Apparently, the Dresden Dolls aren't salad music (according to resident music destroyer, my wife). It's in the mid sixties, end of November, the windows are open, salad sprinkled with chicken is about to be eaten and the Dresden Dolls (8 ft. Records, 2003) aren't cutting it. I will add that Coin Operated Boy gets an add to the "Must Have Singles" list.
Their piano/drum drag show is impressive, sounding as if there's at least three people in the band. Perhaps best suited for darkness, wallowing and those learning to waltz while drunk.
A switch to "Ladies Sing the Blues" (Academy Sound and Vision, 1992) didn't get the approval rating up either with Destroyer of All the is Music. Adelaide Hall's "The Blues I Love to Sing" started the show off a little, well, off, but Mildred Bailey, Una Mae Carlisle, Lizzie Miles and more got the atmosphere rolling. The breeze cut through the room, a light rain began to fall and autumn wrapped her chilly arms around me.
The boy wanted to go out front AND out back to collect more leaves, despite already owning a fortune in multicolored ones on the side porch. Apparently they are rather valuable to him. The rain kept up and here we sit as the ladies sing the blues.
Oh, wait, according to the boy, the rain has stopped. Maybe the park is not out of sight!
