There are lots of great reviews out there of Gob Iron, the collaboration between Anders Parker of Varnaline and Jay Farrar of Uncle Tupelo and Son Volt, so I won't bore you with an album review. I saw them live in San Francisco, and it was haunting. They kept commenting that the audience was quiet. And then they'd play another spine-chilling song about death.
I guess the silence was respect for the dead, or fear of ghosts.
Here's a little video of instrumentals from the album set to pretty pictures
This in honor of my trip to Maui tomorrow (and of course, all respect to Iz).
When we were dating, my wife played me this song. I scoffed at first, but after a few listens, it becomes haunting.
Ben Folds Five-esque offering from Piebald, with some crunchy guitar for good measure and punkification. Piebald makes me think of bands my friends might be in and the kind of band I'd have fun with. People in piebald songs have deep thoughts and shallow thoughts, ride bicycles, make mistakes, wear slippers, etc. They're stories about real people performed by what sound like real people. Their earlier album We are the Only Friends We Have was better - more fast paced and less noodly. But I like this song, and not just because of the name.
This is a picture of a piebald, not of Piebald.

should they be used to mum audiences by now, with such somber themes?
