OMG so many things. Where do you "stand" on the Cranberries, personally? I need to know before I share more.
Also, my next set of glasses will be those red Sally Jesses on the woman talking on the dictaphone in that Baby Boom clip. I don't know if I've actually seen Baby Boom...but I know without looking that every one of those fictional women has, at some time, put on white sneakers with those business suits and trucked it around NYC. It's sort of my worst nightmare, this look (and everyone's?) but what IS a modern woman to do?
She's awkward, right? I think it's something that happens with these "Tiny Desk Concerts." Since the bands perform in such a small space, they are sooo close to the audience, which can be like 15 people, and I think it throws them a bit. Or maybe that's how she always is?? Point being, I LOVED hearing these songs again.
I am SO glad you brought up the awkwardness of something called "Tiny Desk." Please allow my obsessions with Wilco to runneth over...The only other Tiny Desk concert I have seen was these guys and, like everything else they do, they make it look So Damn Easy! Never mind that Tweedy looks JUST LIKE a lion the day after a bender. (For the curious: http://www.npr.org/event/music/141331825/wilco-tiny-desk-concert)
My brother forever ruined the Cranberries' famous song for me by making that line "Do you have to let it linger" about SBDs (Silent But Deadlies). When she is up there waving her finger around, all I can think of is Homer Simpson telling Bart to pull his finger, and other fart jokes of my past. And, simultaneously, how touching it is that they are nervous and awkward. Like, oh good, everyone else is human too!
It's probably bad to prosper from other people's shortcomings like this...should I work on this?

DeleteHahahaha.
ReplyDeleteWhy can't the singer for the Cranberries stop waving her pointer finger? So gross!
