Here are four things The Rationales had me thinking about after their recent set at Cuisine en Locale:

• Just because everyone always says it doesn’t mean we shouldn’t say it more: The Rationales have some fantastic songs.
• Dave Mirabella commenting that bandmate Chad Raleigh dressed as Han Solo AND Chewbacca was the best of the many Star Wars references in the ballroom that evening.
• The Rationales covered a Wilco song for the first time!^* Picking my favorite, “I’m Always In Love,” was a wise decision.
• Speaking of decisions, sometimes bad ones are good ones. Just look at the “Drunk!” crowd-participation backing vocals encouraged on “Drunk All The Time.” Terrible decision. Wonderful outcome.

^* Shocking!
