Some Tuneage I Dig

A final congratulations to the cast and crew of Museum. And a reminder to all Mann Show and friends to tune in two weeks for the announcement of this years, Mann Show 2009 Spring Main-stage Production. The title will be released in a press conference at Mann, and will appear shortly thereafter upon the blog.

Moving along briskly to the focus of this post, The Fratellis.

I recently stumbled upon this Scottish wonder-band and was struck by their distinctive upbeat style. I am certain that many of you are already familiar with the band. I'm dismally slow on catching on to cool things that other folks have known about for ages.

In any case, if you're not familiar with them, look em' up. You might just like what you hear. The majority of their hits maintain an "in-your-face", upbeat, and positive attitude of frivolous debauchery. Ive run through most of their singles so far and have acquire favs including Flathead, Chelsea Dagger, Henrietta, Baby Fratelli. Also, Whistle for the Choir, which is differentiated from the others by a somewhat more sweet and heartfelt feel. Though you wouldn't be able to tell by looking at it's album cover, which like most of the band's titles, feature scantily clad animated females casting coy winks at the listener. Sort of like they plan on seducing you into listening.
