the be good tanyas

while watching something stupid on tv the other day, a commercial for an album by some band came on. the ad itself wasn't all that exciting, but the music really caught my attention, as did the name of the band. of course, being the web-enabled geek i wish i was, i went in search of a website for them. there i found some samples of their songs and tried to figure out how to convert the real audio files to mp3 so that i could have them for free. that's about the time i decided to read their bio page and i discovered that i used to know one of the members of this band back in highschool. sam parton, and her twin sister erin, used to work at the same mcdonald's i did. i even had a brief crush on their brother, rob. what a tiny little world! at that moment i realized i couldn't steal their music, as i was planning to. i went to the nettwerk records site (to avoid receiving the nasty emi copy protected version) and immediately ordered myself their latest cd. it should arrive sometime this week, if all goes well. i can't wait. neither should you. hurry up and go get yourself some of the be good tanyas! p.s. sam's hair in the photo of her on the bio page is pretty much how i'm hoping to get mine cut in the near future.
