Brave Combo have been around forever. Also not my cup-o-tea, but I remember seeing their records in the mid-80's.
Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
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've got Brave Combo on LP. Carl Finch has been a big evangelizer for accordion dance music from around the world. I think their novelty polksas are okay, but appreciate him more for backing Tiny Tim on one record (with the swing band version of "Stairway to Heaven") and for championing Esteben Jordan (#1 cool musician with an Eyepatch! Take that Slick Rick! Okay, maybe James Booker is just as cool. Eyepatch Rock - has Rocktober covered this yet?)
It's been 8 hours, and the Todd Rundgren song (FTR, "Hello It's Me") is STILL STUCK IN MY HEAD!!!
Here ya go, Steph:
Welcome to our world
Welcome to our world
Welcome to our world of toys
Welcome to our world
Welcome to our world
Welcome to our world of toys

That you know you are freeeeeeee....
'Cause I never want to make you change for me....
Great song...
Chatty!co-worker is playing Looney Tunes music to try and get Rundgren out of my head. It's currently Kill the Wabbit.

SMOOOOOOOOOOOOOGGGGGG!
I'm in the midst of a big Prince kick. Have heard enough good things about "Musicology" to know I want to buy it. Enjoyed the EW interview. Am considering buying tickets to his Seattle show (but am scared about the price).
