These guys are like, fruit/vegetable/human mutants – I wonder how their live shows are. I mean, can you even see them? But damn, the song IS very southern and catchy. I like it.
Can’t deny that this video reminds me of this old stand by –
Some girl with marginal knowledge of Star Wars explains it all…
If you haven’t seen this (1. you’re nuts) there are spoilers ahead.
I find this hilariously charming. Moreso the graphics than anything.
Ode to Sunshine is one of my faaaaaaaaavorite records right now. Now check this out.

IRRESISTABLE
House Built For Two –
SO PRETTY
Pete Seeger, his grandson who sings loud (and well, yes) and Bruce Springsteen.
(and if you notice… George Lucas dancing.)
One of my favorite voices in the world belongs to this woman. This is a great insight into the upcoming record. DREAMY!!!!
Fanboys comes out February 6th… Amber Carter’s B-Day, aka a National Holiday
From her first performance on the Porter Waggoner show…
For serious, though – it’s fantastic, and she is just plain gorgeous in it.

Dear Ryan,
In response to the news a couple days ago, which, obviously has evoked a certain amount of concern and equal parts of snark in the music media, let me just say the following. You do what you’ve got to do. You certainly don’t have to stop forever. But give yourself a nice break, but not for too long, ok? Because if you do that, pretty soon you could turn into Peter Green after he left Fleetwood Mac. And the last thing I want to hear about is how you’ve become a hermit and are inadvertently competing for the Guinness Book of World Records title for Longest Fingernails. That’s just gross.
So, take it easy – travel and do all the things you want to do and haven’t had the chance. Relax. Watch cable all day a couple days a week, just hang out and listen to records. Make cocoa at night and curl up with Telenovellas that you’ve Tivoed, even if you don’t know Spanish. Run off to a small town where no one knows you and go for long walks every day to clear that pretty head of yours. The internet will probably keep writing about you, and I’ll wait for your return.
And there is always an open couch at the tigerbeatpoet nerd lair if you want to just swing up for a weekend of funny movies on dvd and take out and record shopping. I won’t even try to mack on you. And also – if you’re interested, I will attempt to sneak you into local shows as incognito as possible – we have a grip of awesome bands in Minneapolis. Anyways, the offer will be longstanding.
Take care,
Jen xo
*In which I might come off as mildly creepy. But I’m really not.
This is a maniacally cheerful song, one of my absolute favorites of course.
