the dutchess & the duke

It seems every time we go and see a band in Seattle or Portland, The Dutchess & The Duke are the opening band. They're actually pretty good and I stumbled across this kind of gory video today. Enjoy Monday!!

An old Daily Show bit that does not lose it's appeal. Thank you youtube! There's also a whole Demetri Martin comedy special on youtube. What can I say...he's a cutie pie.

This year I've made a few resolutions and one of them is getting rid of cable television. I will truely miss TCM (the only tv station to ever win my heart) and I'll miss the Colbert Report. Luckily, I was able to catch Robert Schneider from the Apples in Stereo perform as an "opening act" to Stephen's guitarmageddon. I used to be a huge Apples fan and remember being so excited seeing them open for Pavement and yelling from the balcony at the Vogue Theater to play my favorite songs from FunTrickNoiseMaker (oooh, was that almost 1o years ago?). What can I say, they're a catchy band that I've seen probably more times live than any other band (well other than local favorites). You can view the super catchy original song with all the fun animations at the You Ain't No Picasso blog, and also download the song as an MP3. Cool.

Popsheep just blogged about this video and I'm being a copy cat because I just like this song. It's great to see all the toys that go into all the bleeps and bloops. Plus, it's got a kazoo and a harp. Nothing wrong with that.

I'm From Barcelona - We're From Barcelona

Can there be anything more lovely than this song & video? I think not. I love all the na-na-na's and all those sweet Swedish faces. Nice.
