jere7myHas anyone heard of the band The Actual Tigers? I finally got results from the iTunes music recommendation service (some guy's senior project; it compares your song ratings to other users' and generates recommendations...slowly). They hold the #3 and #4 positions in my suggestions, but I've never heard of them.
The program also recommended the Aquabats, and I already bought one of their CDs used (The Fury of the Aquabats). They're a lot like Man...or Astro-Man? in that they have wacky superhero personae (like the Baron von Tito and Super Kyu) and play ska-rock that may have been inspired by Hanna-Barbera (with titles like Lobster Bucket and Captain Hampton and the Midget Pirates). Their lunacy is not as inspired as MoAM's, but their songs have more lyrics; I think I'm pleased.
