For my own amusement, I started tracking how the songs from the Billboard Hot 100 from this week in 1974 have been used in movie soundtracks. Feature Films only people! As you read, you will see the “gimmes” that made me think of the idea, but I’m putting this behind a cut because there ended up being so many which had a soundtrack match. As a reminder, you can follow along as I do the Hot 100 each week corresponding to which classic AT40 and VJ Big 40 get played on SiriusXM ‘70s on 7 and ‘80s on 8 respectively with my ever-changing Spotify playlist. 
100. “Beyond the Blue Horizon” - Lou Christie. This one is a cheat because when I looked it up on Spotify it showed up on the Rain Man soundtrack. The only song I could have told you off the top of my head was in Rain Main is the Belle Stars’ version of “Iko Iko.” Rain Man marked the first soundtrack appearance for Christie’s version. 
98. “The Air That I Breathe” - The Hollies. Very memorable appearance in The Virgin Suicides, which had the score done by, wait for it, French electronica duo Air. The song would go on to be heard in other movies. 
90. “Billy Don’t Be a Hero” - Bo Donaldson and the Heywoods. The Paper Lace version appears in The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. Both acts topped the charts with the song on opposite sides of the pond: Paper Lace in the UK and Bo Donaldson and the Heywoods in the US. [Update: the BD&H version may be in "To Gillian on Her 37th Birthday"] 
87. “Hollywood Swinging” - Kool & the Gang. This oft-sampled track first appeared in a feature film in the 2005 Get Shorty sequel Be Cool. 
84. “La Grange” - ZZ Top. Armageddon first, followed by others. 
68. “Band on the Run” - Paul McCartney and Wings.  I didn’t search for this at first because I didn’t think there would be anything, but then Jet was on the chart at #27, so I did a twofer search on imdb. Jet has not been in any films (save “One Hand Clapping, a rockumentary on Paul, which I don’t count for purposes of this discussion) but “Band on the Run” appears in The Killing Fields, in a shocking scene that contrasts the light tone of the pop song with the horrors of the Khmer Rouge’s executions of Cambodian citizens. 
66. “For the Love of Money” - The O’Jays. Has been used many times, according to IMDb the first feature film use was the Richard Pryor roman a clef (if I’m using that right, I only know it from Musings of a Cigarette Smoking Man) Jo Jo Dancer, Your Life Is Calling. 
59. “Rock Around the Clock” - Bill Haley and his Comets. Notably used in Blackboard Jungle, the song is on this 1974 chart for its appearance in American Graffiti. 
55. “Rock and Roll, Hoochie Koo” - Rick Derringer. First one that comes to mind is Dazed and Confused bc I had that soundtrack, but it has been in others.
49. “Love’s Theme” - the Love Unlimited Orchestra. The swirling strings of this song indicate that someone is indeed falling in love. That’s my way of saying, if you think you haven’t heard this, you have. Imdb has it in Mean Girls, among others. 
47. “The Way We Were” - Barbra Streisand. The titular song of the 1973 film The Way We Were, starring Barbra and Robert Redford. A little long, but worth a watch bc Barbra is amazing in it. At the 1974 Academy Awards, Marvin Hamslich won Best Original Song honors for this tune, and was awarded Best Original Dramatic Score for his other musical work on the film. I always think of Lisa Loopner’s big crush on him.  
44. “Don’t You Worry ‘Bout a Thing” - Stevie Wonder. First feature film usage was the 1998 Eddie Murphy flop Holy Man, which surprised me as it’s such a good song, you’d think it would have been in something earlier. Notable given Eddie’s impression of Stevie Wonder he performed on SNL! 
42. “Rock On” - David Essex. Michael Damian’s cover (or remix as described by Patton Oswalt) was recorded for the 1989 2 Coreys classic Dream a Little Dream, and per imdb, David Essex’s original appears in the alternate-history comedy Dick, from 1999. 
37. “Oh Very Young” - Cat Stevens/Yusef Islam. Surprisingly, this sweet song appears in the gross-out bowling comedy Kingpin. 
36. “Jungle Boogie” - Kool & the Gang. This song may have been used in the most films and tv shows of any I’ve researched so far, but its first appearance was in Pulp Fiction. 
