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!

.("Three Fine Daughters of Farmer Brown"

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.

Has anyone ever heard of a punk band called Tutu and the Pirates?

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?

(It's an all-female group called Lady Mondegreen)

Dude, that's brilliant. (Mondegreen's a big word for filk, isn't it?)

Have you heard of DaVinci's Notebook?

Yeah. They're on the same label, actually. I have "Title of the Song," which is very amusing.

From allmusic.com:

They got the name Eddie from Ohio from [drummer Eddie] Hartness, whose girlfriend started calling him "Eddie from Ohio" after eD fROMOHIO, a member of the now-defunct group fIREHOSE.

A friend of mine in Chapel Hill who is a fan of theirs told me yes some years back. This was when Ed Crawford (nee fROMOHIO) was kicking around town & occasionally playing in Whiskeytown.

xpost with P-C, natch.

Mondegreen's a big word for filk, isn't it?

Um, not to be dense, but what do you mean by that?

I know I've heard the word "mondegreen" before. I thought it might be the same thing as "filk," but now I think I remember what it means. It's a big word for "misheard lyric," right? Of which "'scuse me while I kiss this guy" is the most famous?
