It is always a pleasure to spread some good news, and this is pretty darn cool. My friends over in the punky power pop trio, Frankenpony, will have their Happy Birthday song aired on the ABC show Help Me Help You starring Ted Danson. The show will air Tuesday, December 12, 2006, at 8:30 central time.
Happy Birthday is a track from their newest CD, Hideous Creatures, which I reviewed here on 100yearpicnic.com. They also have a cool feature on their website that makes it easy for you to send an online birthday card with the song.
Be sure to tune in to hear the local boys on the TV, and send them a note to celebrate their big news!!!
Greetings and Happy Holidays!! I just had to comment when I saw that Rick Bennett's Frankenpony site points to you and your site points to him!! Showin' each other the love. Rick and I have the same CM; I don't know him very well, but he's always been super nice! It's so wonderful to be surrounded by musicians/creative folk at the Farm--what an outlet. Me, I just turn to pretzel Combos with cheddar cheese. ;)
Since you're among the hippest people in the city, I just thought I'd see if you were familiar with artists like Vienna Teng, Embrace, Rachel Yamagata, Damien Rice, Joshua Radin, and my recent personal fave, Ray LaMontagne? Not that they hold a candle to 100 Year Picnic, but a girl has to have options. ;) Granted--I was made aware of most of that list via Zach Braff's soundtracks; I have to find out somehow!! ha My own take is that they all rock.
Take care--hope you and your family have great holidays!!

Hi Natalie, I recognize some of those artists, but don't have any of their stuff. Guess I need to spring for the garden state soundtrack. I think Zach needs to add a little 100YP into his next movie, now that would be fun. Have a great holiday, Jeff