34. “The Payback - Part 1” - James Brown. First feature film appearance was in 1995â€Čs Dead Presidents. A different James Brown track appears on the soundtrack for racist-ass Melly Gibson’s Payback from 1999. 
33. “Help Me” - Joni Mitchell.  Another why’d-it-take-ya-so-long shocker, this mellow tune first appeared in the 2018 sci-fi movie Kin, narrowly beating Welcome to Marwen from 2019. 
31. “The Entertainer” - Marvin Hamlisch. The title theme from the Redford/Newman team-up The Sting. Hamlisch won a record-tying third Academy Award in 1974 for Best Original Score for The Sting.  It seems at this time Best Original Score and Best Original Dramatic Score were separate categories. Hamlisch would win Grammys for both this and “The Way We Were,” eventually becoming an EGOT winner in 1995.
30. “Eres TĂș” - Mocedades. This Spanish Eurovision entry notably appears in the buddy comedy Tommy Boy when Chris Farley and David Spade’s characters sing along with the radio. 
28. “Midnight at the Oasis” - Maria Muldaur. Catherine O’Hara and Fred Willard perform their own rendition in the Christopher Guest film Waiting for Guffman. That should be all you need, but imdb has the first film appearance for the song as 1995â€Čs Falcon and the Snowman. 
24. “Let it Ride” - Bachman-Turner Overdrive. This lesser-known but not less great BTO jam has appeared in a handful of films, the first being Ash Wednesday, starring Elijah Wood and directed by Edward Burns and not Garry Marshall. Note: it does not seem to be in the Richard Dreyfuss gambling movie Let It Ride, a classic VHS cover of my youth. 
18. “Mockingbird” - James Taylor and Carly Simon. Memorably performed by Harry and Lloyd in the dog van in Dumb and Dumber, later joined by a Latinx family on guitar and vocals.  Before that, Beverly D’Angelo and Chevy Chase’s characters also sang it on their road trip in National Lampoon’s Vacation. I couldn’t find an instance where James and Carly’s version played in a movie but I am sayin’ there’s a chance. That it could be someday. 
16. “Tubular Bells” - Mike Oldfield. This instrumental is best known for being the theme to The Exorcist, but I was surprised to learn from the Wiki entry that it was not written for the film. Tubular Bells or something that’s meant to sound like it has been in a ton of other things, generally uncredited. Of note: Mike Oldfield would go on to do the score for The Killing Fields. 
14. “Seasons in the Sun” - Terry Jacks. Now here is the type of song that ‘70s haters point to as an example of the whiny wuss rock that they feel over-dominated the era. It’s not one of my favorites but I appreciate it for how weird it is. I suppose being translated into English from a French/Belgian poem will do that to ya. Before I did my search, I imagined I would find it in a Farrelly Brothers movie or two, possibly the Anchorman sequel. However, the only feature film match I found was the 2002 indie flick Cherish, a movie I have never seen despite being confronted by the cover many times at rental places over the years. Before today, when I watched the trailer, I would have told you it starred Jennifer Love Hewitt and was about “a band trying to make it.” It turns out I am thinking of the 1999 film The Suburbans. Anyway Cherish seems aggressively indie and very of-its-time in a way that makes me want to watch it. 
13. “Dancing Machine” - The Jackson 5. The song appears in the Blaxploitation spoof I’m Gonna Git You Sucka, as well as the movie of Starsky & Hutch.
11. “Lookin’ For A Love” - Bobby Womack. This was in the movie of The Ladies Man starring Tim Meadows as his SNL character Leon Phelps. I almost skipped this one but I’m glad I didn’t because Tim Meadows rules.
8. “The Loco-Motion” - Grand Funk Railroad (the single and album it was on are credited to Grand Funk). We have our second song from the Kirsten Dunst/Michelle Williams movie Dick. Since that was satirizing Nixon and Watergate, well done to the filmmakers for including these 1974 hits!  It appeared in one earlier film, My Girl 2. 
5. “Come and Get Your Love” - Redbone. Known to modern listeners for appearing in Guardians of the Galaxy. [Sidebar: if you can find a way to listen to the With Special Guest Lauren Lapkus episode T.G.I.G.O.T.G.OST (Thank God It’s the Guardians of the Galaxy Original Soundtrack) with Sean Clements and Hayes Davenport, do it!] The song first appeared in Dance Me Outside, a Canadian film about First Nations youth, which is a cool parallel with Redbone being composed of Native American musicians. “Come and Get Your Love” is also in Dick! 
