Driving back from the desert the other day, Gregor and I listened to hours upon hours upon hours of girls with guitars (and other stringed instruments). My favorite by far was
The Ditty Bops.These eminently photogenic women make uptempo, old-timey folk with a 20s tinge, extremely clever songwriting, and a pleasantly cynical tone. Listen to them performing
Angel with an Attitude (my current favorite) live, and you'll see what I mean:
Angel With an Attitude mp3It's the kind of music you'd like to have at a picnic, the sort of thing that's perfect for a sunny afternoon in spring. I didn't say it was soft! Just... pleasant. Further extending their supply of magic, these girls have been spending their summer
touring the nation on bicycle. Yes! It's true. In fact they are on their way to Oregon...
Puffy, got plans next week? No? Great, then go catch the show.
