This particular outing takes on Jethro Tull's "Aqualung," with such fare as a boot-scootin' linedance version of "Crosseyed Mary" and "Locomotive Breath" sung in nursery rhyme fashion by guest vocalist Peter Schilling.Troy Hickmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15163654062811571435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6649591714373684167.post-58482564229786342132008-01-30T03:47:00.000-05:002008-01-30T03:47:00.000-05:00Another one:Nothing Ever Happens On The Moon"Make ...Another one:<BR/><BR/>Nothing Ever Happens On The Moon<BR/><BR/>"Make Friends With Him"<BR/><BR/>http://www.flickr.com/photos/madcheeper/2217040152/<BR/><BR/>A genre-crossing <I>pastiche</I>-oriented collective band of nine members, all songs written by the lead guitarist and the vocalist, but credited to all members as a matter of philosophy -- the clever lyrics are always a subversive homage to the musical style they experiment with on each album. This one's the gentle bluegrass/poor country folk album, little in the way of drums, mostly recorded using found objects in an old log cabin in Appalachia, except for the final track "Bluebottle Blonde" which was recorded live (with two drummers and two electric guitars! three if you count the twelve-string) at the Grand Old Opry in Nashville -- that one's really a supercharged Western Swing song, but they stuck it in anyway. Previous records include the punk concept album "Barbed Wire Ball" (movie still stuck in development hell), twisted Sonny & Terry tribute "Backwards River" (from which their highest-charting single "Miami Limo" was drawn, with its famously unintelligible middle eight), and their wittiest yet least-acclaimed effort "Sports Bar Of The Damned", which featured all six instrumentalists on rhythm guitar, each one taking turns almost breaking into a lead guitar lick, but not quite. Reportedly working on double album named "Milixia" for the past four years, recent buzz among collegiate stoners has it that their final product will be <I>three vinyl discs</I>, with the second side of the third disc left blank. No longer with a major record label. Vocalist briefly dated Alexis Witt.<BR/><BR/>...<BR/><BR/>I felt my last effort was a bit understuffed, given your example. Hope this makes up for it.

It's really all about the <I>sound</I>, man...the idea is to use synth to create softer, organic textures...my buddy was screwing around with this for years at art school, and I'm the only one who ever really liked it, saw him at a house party one night and said "you know, what you're playing there -- that's jazz." He said: "I know!"<BR/><BR/>Anyway <B>I</B> think it's good. We've been invited to the Jazz Festival in Montreal next year, hope to see you there! Christ I'm glad to get away from playing rock, I did that for ten years, and it got really boring...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6649591714373684167.post-41831376453591896402008-01-29T12:13:00.000-05:002008-01-29T12:13:00.000-05:00SundoreonectesWould Hardly See AnybodyA new Indie ...Sundoreonectes<BR/><BR/>Would Hardly See Anybody<BR/><BR/>A new Indie pop phenom if I ever did see one.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01887726276928168854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6649591714373684167.post-56949258481117490672008-01-28T20:15:00.000-05:002008-01-28T20:15:00.000-05:00Fifth OfficialIn a humiliating way...sounds very a...Fifth Official<BR/>In a humiliating way<BR/><BR/>...sounds very authentic actually.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16107912572769487068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6649591714373684167.post-60805834474284295782008-01-28T16:11:00.000-05:002008-01-28T16:11:00.000-05:00I agree with rob.