4. “Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me” - Gladys Knight & the Pips. Another SNL feature pops up on our list, 1994â€Čs It’s Pat: The Movie. 
3. “Hooked on a Feeling” - Blue Swede. ALSO known to modern listeners as being from the GOTG, but possibly only in the trailer? I’m fuzzy. The song ALSO also appears in Dick, and its first feature film appearance was Reservoir Dogs. 
2. “Bennie and the Jets” - Elton John. You know it, you love it, you cackle at the gag in Mystery Team. IMDb has this song down as first appearing in the low budget feature Aloha, Bobby and Rose, from 1975. It is ALSO in My Girl 2, with proper credit for Sir Elton. 
1. “TSOP (The Sound of Philadelphia)” - MFSB featuring The Three Degrees. IMDb says this appeared in the Al Pacino film Carlito’s Way, and I have no reason to doubt them because it means we are done! Thanks for readin’ and rockin’ along.

Hope Chapter 5 (Jameron fanfiction)
Chapter 4 --> https://simplyrali.tumblr.com/post/167732216645/hope-chapter-4-jameron-fanfiction
Chapter 5
 A black Porsche 911 stopped in front of the Phoenix’s building. Today Joe decided to drop off Cameron for work on his way to SF University. He killed the engine and looked outside through the window. There were only four other cars at the parking lot and honestly the place looked dull from the outside.
So much history was behind these walls – excitement, happiness, tears, hope, broken dreams, memories. Nothing lasted here, no business survived for long and yet all of them kept coming back. He listed in his mind every company that saw its end on these grounds – Mutiny, CalNect, Comet, and now Phoenix was here. But for how long? His life has been a string of failures in this business, everything grew so fast and passed so quickly that made it impossible for someone to be at the top for long. But in exactly this deadly environment the magic happened, ideas were born and progress was made, not only in technology but for people and their way to each other.
The thing that gets you to the thing.
Did he believe in Cameron’s vision and talent? Yes, of course. What she created was unique and had potential to grow in many directions. Joe was more worried that her shortsightedness and stubbornness at the moment might be the things that will bring her down. AI was more than just games. To be honest he had his doubts about Phoenix’s future, but he would never tell her that. Right now her bubble was still intact and that was what mattered, as Gordon had said before all there is is now, he’ll let her enjoy the ride.
Joe handed to Cameron her bag from the back seat as she was fixing her hair in the review mirror.
“Got everything you need?” Joe asked.
“Yep. Thanks for the ride.” Cam put her bag on her shoulder with one hand and with the other she held her steaming coffee. One last look in the mirror and she was ready to go.
A new car parked next to them. A red Toyota Tercel’95. From her got out a plump man with baby pink T-shirt and dark sunglasses. He almost passed them but stopped in his tracks and turned completely towards them, took off his glasses, his jaw dropped and a loud gasp left his mouth. He opened it a few times trying to say something but no words came out. The man pointed with two fingers at his eyes and then pointed Cam with them in a gesture that spoke “I see you”. What followed could only be described as a small happy dance which included a series of uncoordinated movements with his arms. He then burst into laughter and hurried up the stairs.
“Oh boy, here we go
” Cam was not looking towards the explanations she’d have to give inside after this spectacle.
Joe looked at her with amusement.
“A colleague, I assume.”
“Yes, that was Jerry from Graphic Design. He’s genius in his field but the guy loves to gossip way too much,” Cam shook her head. “That was so not what I wanted after skipping work for two days.”
“He seemed cool, I liked his shirt.” Joe gave her a smirk.
“He is. Anyway, good luck today with your interview! ” She kissed him on the lips, a quick peck.
“Thank you, you too with your
” he waved a hand at the building, “ 
thing. I’ll see you tonight.”
“Yes, bye. Oh, and call me to tell me how the interview went. Love you.”
“Sure. Love you too.”
Cam stepped out of the car, closed the door after her and inhaled deeply before heading towards the entrance.
As he watched her climbing the stairs Joe started the engine again.
Time for new a start.
The black Porsche drove down the road leaving a cloud of dust behind.
