Back To The Blender
One of my favorite local bands, Life In A Blender just released their sixth -- if I'm correct -- album, The Heart Is A Small Balloon. I've written about them here in the past, but suffice to say, they're strenuously entertaining. Visit their website, buy the compact disc and go see them in July at Joe's Pub. Support your local music scene. I'm usually anchored at home by my two feisty offspring, but I'm going to try to make it to this show, so you should too, dagnabbit.
And -- just to be a bit of a whore for the job for a second -- if you do go check them out, why not post your thoughts and images about it on the freshly minted You R Here blog? Seen a cool show lately? Tell the world about it. Share your impressions. It's fun! Yay!
And I've posted this video of theirs in the distant past, but that was before the easy era of YouTube. So, for an encore presentation, here is the entirely brilliant "Chicken Dance" video by Life in A Blender.
BASTARD LEWIS!

Go to the show! Don't just say you're going to try to go! Go go go! Will you go? Go! We're even going to bring Alice, who's never been to a gig, so bring Charlotte. They can scream at inappropriate moments and break barware together.
Hope you're well, Alex. You certainly still sound like yourself! Your former place of employment would be unrecognizable to you now....
If ya missed the recent story in the TIMES about one of Blender's tunes on the new album, part of it is here:

You have to get TIMES select to see the rest. Is it worth it? Well, I think so, but I'm married to the madness. MP
