Oh hey, tina, I downloaded two CYHSY songs on your recommendation. I like the music a lot, but I'm not sure about the singer's voice. But it's certainly dang hooky, which is a point in its favor.
Buffy: Synchronized slaying. Faith: New Olympic category?
'Conversations with Dead People'
Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Neither was I - but it grows on you. And the hooks - like CRACK they are. The best song on the album, imo, is not on their site for download. It's called "The Skin of My Yellow Country Teeth" and I think the album is it worth it just for that. I've had to take a break from it though, I was overlistening. (because - crack!)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
But, I then I downloaded Magnolia Electric Co.'s What Comes After the Blues (not realizing it was the same guy) which I like much better. It's a full band and his voice sounds much more confident. It's much more country-rock than other stuff I've heard of his. Still very Neil Young-esque but not so boring.
I've never listened to any Neil Young, but "Farewell Transmission" is off the Songs: Ohia album...Magnolia Electric Co. It's with a full band; I think you'd like it. At least that song, can't say anything about the rest of the album.

If you ever see After the Gold Rush or Everybody Knows This is Nowhere in a sale bin and feel like experimenting, they are great places to start and worth every nickle.
but "Farewell Transmission" is off the Songs: Ohia album...Magnolia Electric Co.
I am adding it to my emusic waiting list this moment.

Or Rust Never Sleeps or Zuma, which are also heartstoppingly great NY albums.

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah. And see, I was TRYING to save myself the time of typing it.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Heh, I just got the e-mail mentioning that from the Pernice Brothers list. Pretty neat.

The Pernice Brothers are psyched.
And they gave me a new tagline.
- twirls, preens*
(For the record, it is: "There is no love triangle, love rhombus, nor love trapezoid. There is only love.")