Catherine Howe hated explaining herself, she was never good with words or with people for that matter. And as she stood in front of the door of her company, she knew she had to do exactly that. She could already hear muffled conversations from inside followed by a series of laughter and whistling. Damn Jerry!  
Let’s do this.
She opened the door and every pair of eyes in the main hall fell on her. All conversations died and suddenly everybody was super busy.
“So, the lady boss is finally back! How was the vacation? Did you get some
 rest? Met someone new?” Jerry spoke with a big smile on his face and gave a high five to the guy next to him – Nathaniel.
Someone laughed and badly tried to cover it with coughing.
“None of your business. Everybody back to work!” Cam took off her coat and passed them. Although she really couldn’t hide the growing smile on her face.
Cam walked in her office and plopped onto her chair. Her glass doors closing behind her. Actually she kept all the glass from Comet’s days. She liked it, it gave transparency to things. There were no barriers like before in Mutiny.  Her six employees were all in the main hall with desks put in a circle. That way there was always communication, sharing ideas and obviously
 gossip.
She sighed.
A knock on the door.
“Can I come in?” It was Mike, her assistant. He was in his late 20s, tall with short brown hair and he always dressed way too formal for their laid back work environment.
“Sure.” He was already halfway in.
“You didn’t tell us you’re going to take some days off.” He started.
“Oh, that
 yeah, I wasn’t really planning it. Did anything important happen that I should know about?” She asked him as she sipped from her coffee.
“Well, Simon Cornwell called to discuss the new marketing strategy, a few calls - none of them of importance
 Oh, miss Emerson called Monday morning.” Mike answered as he looked at his notepad.
“Donna? Did she say anything?”
“To call her back. Also she said if you didn’t come to work that we shouldn’t disturb you and you’d probably show up soon
 Now we know what she meant.” He grinned and raised his brows meaningfully.
Cam gave him a look. “Not you too, Jerry is bad enough.”
Mike raised his hands defensively.  
“Hey, we’re all happy for you. I don’t think I ever saw you with someone or heard of you being in relationship. Honestly I thought you had no social life, with all this work and deadlines
 ”
“Well, thanks. I guess.” She turned on her computer. “Hey, did you fix the bug with-”
“Yes, we did.” He gave her a proud smile.
“You’re awesome.” She returned the smile. “Which reminds me, give this to Yuki on your way out,” she handed him a disk. “That’s the new upgrade, I finished it Saturday, it should run smoothly but she can double check it.”
When Mike opened the door to leave, Jerry popped his head inside with a grin on his chubby face, which now was red from all the laughing, his eyes glistening.
“Hey, boss
 I saw his Porsche! I didn’t see his face but he looked like a catch!”
“Don’t you have a job?!” Jesus, he was so annoying.
“I’m waiting for Nathaniel to finish the coding for the new features so that I can continue... and in the meantime
 When will we meet him?”
She sighed loudly.
“Probably soon.”
“Is he hot?” Jerry made a fanning motion with his hand.
“Out! Now!”
John Bosworth was a happy man. These days he enjoyed every minute of every day and grabbed with full hands of what life had to offer him. The married life was better than what he remembered from his first marriage, or maybe the person was better. He and Diane had clicked right away, they both knew what they wanted, had their priorities straight and were ready to find someone with whom to share life.
It wasn’t easy, but nothing in life ever is. Diane was strong and powerful woman and the fact that she did better in business than him hadn’t helped but at the end none of that mattered. It took a tragedy for them to realize that they had no time to waste and life was too short to worry over meaningless things. They had to enjoy every second of what they had left. So he stopped fighting to stay in the business and found pleasure in his retirement. Bos had a good life, not everyone got a second, a third and even a forth chance like Bos did. And along his journey he created connections with people he now was proud to call a family.
Bosworth was driving to Cameron’s house, he was singing along to Conway Twitty’s “Red neckin', love makin' night” and tapping with fingers on the steering wheel.
Well it's a red neckin', love makin' night You ain't had much 'til you been touched in the moonlight You feel it the most when you get real close and you hold on tight It's a red neckin', love makin' night It's a red neckin', love makin' night
Stars in your eyes, the wind in your hair Oh, what a down home love affair
Hell, he still missed Texas. All of the traveling in the last couple of years made him a little homesick, maybe he and Diane should visit his son soon

John finally arrived and parked his truck. What he saw next surprised him, right next to Cameron’s car was Joe’s shiny black Porsche. What was he doing here?  
