2006-10-02 - 8:48 p.m. Spinach may have let us down, but here's some good news about habenero peppers! How to describe Life in a Blender, or more accurately, their significance to me and my people? Personally speaking, they were playing in the background during several key moments in my life, and possess a certain New York-in-the-1990s musical sensibility that seems to encompass many aspects of what I value in music: melody, lyrical absurdity that nevertheless makes emotional sense (hi, GbV, Robyn H.), rockitude, chops, and a lead singer whose stage banter is as good as his singing. Life in a Blender, I decided when I saw them this weekend, are the one thing I (and you) can count on in this ever-changing world of ours. Do people even know of this band outside of NYC?
