EDIT Got the video back up. Hopefully it'll not be taken down by the voodootube again. Getting my life in order. I almost wrote "odder" which is actually what it feels like right now. But, I had to come back because I saw this video: I love the album, "Cease To Begin". It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside, like one of those beards those mofos are sporting. And like fake bottlesmashing, too. OK, wish me luck on returning to life.

Back in March, I had the chance to attend a concert at my favorite local music venue, The Showroom, for a regional musician named Tyler Ramsey, who hails from Asheville, NC, which is about an hour away from where I currently reside. I posted about Tyler here in June, but learned recently that he is now touring in support of and as part of the lineup of the South Carolina-based indie rock group, Band of Horses. Here's an article from HARP Magazine about his joining th... MORE

. . Ten? Who says ten? Here's my Top Eleven of 2007... In alphabetical order... Let's start it off with... . . . BAND OF HORSES - Cease to Begin Another band gives birth to great second album... No sophmore slump anywhere in sight... ...and how can you not like a band that has a song called "Detlef Schrempf" The emergence of Band of Horses makes the loss of Grandaddy a bit easier to take... .... Here's the crazy great rocker "Is There A Ghost"(click above)...

I am feeling sappy and sentimental, and as such I am reading and writing.  I will spare you the details of both and instead offer a song that is kind of sappy, if you are in a sappy mood when you listen to it...  It has been on repeat here since the debate ended.  I keep sucking down vodka drinks, but they are no cure for sentimentality. There is a relationship here that is not entirely tangential, but I refuse to explain it.  Suffice it to say that silent Mogger nevafe... MORE

Recently, Band Of Horses were approached by Wal-Mart for a licensing deal which would incorporate one of their songs in what would be a net-based ad campaign for the department store chain. But fans found out about the deal and were furious. "My personal stance," band-leader Ben Bridwell wrote in response to the furious fans, "is that once that music is recorded and released to the world then I don't really care where it goes." But then there was a change of heart. ... MORE

We went to see Band of Horses this past weekend at The Palladium in Dallas. I don't feel like writing a lengthy review, but the show was great overall. It's a good thing we saw them when we did, because they have recently had to cancel a few dates (according to their MySpace page). We were upset that they didn't play 'I Go to the Barn...', but they played the snot out of 'The Great Salt Lake' among others. I don't think Cass McCombs and his band was very good live, desp...

It's just recently that I've come across Band of Horses, but I can't thank my friend enough for encouraging me to take a listen. I'll just keep it simple. This song pulls me in with soothing tones and puts me completely at peace. Like a mother holding you close and singing you to sleep. Then it kicks it into full gear and rocks. Then lulls you back to sleep the same way it brought you in. Enjoy.

Saw these guys at The Hi-Tone here in Memphis and it was by far one of the best live performances I've seen. This band is unbelievable and I can't wait to see what they come out with next.