Oh, well, past is always lurking behind us

Bos wasn’t expecting anyone to be home, he knew Cam must be at work, but that wasn’t a problem since she’d given him a key a long time ago. Last week she asked him for a favor and of course he agreed, that’s way he came.
He got out of the car and took his tool box from the trunk.
Bos knocked on the front door.
Joe opened.
Pause.
“John?” Macmillan was visibly surprised by the guest.
“Well, hell
 glad to see you too.”
“Um, yeah
 Cameron’s not here but if you want I can give her a call.”
“That’s alright, that’s alright. I didn’t expect her to be home. She asked me to take a look at the bathroom on the second floor, it kept drippin’ she said. ” Bos explained lifting his tool box.
“Oh.. come in then.” Joe stepped out of the way.
Bos made two steps inside and took a look around.
“Beer?” Joe asked, obviously not very comfortable with the whole situation. They saw each other at the dinner for the Haley’s birthday but never really had a chance to talk.
“Sure, sure.” Bos took of his jacket and watched as Joe opened the fridge. The younger man was wearing jeans and a loose white t-shirt. He looked
 at home. “So, you two
?”
“Ah, I guess
” Joe handed him the beer.
“Heh
” Bos shook his head. “I’d tell you I’m surprised but not really. Life has a funny way, you know, you think something’s over for good and then it turns back right at you and bites you on the ass. Didn’t take you long, did ya? ”
“It’s hard to live just with pictures and memories, John. It wasn’t easy for either of us
”
“I’m sure
 ” Bos gave him a look. “Listen, Joe, I know you and I know Cameron. Things with you are always complicated but you care for each other. I told you before, you’re a changed man. I know why you let her go, you didn’t want to hold her down, did ya? You wanted things but she looked in different direction, so you let her pursue her carrier. Now, I didn’t like the way you did it, because I know how hard it was for her, but I get it.”
“I wasn’t ready to
 not after
 I needed time
”
“Hey now, I know. It hard to stay and it’s hard to go, but you make choices and live with the consequences. It comes a time when all you can do is to hope it will get better and at the end you make compromises with yourself
 I’m glad you’re not a stranger, Joe.” Bos smiled and patted Joe on the back. They never were best buddies, but behind the tough mask Bosworth could recognize his good soul.
“Yeah, you want things but in chasing them you lose what you already have... It was hard to let go of the future that I wanted, that’s why I searched other ways to fulfill this
 need, but it was harder to live without her. So, you’re right, you learn to make compromises with yourself and put your needs aside and hope this time it will work out. And I’m not getting any younger so
” Joe said and clinked their bottles.
“I wouldn’t go that far. You both just needed time because back then you were at different places. Now
 it’s different. Time changes people and age has a way of tempering us all. So who knows
 maybe she’ll surprise you. ”
“I wouldn’t bet on that,” Joe gave a sad smile. “Cameron will always be Cameron, she’s a free spirit and I always loved and admired that about her. Maybe it was wrong of me to try and put her in a box
”
“Well, Joe, time will show. For now enjoy the present and deal with problems one at a time. You know what recursion is?” Bos asked as he put down his bottle on the kitchen table.
“Yeah
” Joe took his last sip of the beer.
“Great. But just so you know, I don’t care how much she loves you, if you hurt her again or force her into doing something that she doesn’t want, I’ll break your legs.” Bos patted his tool box. “Come on now, let me see that bathroom. I miss the old days when the water pipes used to be high quality, what they do now
My God!” he shook his head with disapproval.  
Bos started climbing the stairs. “You know anything about plumbing, Joe?”
“No, not really.”

