    I go through long periods not thinking about this band then one day I’ll listen to one song then go on a binge of listening to almost nothing else for like a week or two. They are such a great freaking band.

    Say what you want about Letterman, but he has had some awesome musical performances on his show and (considering many of them were recurring likely by his request) he also has some great taste in music.

    He definitely has great taste in music. Most people's musical taste stops developing at 30ish. People like Dave are perpetually hip to new tunes. Unfortunately, culture seemed to end right around the time of this airing originally. I mean it's 2021, and this looks and sounds like it's brand new. I blame Instagram, musicians just wank about on there instead of starting bands it seems like.

    I like that Karen is always laughing and smiling (maybe at herself, maybe at the music). It offsets the general glominess surrounding the two boys in the band. It really fits in oddly well in the "Turn Into" video. Love this band.

    I love this song, I play it all the time. My 3- yr old nephew loves it, too. But, being 3, sees it a different way. He thought it was talking about a doggie, "down boy". He says "Hey Jessica, why is she singing about the doggie? I don't know, but I like the song." I was laughing, I hadn't thought of that. I told him "It's ok, you can think of it however you like, as long as you like the song." "Yeah, I like it, it's awesome." Lol, I'll explain it later. There's hope in music taste for the kid.
