Pink Martini is quickly becoming one of my favorite bands, Sean, so I would reccomend them beyond their rendition of "Brazil."
I happen to have a random Pink Martini cut, from the
Dead Like Me
soundtrack, "Que Sera Sera", and as soon as Gmail allows, it should be up on Buffistarawk.
Hey guess what? Joan Jett is still fucking hot.
If you haven't seen it already, it's the video for her cover of Sweet's "AC/DC."
Meara should totally do this on drag king night.

Cool stuff, Hec! If I was throwing a party I'd play your mix.
In other super-awesome news! I got tickets to see Jose Gonzales, Zero 7 and Sia play later this month at the Olympia Theater. When I went on Tuesday they had restricted viewing seats and I was like, oh well, at least I'll get to hear them live. But then my card was declined because, well, I was broke. But I got paid yesterday and went back to check again, and really awesome seats had magically been released! First row of the balcony on the aisle, dead center! I'm going to be able to see everything! In short, *awesome.*
I also got tickets to see Calexico, which will be cool. I haven't heard a lot of their recent stuff but I've heard they're always a safe bet live. Ryan Adams (don't judge me!) was unfortunately sold out, though I might check back the day of and see if any tickets have been released; Sufjan Stevens was also sold out, and that really sucks.
I also got tickets (really hugely overpriced ones, especially for standing) to go see Christina Aguilera in November. And that is going to be incredible.
I'm going to see Kristin Hersh (yes, again) tonight. Whee! On the 17th, I'm going to see Bettie Serveert. Good show month!
Anyone have access to Warren Zevon's "Werewolves of London" that you could email to me? Profile address is good. I have the CD somewhere and can't find it, and I promised the song to a friend who's writing a book about werewolves... (Oops.)
Cool and freaky video: Gnarls Barkley's cover of "Gone Daddy Gone": [link]
