Tilly & The Wall bring smiles

Well, it's been mighty long since I posted anything here. I did get married, go on a honeymoon and find out that I'm having a little girl, so I think I can be excused.

I would also, in the interest of keeping this blog active, like to broaden the topics we cover here. Look for music and more politics, as well as all sorts of other items like urban planning, food, technology and whoknows.

In terms of music, Tilly and the Wall have been bringing me the smiles lately. They have an exuberant, pop-centric thing happening that is reedy and ultra-earnest. More uniquely, they use marching band figures and melodies seemingly stolen from some forgotten high school musical - like I said, smiles. These guys would go great on a bill with the New Pornographers...
