It's February! Happy February. Why is February spelled so strangely? I just doesn't look right. Shouldn't it be Feburary? Am I pronouncing it wrong?

I saw Akron/Family play at the Los Angeles Natural History Museum (at about this position, looming elephants, bowing giraffes, and dignified looking whatever those things are on the right and all) and they were fantastic. Their albums tend to be kind of noodly (if you understand what I mean by that, then yay!) but in a live context their music takes on a vibe more akin to... this song!

(OH MY GOD! I never saw the huge walking dinosaur while I was there? I would have shit myself! I was not in my right mind at all. I probably would have ran screaming from the building if I had seen that thing coming at me. Man. They serve alcohol there. What are they thinking, walking a dinosaur through the halls?)

(Also that guy complains about The Dodos' front man sitting through his whole set. I only mention it because it struck me as odd, to complain about that. You better stand up while you play unless you're 70! Like, what? Let the guy sit. Maybe he has some sort of... sitting disease. Where he has to sit.)

(There was indeed a dancing circle of "hippies" [actually it was a bunch of teenage blonde girls wearing outfits straight out of the 80's] during their set, which became greatly amusing when this tall, let's say Armenian, guy with sunglasses on decided to dance by them, after joking about it with his friends, and within seconds the entire gaggle of girls were dancing around him as one swirling mass. After a minute he walked off, thoroughly amused. [Minutes later two skinny white boys dancing like punk rockers but dressed like they were from Hogwarts (kill me for that reference) bounded into the group of girls and, again, it only lasted briefly.])

(That paragraph was so rife with typos on my initial publish! God! Dropped words everywhere.)

This is the best song ever. I hope it sets the tone for February.

It's Sunday! No one reads this on Sundays.

Song Note: I was supposed to post this forever ago, back when I posted Johnny Appleseed by Joe Strummer. So go listen to that one too. Hopefully it shows up in the "Related Songs" box so I don't have to manually link it because I am lazy. I'll say it some more: Joe Strummer. Johnny Appleseed. Ah-ha, there!
