The Great Picture Show, indeed

I had something to say, I swear. But as of now I have forgotten just what that was.

So instead, I shall share with you a musical artist, and maybe even make a weekly tradition of it, or something. It could be like Music Monday, but with not as easy alliteration (say, "Tunable Tuesday," "Symphonic Saturday," "Singing Sunday," "Thespian Thursday?"). In any case, I have lots of favorite musicians, so it makes sense for me to share them with you, I think. Music's fun.

This week's person is probably my favorite discovery this semester. Her band's name is April Smith and the Great Picture Show.

April Smith writes songs
With both proper grammar and
Some witticisms

Her tunes are not only amazingly catchy, but also reflect proper grammar usage (something I always love) and a number of funny and/or clever moments. For instance, she says "who's spinning whom now," which is the correct context for whom, and it works in the song. Then she has a number of comical moments to be found, such as "Is there anything going on in that pretty little head? Because if you're just drop dead gorgeous, you can just drop dead" or "so if you ever wonder if I'm dreaming of you in the night at my window, by the light of the moon. If you ever wonder if I'm dreaming of you- bitch, please- I've got better things to do." Overall, she's a genius when it comes to writing music and lyrics, and that talent carries on to her performance.

Here's perhaps my favorite song by her: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQohpZ2pVus&feature=related&feature=fvw (though there are about 6 others I absolutely adore, some of which are "Stop Wondering," "Wow and Flutter," or "Movie Loves a Screen").
