Astronaut Wife is so catchy it’s making me sick! I’ve had one of their songs stuck in my head for about three days straight now, and unlike some catchy tunes, listening to it hasn’t helped alleviate the problem. In fact, I accidentally put the track on repeat on my way home yesterday (Laura finally bought me that mp3 playing CD player she promised for my birthday, so I’m still learning how to work it.) and it was almost 3 times through before I noticed!
They’ve got a new CD coming out, and I suppose I’ll have to buy it. They’re not even listed at allmusic.com, and I’ve only heard of them because I got a free ticket to their upcoming show at first ave when I went to see Lali Puna. I brought the ticket (with a few others) to juggling, and offered them to a few friends. My friend Jay seemed ecstatic that I was really giving that ticket away, and claimed he’d paid over a hundred dollars to see them last time. (which seems odd, because they’re basically this no-name techno band out of minneapolis, but he is an international traveler, so maybe he had to fly back for the show or something.) Anyway, Jay made me a mix-cd in exchange for the ticket, and that’s what I’ve been listening to for about a week now. I’m excited to see the show, and even more excited for the new CD!
My friend Amy Turany used to be in Astronaut Wife. But she quit last year. I haven’t listened to them since then. ‘Til tonight. Not bad. Plus they’re all hot.
Hey, that’s a plus for any band. I am even more excited for the concert now… Anyone wanna go? Friday the 20th , and tix are only $6 in advance!!!
Woah… so is Amy Turany now Amy Jennings? Did they get married? A little web surfing, and connections are crazy cross-fading song lyrics. My friend jay (who turned me on to Astronaut Wife) is opening for Mason Jennings tomorrow at first-ave… I’d really like to go, but when was the last time I got out of work by 5!?
I haven’t seen Amy in about 8 months. We had dinner and she talked about the small wedding they were gonna have. So if they had it – it was so small I didn’t even know. Did they? I hope so. I think they are both awesome humans.
