two notes
1) Last night Joe, Maris, Alex and I went to see the Crystal Stilts play the Yeti release party. They were so good, despite the fact that their keyboard player — in his first-ever show — showed up sheepishly halfway through the second song. Live, there is such a great Velvet Underground vibe, and people were eating it up. Bonus: Dean Wareham (Luna, Galaxie 500) was there, and is a fan as well! Bonus Bonus: Standing outside on Ludlow, Dean was on the east side of the street, comedian Demitri Martin on the left. Before we knew it, Dean crossed the street and they were talking to each other! As Alex said, “99.9% of the world would have no idea what this means, but it’s rad.”
2) Longtime eMusic favorites Frightened Rabbit will be having a huge night tonight, as their song “Good Arms” will be played in its entirety during the last five minutes of Grey’s Anatomy. Congrats Scott and the boys!
Good Arms vs. Bad Arms is BY FAR my favorite F.R. Tune. Sheeets! how can you get better than “I might not want you back but I want to kill him.” great seeing as the chick I’m in love with is back in my life and wants me to meet her current beau (at least one year going strong grrrrrrrrrrrrr.)
Hurrah my first White Listed Post
oops, I forgot she watches House (ha she’ll hear itr and not even know that I’m cursing him with it. Two notes from me too.
Congrats to The Stilts.
ohhhh Grey’s anatomy not House damn I’m dumb
House is so much better though
I totally love love love Frightened Rabbit, but not enough to watch Gray’s Anatomy, no matter how many congratulations are warranted in this case.
I’ll ask my wife if she noticed the song when she hits the DVR later this weekend. Sadly, I’ll bet she (like most Gray’s viewers) doesn’t notice at all. How’d Joe Purdy’s career take off after the first season of Lost, I wonder? They used his song, “Wash Away” several times that season, and featured it very prominently. Anyone know?
