"I find myself more and more attracted to toilets that flush with only a light push."

words to live by.

The Boston Globe HAL-9000 not invited By Jim Sullivan, Globe Staff, 2/23/2004 "Quirky" is an overused term in rock criticism and can be interpreted favorably or negatively. In the case of the Los Angeles-based quintet Ima Robot (right), it's meant in the most positive sense. First, they're not the offspring of Kraftwerk and Grace Jones; hence, they're not particularly robotic. What they are are busy little glam rock/ ADVERTISEMENT new wave beavers with riffs and vocals buzzing every which way, reminiscent of Sparks, Devo, David Bowie, Roxy Music, and Human Sexual Response, to name just a few. They're clever, danceable, and melodic. You can hear all of that on their self-titled CD. The guitarist goes by the name Timmy the Terror. Ima Robot includes Beck's rhythm section, bassist Justin Meldal-Johnson and drummer Joey Waronker. Their singer, Alex Ebert, has described his fears and joys this way: "I'm inspired by and haunted by ceilings" and "I find myself more and more attracted to toilets that flush with only a light push." Making this an even cooler bill are tourmates the Sounds and Kill Hannah. It's at Axis, starts at 7 p.m., is for all ages, and costs $13.13 Lansdowne St., 617-262-2437.

People people! Do your research! Joey is no longer with the band! It's been quite a while now..I would think people would know this by now..

That sarcasm of yours is always good for a giggle. Be sure to let us know if you start getting U2Us from people who want to explain about Joey leaving to you!

...Yeah and I Protest! That critic thought he was being witty with a title like that, but the HAL-9000 was NOT a Robot!! JEZ how cheesy can you be!!! Bleah.

Yeah HAL-9000 was a computer!

You know when you increment each letter in HAL-9000 upwards by one (using the english alphabet) (I feel the need to be perfectly clear about that) you get IBM-9000.

O.K. I'm sure everyone knows that. I just always thought that was pretty cool of Arthur C. Clarke.
