Yay! I agree. I haven't had a chance to listen to the new CD yet, but their summer tour with Three5Human was excellent (though I'd prefer to see Girlyman open for them again). I've seen the Indigo Girls a lot over the years, and they were in top form this summer. I love it when people whose work I love love other people's work that I love!
Got five of their albums and saw them twice in concert. Makes sense that they bring Buffy DVDs along when traveling, since they probably wouldn't get as big a kick as the rest of us out of listening to Indigo Girls albums.
LOL, cityof! Great interview, Simon -- this writer really went in depth, really knew the history of the people being interviewed, very interesting! :-)
I like what Saliers says “You can’t even say why you love that show. It’s got a certain magic to it." That's so much the way I feel. I can't explain the power Buffy has over me. Yeah, the writings great, it's funny, it's witty, it's poignant. But there's more than that, that I can't explain, that I feel when I am watching it. It makes me feel like a part of its world in a way that's not like any other television show.
Also, note the Cibo Matto love. Cibo Matto were the band at the Bronze in "When She Was Bad." However, it probably says something about my age that the phrase "hybrid of trip-hop, rap, riot grrl and Bjork-inspired nonsense" is utterly meaningless to me. (I understand the allusion to Joni Mitchell though).
The Indigo Girls have been pleasing us geeks with their sweet syncopated harmonies since the hey-days of the dot- com era and 3D animation (I am the proud possessor of a vintage SGI-benefit CD-ROM). Of course, they'd be along for the ride with us on the firefly Serenity.

First/Cassie: I can see it now. Candlelight, the Indigo Girls playing, picture of your dead girlfriend on your bloody lap.
