Willow ,'Showtime'
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.
Jesse! You went to the Prince Loser's Lounge! How was it?
The "Little Red Corvette" was definitely a highlight. Also fun was when one of the singers started with "When I say LOSERS, you say LOUNGE!" I shit you not. (Note: This is not really that kind of crowd. When you look around the room, most people look happy, but no one is moving, and hardly anyone is even singing along.)
LL is doing *Prince*!?!
Damn, I need to go. But I am away next weekend!
Has anyone ever heard of a punk band called Tutu and the Pirates?
No. Has anyone ever heard of a non-punk band called Eddie from Ohio?

I have! They play around the DC-area from time-to-time. Haven't actually seen them live yet, but I've heard one of their songs done by a bunch of friends of mine.("Three Fine Daughters of Farmer Brown" is the song I've heard)

DO IT. I've seen them three times. They're so fun live. They sound terrific, and the stage banter is absolutely hilarious.

Like, your friends are in a band that covers EFO? That's awesome!

That's a fun song, and if you go to a live show, tell me so I can teach how to do the Joe so you can be cool.
Looking Out the Fishbowl is ending...I'm going to put in Quick now.

No, but in the mid 1980s there was a danish band called Dodo and the Dodos.

I really prefer cruller bands. More filling and satisfying.

Well, it's a filk group that covers a variety of material. (It's an all-female group called Lady Mondegreen)
I also know of EfO because one of my favorite acapella groups performs with them often. Have you heard of DaVinci's Notebook?
I found a song I think she'd REALLY like -- "Star, Star" by the Frames. I like both the studio version (which is on Emusic) and the live version (which I found on some mp3 blog or another, which led me to go look for the studio version, and which picks up a bit of "Pure Imagination" in the middle, to tremendous crowd approval). Anyway, I think she'd like it. I do. It's kinda Sufjan-y, kinda Wilco-y.
I hadn't heard of them until I caught the end of their set opening for Calexico in Boston. They were great, and I was mad at myself for missing most of it. The CDs were disappointing in comparison.
They seem to have a huge following in Boston. Must be the Irish thing (Irish bands here always bring in a crowd). Calexico, the headliner, played to fewer people.

Their name continues to confuse me because the guitarist/singer of fIREHOSE (post-Minutemen band with the same rhythm section) was called Ed from Ohio. What's up with that? Was it intentional?
