Anya ,'Get It Done'
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.
Tegan and Sara are playing here in a small venue on Monday night. Tickets were way sold out before I got wind of the show, and none of the online scalpers seem to be selling tickets to their show.
That's what happens when they play their own country, huh? We didn't have much trouble getting in when we saw them in SF.
Lone Justice at the Paradise?
Sadly, no. I did see Lone Justice open for U2 at the Spectrum in Philadelphia in 1985 (thank you Google, my external memory).
I went to a whole load of shows at the Paradise though. I used to live right across the street (and around the corner from it).

They're from Calgary, which is about 2000 miles away from here (where my sister and my parents live), but Canadians have always been pretty good about supporting their own bands. T&S are touring pretty hard, a different town each night. That's a lot of travelling.
I saw A Flock Of Seagulls open for the Go-Go's at the Garden. It was the "Vacation" tour -- serious teenybopper crowd. I was in college, and I felt OLD.
Or the Nails ("88 Lines About 44 Women" ring a bell for anyone?)
Love the song, but I never saw them.
Oooh, I love that song. But I haven't heard it in ages.
I have it and enjoy it. It seems to pop up on every other New Wave compilation out there.
And on Kazaa as having been done by They Might Be Giants. Which irritates me greatly.

Substitute "Istanbul" for "88 lines" and you are me.
I'll stick with the original 4 Lads' version of "Istanbul," thanks. Fun '50s novelty.
