Favoriting September 7, 2011: CUTE LEPERS live set!

Listen to this show: Pop-up listen Pop-up player!

'77 punk might be the jumping off point for Cute Lepers -- there's even a song called "77" on their latest album -- but they take that sound and run with it, taking it to places that the Ramones and Heartbreakers never imagined. That new album, Adventure Time (1-2-3-4-Go!/Damaged Goods), is chock-full of catchy anthemic hits and is a cinch to place in the upper reaches of efd's 2011 Best Of list. They're touring extensively across the US, so try to see them when they play your town!

Holly in NC:

I love bagpipes. And Bill Withers. So, all roads lead to Rahsaan!
  11:04pm

  11:30pm
Michael from the Left Coast:

EFD--I learned something interesting this week--did you know Ray Davies and Bob Goldthwait were working on a Schoolboys in Disgrace project together? Interesting pairing (I'm a fan of both but would never imagined the two of them together)
  11:31pm
Holly in NC:

Drat.
But White Hills makes up for my loss.
What'd I lose, anyway?
  11:32pm
Vegas Oddsmaker:

I mean.....really,,,,,
  11:47pm
Beetles:

holy shit, is dat real, or a little robot?
  11:49pm
Exterminator:

Roaches and beetles seek water, so until the studio drip is fixed and totally dried out, they will come around. Just sayin. Sometimes we tell people to dry their sinks at bedtime to help get rid of a roach issue.
  11:52pm
Holly in NC:

That's friggin' real. For pure grossness, check the side-barred video "praying mantis fishing for goldfish" - nor suitable for work, or the squeamish. GREAT to show vegetarian friends, however ! ;-) (sorry, sorry...)
  11:53pm
Holly in NC:

"Dry their sinks". Yeah, I've heard that before...
  11:54pm
Praying Mantis Chowing Down on Goldfish:

mmmm, free sushi....
