Pick O' the Week : Raspuntina

Ok.
Can I get one thing off my chest? I've always had a thing for stringed instruments. Be it violin, viola, cello, or (omg) upright bass, I just can't get enough of that lovely resonance. It may come as no surprise then, that my pick of the week, and recurrent favorite, is Rasputina.













I love the way that they combine a slightly gothic and historic musical aesthetic with dark and clever lyrics. They have a website, if you find yourself intrigued: http://www.rasputina.com/contents.html.


You can check out a recently released live recording of their song "Rats" on their myspace page: http://www.myspace.com/rasputina. I hope they keep rocking the "mystikally celloriffic" cello rock and next time they play in North Hampton or NYC I'm going even if no one wants to come with me.

So there. Naaah.
