Frente! wasn’t a household name in the 90s, but their Marvin the Album was one of my favorites from the 90s. They are probably most known in the States for their cover of New Order’s “Bizarre Love Triangle”. I love that cover, but I chose “Accidently Kelly Street” because it one of their own songs, and one of my favorites off of Marvin the Album.
Elvis Costello is so great. I love everything he does. Even him singing “Monster Went and Ate My Red 2″ with Elmo.
Some guys just have all the talent.
I can’t believe I haven’t posted a Letters to Cleo video yet. “Here and Now” is probably their most popular song. The video looks a little dated, but I still love the song. I loved every single Letters to Cleo album. They were one of my all time favorites. Kay Hanley’s solo stuff is also really good, and I love her new band Palmdale too.
This video has been posted all over the interwebs. I wish I knew, or even halfway understood the science that makes this work.
*Update* Kyle over at Science-Based Life has an explanation on what’s going on here.
I’m not one to post cat pictures. The internet is already full of them, but this was just too cute not to share.

This is a three year old video, but it’s new to me. Funniest thing I have seen in a long time.
I love and hated this song. It was catchy, good, and annoying all at the same time.

I’ve been seeing a lot of this lately. Except of course my iPhone isn’t named “dat ass”. Ha.
I love software upgrades. No matter what it is, I always have to have the latest and greatest. It’s like a free present. Many upgrades I have had regrets doing, but I still always get them as soon as possible.
Today was a big day for upgrades. iOS 5 came out. I upgraded my phone already, and am working on getting my iPad upgraded. I like the new features so far. Lifehacker has a great article about all of the new features.
Now it’s time to play!
Veruca Salt were one of my favorite 90s bands. They are still around, but really haven’t been the same since Nina Gordon left. American Thighs, and Eight Arms to Hold You are amazing albums, too bad their newer stuff isn’t quite as great. I was lucky enough to see them twice in concert in the 90s. Seeing Nina Gordon crowd surf and almost losing her pants remains one of my great memories from the many great shows I have seen at First Ave.
