I realized that legally I wasn't supposed to have an image of the Menomena/Craig Thompson e-card linked on my blog, because at least as far as I know it's a copyrighted image. So, I went to Flickr and searched for Creative Commons licensed images and found these great ones of the live shows they had in Europe with Thompson painting live at the back of the stage.

Also, you know what I dislike? When you learn about a band right after they've toured through your city. I find that happens all too often.

P.S. The text with info about the photographer isn't showing up for some reason... click on the top image to go to his Flickr account. He has a lot of great band photos.

Music

I don't actively seek out new music, mostly because once I like something I have to have it all and am broke from buying CDs, but it's always great when I come across something that I enjoy. I recently was introduced to the music of Menomena through some sort of searching around the web looking at art and getting info from one music label and then finding another and getting their emails and so on and so forth. I just received an email with a link to this video of Menomena playing on the street in France and it is the best music video ever.

Please, please, go watch it.
The website is in French, but all you need to know is you will hear lovely melodies and see adorable children.

Also, their amazing e-card features the artwork of artist, cartoonist, graphic-novelist Craig Thompson alongside their music. It's all pretty neat and should be looked at by you.

Now I just need to go buy their CD.
