Michael Upchurch of Seattle Times says "You'll have fun at this show." I wholeheartedly agree, though I might be just a wee bit biased since I've been live-tweeting for them all season. Then again, if I didn't like the show, I wouldn't still be running Radio8Ball's Twitter for them, now would I?Check Upchurch's article for a good explanation of the show, but the one I nicked off the Radio8Ball Blog works too: it's the show "where questions are answered by picking songs at random and interpreting them like musical tarot cards". It's also group therapy, intentional/unintentional comedy, really New-Agey meaning-making and a really intimate acoustic basement show all rolled into one. It's not for everyone (especially if you're allergic to words like "synchronicity" or "feelings"), but if you're into it after one show, you're hooked.
I certainly am, anyway. And now so is my S.O. after I towed him along to celebrate my upcoming birthday and got my question picked(!) - "Question #5 (me!) How can I help my S.O. realize his dreams? Song answer: Say you love me [by Jenny Jenkins]". It was really the cutest damn thing ever. If you really feel like reading how that particular musical question & answer went, backwards, see below. I gotta warn you, it's pretty mushy.
(happy birthday to me!)
John sez: I love you too - you are my dream.
I say: I love you John Sepulveda!
Andras sez that sometimes all you need is to realize your dreams and get thru life is someone who believes in you and loves you
trying to understand her S.O.'s language of love
Jenny sez that this song is about
I dont' know much about being stable/ but thanks for cleaning up after me /sorry I'm not making any money
When you're gone I go neurotic/ now you're back it feels exotic about
Question #5 (me!) How can I help my SO realize his dreams? Answer: Say you love me
