Thanks to a friend, I'm going to see Ghost in September!
Yes, I know they're kinda KISS / Alice Cooper for the new era. That's part of why I like them. Plus, excellent vocals and audio production.
You're not gonna jokey-rhyme your way out of this one.

Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
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.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
So through the YouTube rabbit hole I stumbled across a band called Larkin Poe (who have apparently been performing for 10 years and this the first I've heard of them.) They started off as a bluegrass band called the Lovell Sisters, then the eldest sister retired, the two remaining sisters renamed the band (after an ancestor who was a cousin of Edgar Allan Poe) and over the years they transitioned to playing blues and what they call "roots rock".
This is the song I came across initially: "Bleach Blonde Bottle Blues" [link]
They also do quite a few covers, like this killer version of Bob Dylan's "New Pony" from one of their concerts: [link]
Or this great version of "Paint it Black" (which is one of my favorite Rolling Stones tunes) from their Tip of the Hat series of videos: [link]
Not often I get this excited about a new (to me) artist, so I had to come here and gush for a bit.

The BTS performance on Late Show with Stephen Colbert was amazing!

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
What part of that wasn't lip-synched?

That actually sounds like mostly live singing to me. They almost always sing live over a backing track, and sometimes the backing track is more prominent than here. (They lip sync very poorly, actually.)
Their recent performance on SNL was 100% live with no backing track. SNL has taken the video down, but it's out there via people reacting to them, for example: [link] if you'd like to compare the two performances.

If you just wanted to automatically discount the ability of pop artists, well, that's your privilege, I guess.

Not at all. It sounded lip-synched to me. [shrug]

Why is "Mercy Mercy Me" suddenly stuck in my head? I would swear I heard it just recently, but I have no idea where.
(I don't think it was in the Legion premiere, was it?)

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Did you get tickets? I was in the online queue for 35 minutes and then got the SOLD OUT message. :(
