Music TopicToday's band of the day is Jill Sobule. You may have heard her one hit, "I Kissed a Girl". That's a great song, but she is about much more than that. I saw her open for Warren Zevon a year or two back and she put on a great show, just her and her guitar. I hadn't checked on her website in a few months, and when I went back today, I see that she has really beefed up her MP3 download page. Wow! On top of that, she has a song called "Mexican Wrestler" about wanting to put on the mask and become someone else (and beat up a truculent lover.) I love it. sleeve for a killer future BOTD). Yesterday's band, Michelle Malone played, as did the fabulous Gentle Readers. I remained flummoxed at how I missed hearing about this band. They are unbelievably good. We picked up their album You in Black and White and still need to get their most recent. I must have listened to YIB&W one hundred times since January. Their record company has MP3s available for YIB&W and their newest one Hi Honey. Seriously, check out the song "California" and listen to the lyrics. They are all about getting screwed by record companies! In this RIAA driven world, this song gets more relevant every day. Besides that, it is catchy as all hell! This band is an A-one, bonafide wonderful group. I wish I had the cash to buy $10,000 worth of their records. I have been avoiding buying Hi Honey at a records story, hoping I could buy it at a show and give them all the cash. I don't think I can wait any longer, though. Maybe I'll just buy it and hand them a $20 when I see them.
