Hey, At Least It's Not a Completely Crappy Week Now
Well, so the delightful MonaLisa Twins, who should be household names, have a cool new song up on the intertubes.
Meanwhile, bogus "musical" acts like Geese get to be on Saturday Night Live.
If I may... What you don't get is that somewhere along the line (perhaps when sampling began) commercial acts got lazy and decided that beats and eccentric presentation would do and writing melodies was too much bother and therefore uncool.
Have MLT ever toured in the States? They should!!!

I'm pretty sure they haven't, but if they did I'd go to see 'em in a heartbeat. 😎
ReplyDeleteTheir originals just keep getting better.
ReplyDeleteNice. Listening to it with my MLT mouse pad besides me.
ReplyDeleteThat is SOOOO cool. Hey, waitaminit -- I want one. Can I assume it's available on their website?
DeleteI got it in a package deal from them years ago - with cds, buttons, a coffee mug, a lanyard and the mouse pad. I don't see it on their website now.
