No one will ever accuse me of being avant garde, I know, but finally had presence of mind and the time last night to look into a band I've been hearing about for awhile now, Rilo Kiley. I guess they're supposed to be "underground" or "indie" but, so far as I can tell, they just make really good music.
In another case of "Hey, it's really a small world after all . . . . ", it should be noted that Jenny Thompson, the lead singer of Rilo Kiley, was probably my first ever full blown crush when I was a kid. Its likely that you've never seen her in anything before . . . . but if you're a guy, almost 30, and saw The Wizard (starring Fred Savage, Super Mario Bros. 3, and the Game Glove) then you remember the girl that Fred Savage had a crush on in the movie (and you did too! admit it!) and that girl grew up to be Jenny Thompson.
Provided that all the internet widgets and do-hickeys are working correctly, below you should see a player loaded with all the songs from their newest cd, Under the Blacklight. If you've got a little while, I recommend it.
UPDATE - I'm told by one of the few people I know of that is a bigger dork than I am - Andy - that what I referred to above as the "Game Glove" was, in fact, called the "Power Glove." He also told me he's a jackass and, since he's right about that, I'm sure he's right about the "Power Glove." He "loved the Power Glove."

I want a power glove.
The Power Glove was the prototype for what would become the WiiMote.
