Are you referring to the Thai Elephant Orchestra? I wouldn't call their instruments marimbas, but it sounds cool nonetheless.

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

My mom bought me the Jingle-Cats album for Xmas.
Did your Jingle-cats breath smell like cat food?

Up with the sun
I have Pixies tickets for Dec. 8. I don't care what they cost -- I was too young to see them when they were together, and it's not like they're going to be in town cheaper next year. (Or at least, one would hope, 'cause I don't like the idea of Frank Black as Roger Daltry.)
The next concert I'm going to is Rilo Kiley. Has anyone seen them live? How are they?
Also, msbelle -- insent.

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor
Never seen them myself, but I have friends who have, and they're still talking about it. If I don't get to see them soon, I may have to kill those friends.

Oh. My. God.
Shatner sings again!

So I've been rooting through my tape collection and buying CDs of albums that I used to listen to a lot 15-20 years ago but have not listened to recently. Currently I'm grooving on The Best of The Passage and The Glove's Blue Sunshine. The Glove was a side project of Robert Smith of the Cure and Steven Severin of Siouxise and the Banshees. This album doesn't really sound like either of them.
I'm getting all nostalgic for my younger self....

Punishingly Intricate
The next concert I'm going to is Rilo Kiley. Has anyone seen them live? How are they?
They were pretty good. I knew NOTHING about them when I saw them and I stood there and paid attention to their whole set. (Usually my attention span she is not so long for a band I don't know)
I think I'm going to be in Hawaii when the Pixies are in DC. That is how I console myself for not getting tickets (I'm sure they're sold out now, right?). I also console myself with the fact that I am old and went to college in Boston in the 80s and saw them at the Rathskeller in Kenmore Square lo' these many years ago. It was one of the best shows I ever saw. It was packed and sweaty and loud and wonderful. I stood with my friend on a milkcrate through their whole set. Kim Deal forgot the words to Gigantic.
