Well, that great BlackHawks win streak continues, despite me writing about it. I have written about the "Chelsea Dagger" song sung at home games. Now, about the group that made it. They are an indie Scottish band from Glasgow. Their first album was Costello Music, which had the "Chelsea Dagger" song.
Like the Ramones, they have adopted Fratelli names:
Jon Fratelli (John Lawler) lead guitar and lead vocals
Barry Fratelli (Barry Wallace), bass guitarist
Mince Fratelli (Gordon McRory) drummer
They took their group name from the criminal family in the movie "Goonies."
They released two albums: 2006's Costello Music and 2008's Here We Stand. The Costello Music album peaked at 48 in the U.S., but spent three weeks at #2 in the U.K.. In 2008, they went on indefinite hiatus, but got back together last year and plan to have an album out this year.
Great Group. --RoadDog

Why It Takes So Long to Do These Doggone Blogs
Take today for example. After writing earlier about the death of Paul Tanner and his electro-theramin instrument heard on the Beach Boys' "Good Vibrations," I got the urge to watch the video, so went to You Tube, always a mistake when it comes to time as one thing leads to another.
OK, I got the video up. By the way, Mike Love played the electro-theramin on stage. Well, of course, what's better than one Beach Boy performance? So then, there were many others, including "Surfer Girl," "California Girls," "Wendy" and "Little Deuce Coupe."
One mean thing You Tube does is put other things on the page that you might want to see. Well, that led to John Prine's "In Spite of Ourselves" with some of the funniest pictures I've ever seen. And then, "Let's Talk Dirty in Hawaiian."
Then, the Fratellis and about ten of their videos. I wrote about them yesterday in connection with the streak of the Chicago Blackhawks.
Then the Donald Duck "Window Washer" cartoon which, wost of all led to "A Christmas Story." My favorite-ever Christmas movie. This one really took a lot of time. I started with "A Christmas Story: The Documentary" where two fans go to the grand-opening of the house in Cleveland and visit a lot of the filming sites.
Then there were two parts of Behind the Scenes :The Christmas Story Parts 1 and 2. And then "A Christmas Story Cast Reunion" on the Voice.
