Mal ,'Safe'
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.
Can you get yourself up to Cincy on Friday, May 14? Because Jamie Cullum is playing at this event, and I am *so* there.
Fucking yeah I can come! (That is, as soon as I check on car availability.) How much are tickets?
Looks like $15, and that's for the whole evening's worth of bands (though the rest are unfamiliar to me, except for -- egad -- REO Speedwagon).
I was listening to NPR this morning and they did a story on the Punk Rock Orchestra and a piece about Franz Wright that included an interview with the lead singer of Unlit and one of Unlit's songs.
Funny article in today's Boston Globe about that Blender "worst song" thing.
Cute piece. Though it does worry me that a music editor has never heard of Marconi.
I'm sure Craig knows but was being flippant. He also asks "what is the mamba?" and then answers his own question.
Sumi - I just linked to the Punk Rock Orchestra piece over in Natter. (Sorry, beyond my abilities to link to that post.) Anyway, I had never heard of Unlit, but I liked what I heard.
I loved the operatic version of "California uber alles" and the orchestral version of "Lust for Life".
I'm sorry, Punk Rock Orchestra? I mean, I went to the website, and, OK, but are there samples?
An orchestral version of "Lust for Life"? I am So There.
It'd be hard to top the KISS Symphony.
