A new record: last week's post got 100 views! For a blog that usually gets 30 or 40, this is like the big time. Thanks to everyone who shares it with their friends! And thanks also to all the bands who keep this thing rolling. This week's picks:
Centaur Midwife
This kind of humanizes the mythical creature (if that's not an insult to centaurs). Like us, they benefit from help delivering their young. And now I've had a thought that never occurred to me before: where do centaur mamas keep their mammary glands? In the horse spot or the human spot?
Dumpster Baby
Homeless Man
These two get in as a bill, a heartbreaking but perfect pairing -- a little street family. In all seriousness, please remember the less fortunate this season as we celebrate the birth in a barn of a homeless peasant.
Fun X Force
Printed, it looks like a physics equation and read aloud, it sounds like a superhero party league.
Roadkill Ghost Choir
Something gross, something spooky, something inspiring. The spirits of flattened raccoons and possums join their voices in song.
UPCOMING: Your Mother Should Know CD release show, with Tom Price Desert Classic, Can You Imagine?, and Dead Bars Friday, January 23 at the Highline Bar. I'd want to go to this show even if I wasn't playing! https://www.facebook.com/events/374070109426331/
Naming a band is an act of concentrated creative expression. Square Pig in a Round Hole exists to reward five favorite band names each week. Winners are listed alphabetically. Selection is wholly unscientific and subject to whim, with a bias toward wordplay, humor, and local flavor. In most cases, I won't know anything about the bands at the time of selection. Thanks to the Seattle Times club listings for abundant source material!
