037 Th'shit is B. Nanna's, B-N-A-N-N-A-S
Somebody needs to mashup "Hollaback Girl" with a Braid, Hey Mercedes, or City On Film song right quick.
In high school, there was this local band around town whose lyrics were so band... How bad were they? ...They were so bad... that we accused the singer of stealing them from our cheerleading team. Be... the... best! Go... get... points! Yeah!
You wanna talk about shit bein' bananas, then you best be listening to Dave Brubeck's "Blue Rondo A La Turk" (from Time Out) and then... get crunk with The Velvet Teen as they cover Magnetic Fields' "No One Will Ever Love You" (from the Immortality 7"). Now if you'll excuse me, I need to take a shower and get dressed.

i caught an earlier velvet teen tour with death cab a few years ago. they kept our attention more than ever. i miss those old tours when bands still set up their own gear.
I just recently aquired Dave Brubeck Quartet - Jazz Impressions of Japan. Highly recommend that one.
Thank you so much for that cover. I heard it on a comp Scout's Honor was selling last year and I hadn't been able to track it down until just now.
Do you still cover "The Luckiest Guy on the Lower East Side?"
And as for Brubeck, I love how the name of that song is a reference to all of the time signatures. I once had to explain it to a class and I drew this awful diagram on the board which probably did more harm than good, but I'd like to think they got the general idea.
Have you gone mad Bob?
