Music
by Tommy
Those of you who know me well will know I am a music freak. The way I see it, you can be silent once you’re dead, so until then, you have no excuse not to like music.
I have some pretty bizarre music tastes, I love jazz, rock and The Dresden Dolls (yes, they get their own genre – how many other bands do you know that fall under “modern/punk cabaret”?!)
When it comes to Jazz, I love the works of Frank Sinatra and Jamie Cullum. Rock bands I enjoy include Red Hot Chili Peppers, Band from TV and The Fray.
The Dresden Dolls get a whole genre to themselves. What do you think of when you hear the word “Cabaret”? I for one think of honky-tonk pianos and 1930′s America. Now, imagine “Punk Cabaret” and “Rock Cararet”. You have The Dresden Dolls
They’re made up of Brian Viglione and Amanda Palmer. Brian plays epic drums and Amanda does some fantastic lyrics. Their best songs are “Girl Anachronism”, “My Alcoholic Friends” and “The Jeep Song”
Here’s a comical version of “My Alcoholic Friends” from YouTube
