This Boston-based duo is my favorite punk cabaret band. (Well, there aren’t many others, far as I know.) Night Reconnaissance (language warning) is not my favorite track from them. But it is a song about stealing lawn ornaments.
For beginners, best to check out their session on KCRW’s Morning Becomes Eclectic before working up to their concert performances. (War Pigs is a favorite.) Find more videos on their very cool website.
This cracked me up. I have a friend who should see this. Her gnome was Kidnapped. She has been sent pictures of her gnome with tape across its eyes and mouth dangling from the bridge here in town. Ransom was demanded. tee hee…
Coin Operated Boy does it for me, though I don’t have one, just a wife and two boisterous cats who eat coins (the cats). Oh this comment is just terrible….
