Jonathan Richman ~ When Harpo played his Harp

Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers performing "When Harpo played his Harp" live in Toronto ~ circa 1987


Well when Harpo played his harp, it was a mystery
All the laughing stopped back to the balcony
Chico, Chico, sure to please
Now let's watch him shoot the keys
When Harpo would play his harp, all was still ....

Horse Feathers - Thistled Spring

April 20 will see the release of the third album from Portland, Oregon's very own Horse Feathers. This will be their second album released on Kill Rock Stars, following on from 2008's excellent "House With No Home". This album also sees the first from the band that doesn't feature Peter Broderick. Horse Feathers lineup is now songwriter and lead man Justin Ringle, violinist Nathan Crockett, cellist Catherine Odell and multi-instrumentalist Sam Cooper. "Thistled Spring" contains ten tracks and is definitely an album that I am looking forward to hearing upon its release.
