Fun Facts: My mom's favorite movie back in the day.

So, the new episode of The BookMarks (our new improv comedy about two friends who review fake books) talks about this fictional book series called Kitty and The Pegasi which is like Nancy Drew if Nancy, George, and Bess were all magical girls who were also in a band and time travelled sometimes.

Anyhow, it got me thinking, about fictional bands and their rankings and I think I've come up with a pretty good list

The Hex Girls:

Truly the band of bands. Not only were they spooky, but they also had a color scheme and, frankly, that goes a long way. I would be remiss to mention that they also were quite a few people's queer awakenings and their songs are straight bangers.

2. Dr. Teeth And The Electric Mayhem

Now, I don't think I've ever heard an actual song from this band but that just goes to show how awesome they are. Without a single track, they have wormed their way into my heart. Also, someone needs to share Animal's hair routine.

3. The Dreamettes (a.k.a Deena Jones and The Dreams)

So, this is less of a "band" and more of a group, but their entire discography is something to behold. This goes a little further down the list because their career is essentially a play-by-play of the Supremes (no matter how much the original creators deny it) but that does not detract from the fact that almost every song they sung on The Dreamgirls album is fantastic.

4. The Five Heartbeats

If you're anything like me this movie and the band were so good that you didn't even know they were fictional! This also goes a little lower on the list because it is a clear play-by-play of the real-life Temptations (still one of the best groups to this day!) but I don't think you can find a single person whose seen this movie who doesn't absolutely melt when the five start to sing and dance.

5. The last band on my list is The School of Rock. These kids could Jam! Also they had a robust stage crew and manager and that just gets you extra points in my book. When I was a kid I legit wanted to see them in concert which is wild cause that wasn't even a thing you could do! Definitely up there for me personally.

Who's on your list?

Heartbeats, Municipal and Otherwise - 29 March 2021

Heartbeats, Municipal and Otherwise – 29 March 2021

Today’s Inspiration: Listening to a group on Clubhouse where Robert Townsend and others involved in the movie The Five Heartbeats gave an oral history of it. Today’s joy: Meeting with my creativity circle.  Talking about the joys and the challenges we’re facing.  It felt good to get some things off of my chest with others who are actively working and doing their thing, too. A past joy: This…