The Ballroom Thieves & The Harmaleighs at Higher Ground 12.2.17
Tumblr media
This past Saturday was a night of favorites, new and old. I’ve been lucky enough to follow The Ballroom Thieves along for the past three years, since first catching them at Newport Folk Festival 2014. The Harmaleighs were a new find, but we fell hard and fast for the folk duo based out of Nashville, TN.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Haley Grant and Kaylee Jasperson started making music together as The Harmaleighs in 2013, and self-released their debut LP Pretty Picture, Dirty Brush in 2015. They spent the next nine months living out of a band on tour. That experience inspired their latest release Hiraeth. “Hiraeth” is a Welsh word with no direct English translation, but the sentiment is one that can be all too familiar. One way to describe it is as homesickness for a place that no longer exists, or perhaps never did. There are similar words in many other languages, a testament to the universality of the feeling. Nostalgia encompasses the heartsickness of missing a place or time that you can never go back to, but doesn’t quite get at missing a place that doesn’t exist. For a total word nerd like me—always searching for the exact right descriptor—“hiraeth” is up there with the handful of German words that seem to perfectly hit on a sentiment that we just don’t have. In fact, we’ve co-opted a few, including “zeitgeist” and “schadenfreude.” In any case, to get back to the actual topic, Haley and Kaylee had us hooked from the minute they hit the stage and their whole set just made their pull even stronger.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Haley has a gorgeously sharp but sweet voice, and Kaylee adds her voice to the mix creating perfect harmonies. Their music may strongly show their influences, but their inspirations are personal enough to make it stand on its own. Add to that their clear chemistry with each other and easy connection with their audience and it makes for a set well worth showing up early for. I’m always psyched to find new LGBTQ bands, and as I wrote this up I was reminded of Hannah & Maggie (having them quote my album review on their website still feels like one of the highlights of my writing “career”). Lo and behold, they showed up right next to each other on this list of “15 Lesbian, Bi and Queer Musical Artists You Need to Know.” It’s by no means a comprehensive list, but it’s a good starting point.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It’s been almost a year and a half since I last saw the Thieves, and it was a treat to get to hear what they’ve been up to in the meantime. This show sort of snuck up on me, but luckily I checked out the upcoming shows at Higher Ground in time to not miss the boat! They released their sophomore Deadeye last year and have an EP on the way so there was plenty of new material in their set, with lots of more familiar songs still mixed in. That upcoming EP will be released on Nettwerk Records, whose roster The Ballroom Thieves joined just a few months ago.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Supermoon seems to draw The Ballroom Thieves up to Burlington, with their show back in 2015 falling on the date of the Supermoon eclipse, and this one coming just one night before the first and only Supermoon of 2017. Back then, we got an intimate early take of “Sea Legs” huddled outside under the eclipse. Down in Fairfield, CT the next year they had added “Peregrine,” Callie’s “Trouble,” and a Martin solo as yet unnamed “Bees” to the mix. We also got an early take of Devin’s cover of Frightened Rabbit’s “My Backwards Walk,” which clearly is enough of a fan favorite to still be in rotation.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Even when Callie was a new addition to the band, the trio was solidly cohesive. That has only become truer with four more years under their belts. It’s been awesome to see Callie taking on more with writing and lead vocals, both of which she had no experience with prior to joining. Their latest release “Only Lonely” is one of hers, and it fits perfectly into their catalog while tackling the heaviness of depression. It’s clear how supportive these three are of each other, how much of a team (or pack, if you will) they are. Far from shying away from the difficulties that have come up in the past few years of touring, they have drawn inspiration from both the hardships directly as well as their battles against them. There’s always been a bit of wildness to The Ballroom Thieves, but they seem more comfortable with that aspect of their sound now. It’s not about perfection, but rather true expression. Instead of making “safer” choices as they’ve gone on, they’ve leaned into experimentation and pushing against boundaries.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Citing current events, Martin indicated that the band has been “pissed lately. Callie in particular.” Though they don’t usually go political, they felt that “when in fucked up Rome” it was time to write about the president. That manifested as the soon to be released “Do Something,” which we’ll be keeping an eye out for. Coming back for an encore the band came out into the audience, a move we’re glad to say is a fairly common one up here in Burlington. From the center of the Showcase Lounge came the always haunting “Bury Me Smiling,” followed by an all but a capella version of “Anybody Else.”
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Ballroom Thieves took their three day reprieve from touring as an opportunity to enjoy some local brews. Martin proposed getting a trade going of their new hometown Portland’s Maine Beer Company and The Alchemist...definitely a plan we could get behind. After the show, both bands stuck around to chat with fans and sign merch. While we love the cozy Showcase Lounge, we have a feeling these guys may be filling a larger venue the next time they come through town.
