Ruler of Everything - by Tally Hall

Tim's song of the day: Ruler of Everything - by Tally Hall.  Fun song by a fun, unique band.
Tally Hall is based in Ann Arbor, Michigan.  They formed in 2002 and released a demo album, 2 EP's and an LP (not in that order), & then they released a final version of "Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum" on Atlantic Records, on April 1st, 2008.  They have a new record "Good & Evil" set to release this year, too.  Keyboardist & vocalist Andrew Horowitz "won the John Lennon Songwriters Award once for 'Good Day' and was nominated for 'Just Apathy'".  They've also had songs featured on a couple of different shows including The O.C.; one person also auditioned for American Idol using with their song "Banana Man" (they didn't get through, though...).  "Ruler of Everything" is from "MMMM".
