This song seemed fitting for today : ) From Lifestyle's* long out-of-print 1998 debut "At The Risk Of Sounding Pretentious". I'll be posting more about Lifestyle in future but 'Pretentious' is amazing, the record that showed me it is possible to mix humour and pop music and have it actually be good. Every one of these songs will be lodged in your head for years to come. I remember going to the record release in October 1998 and was so blown away by the intensely out-of-place-for-almost-anywhere (certainly a bar in Allston, MA) 11-person spectacle of what I had just witnessed that I left in silence, speechless. I usually like to, if I've met the band members before, tell them I enjoyed the gig, which I did, immensely, but after the over-the-top-ness of the performance, I didn't feel any sort of communication was possible ; )
Wedding Day
And the "You're Gonna Make It Today" video from the album:
*2 free download albums there, including the songs "Come On" (my favourite song of last decade), "Shopping for Music", "Everyone's In Love", "Sound", a cover of Scott Walker's "Duchess", and lots more HITS.
