Happy 100th, Frank.
Debbie Gibson – We Could Be Together
Kyle gave a long and (relatively) epic performance yesterday, just like what I can only assume is his kin did here.

The Blow – True Affection
Okay, I have many complex feelings about these guys this gal. First off, she finds great people to collaborate with. Her studio albums are sonically pretty cool (and as she's singing over a recording, you'll get an idea of it). However, her schtick can get a little annoying. I mean, a lot of her songs, I think it's a conscious thing to kind of make a point, but that doesn't make it any less annoying. Kind of like a Girls type of thing, maybe. I don't know. That said, I still dig Khaela and her tunes, regardless of how nutty she is/may be.

There really aren't any good live cuts out there at all, so this will have to do.
The Drums – Book of Stories
This is a regular band with the traditional single percussion player, not a band of drum kits playing instruments. Sorry if the title is misleading.

mewithoutYou – In a Sweater Poorly Knit
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apvKxyR6Vzs
Skip to 50 seconds to avoid babble.
mewithoutYou are a fairly different sort of band, and this is a different sort of video. Accordions, harps, and dancing white dudes are prevalent here, and the song itself sort of eschews their usual aesthetic, which was originally a sort of abrasive, lyrical post-hardcore sound. Aaron Weiss is one of my favorite lyricists, and the album which this song appears on (Brother, Sister) is one of my "desert island" albums.
Lord, those dancing people are obnoxious. I enjoy this performance of the song, though, so this is what you get.
A Flock Of Seagulls – I Ran
Running my first 5K today. A momentous occasion, I'm sure.

I would like to retract my previous statement. This album is pretty solid.
