.''
His son said the ''Batman'' theme was Neal Hefti's most difficult piece, taking him at least one month to compose the driving bass and explosive trumpet bursts.
''He threw away more music paper on this thing than any other song,'' Paul Hefti told The Associated Press. ''It got down to the blues with a funny guitar hook, the lowest common denominator and a fun groove.''
Neal Hefti was born Oct. 29, 1922, in Hastings, Neb., and played trumpet with local bands as a teenager to earn money.
As an adult, he worked with and arranged music for the greats of the Big Band era, including Count Basie, Woody Herman, Charlie Spivak and Harry James.
''He was one of the really great arrangers and composers of all time,'' radio and television personality Gary Owens, a longtime friend, told the Los Angeles Times.

Believe me, I'm kicking myself that I didn't. I was so sure they were going to sell out - Boston's hipster music cred just took a big hit for me.
I did see them years ago - I think it was in Portland, ME and they opened for somebody, but it might have been Boston. They weren't the main band, I know that. Really great then, but I didn't know enough about them to appreciate them at the time.
