Boy! I'm feeling productive today!

I usually only post once in a great while. This, I believe, is the first time that I'll be posting two in the same day!

The reason for the second posting today is that there are a couple of blogs that I read during work breaks. One of those blogs led me to a personal friend of the bloggers blog that I read regularly. The blogger had posted about a Zellers commercial (according to that blogger 'awesom oh', Zellers is a cheap Target rip-off). The commercial had a diddy in it that called to 'awesom oh'. 'awesom oh' had to find out who sang it and what song it was. The song is by The Be Good Tanyas. I myself never heard of them, but the blogger posted a link to the original video for the song (not the commercial). I must say, the blogger was right. It's very fun and addicting.

Now this brings me to another obscure band. Trailer Bride (Bloodshot Records).

Trailer Bride plays what I call Alternative Country. Please, don't get me wrong. I'm not a big fan of country music. But Trailer Bride is VERY different. My favorite album is Smelling Salts. My favorite song in the album is Graveyard.

You may recall a show on Fox called Freaky Links. One episode dealt with the ghost of a girl that would possess a pregnant woman who would play at her piano at some superhuman speed. At first everybody thought it was an original song. But the shows star (lets call him Dave) took a recording of what the pregnant lady was playing to an audio expert. Turns out after the expert analyzed the recording, that the tune wasn't one song. It was a medley of several classical songs from Mozart, Bach, Vivaldi . . .

After some investigating, Dave found out there was a high school girl who happened to be a piano prodigy who would play that same medley as a finale of her recitals. She had been expected to go to Julliard, but had disappeared from the face of the planet.

After receiving some clues from that girls ghost(lets call her Ann), they found out where the accident occured. They also found out Ann had been pregnant. Initially Dave thought the boyfriend had done it. But when they found him, he was so emotionally drained that they figured that he couldn't have done it. He had been despairing all this time over the loss of his soul-mate, Ann. Dave visits the mother a couple of times during the show. That's how Dave found out she was supposed to go to Julliard. The mother was very proud of her daughter and her abilities.

Well to get to the short of it, Dave finds out the mother did it. The girl hadn't wanted to go to Julliard. She had found her soul-mate and wanted to live the rest of her life with him and her baby. The mother was so upset at Ann being pregnant and what her daughter was giving up that she picked up the nearest thing at hand and smashed it up against her daughters head (the object she picked up happened to be a trophy the daughter had won in an International piano competition). The mother then took Anns body to an old gas station that was being rebuilt and dumped her daughter in an old empty oil tank and closed the lid.

The mother had thought Ann was dead. But Ann had woke up in a dark container. She was so horribly injured and had lost so much blood that she didn't have the strength to get up, let alone get out of the tank. And the worst part about it was that people were working right next to the tank, but Ann couldn't be heard because she was IN a tank. It took her days to finally die.

When they told the mother what they found out had happened, the mother was completely devastated. She had killed her daughter in a state of rage. But she didn't know that it had taken so long for her daughter to die.

In steps in Trailer Brides' Graveyard. OH! MY! GOD!!!

With that song and what had occurred, I got totally and thoroughly choked up. I almost started blubbering. That song made the episode. It finished it. I became a HUGE fan of that show after that episode and I was upset when they cancelled it. Duh! I should've realized that was gonna happen. It's Fox!

Trailer Bride. GET IT!!!
