Loading... These guys, and their frontman, are absolutely blowing up right now. I have tickets to see them at tips next week, but the market is so hot I'm thinking about selling them off.
*yes, this isn't life, but I love the blues brothers rif.

Because obligatory. See y'all on the other side of the big water.

A girl at my high school loaned it to me, and it just about blew my mind. This also marks the moment I when I began moving away from top-40 radio.

I know Bootsy said a while back he never really got into Ani Difranco. Fair enough. As a mainstream-radio-listening wannabe feminist at a suburban high school full of jocks, this was just the right music for me at the right time.

I can't remember who told me to listen to her, but she was way outside of what I normally listened to. I just loved her voice, and for whatever reason was thinking about her tonight. I guess she runs a yoga studio downtown now? Anyway, here's a recent recording of her playing the eponymous song from her first record.

To be sure, I'm not sure why she skipped the heart of the bridge, but oh well.
