The Weepies - World Spins Madly On

You know how sometimes you hear a bunch of songs you dig, and upon further research, they turn out to be from the same artist? That's what's happening with me and The Weepies lately. A husband-and-wife indie folk-pop duo, maybe they just have a good publicist, but listen and judge for yourself.

First, I heard their song "Can't Go Back Now" played over the final scene of the movie Adam, a film about a guy my age-ish that has Asperger's syndrome. Just a few days ago on Reddit (my 2010-present internet addiction), I ran across this gem of an animated video, set to the tune of their hit "World Spins Madly On", linked above.

And I just found out, thanks to a nifty link on YouTube, that they're playing in Boulder toward the end of the summer. I just might have to drop by. I haven't been to a show in years.
