Under The Cover

...To know me is hardly wonder.

That line from Band of Horses "The Funeral" has always stuck in my head, beside the beautiful "ooohs" at the beginning of the song I always found that line to be particularly poignant and heart felt.

Serena Ryder & The Beauties have done a pretty faithful, although minimalist, cover of that song. She doesn't necessarily add to the beautiful sadness of the song. But, she does give it her own little spin.

Band of Horses In Studio--Soonish

It's weird that I saw this article this afternoon because I was just wondering about a new BoH album this weekend as I dominated on Madden '08. As I listened to Everything All The Time this past weekend my mind drifted away wondering when BoH would release a new record. I thought about when their last album came out, then did a little math and hoped it might come out next year (and I gave up a long pass since I wasn't paying attention to the game). Well, it looks like it might

The band will start recording material for their third album toward the end of the month Muscle Shoals Sound Studio in Alabama. Roll tide! That is the studio where the Rollings Stones made some of their best music: Brown Sugar, Sticky Fingers and Wild Horses. Wilson Pickett also recorded there, Paul Simon, the great Etta James and others. I'm hoping the sessions will produce a better album that Cease To Begin. I liked the album, just not as much as Everything All The Time. (Rock Daily)

Band of Horses Playing The Bridge School Benefit

Band of Horses will be performing at the Bridge School Benefit show.  While it's true the show is in San Francisco and no where near The D.  But, I'm an obsessive bootleg collector and I'm sure there will be one surfacing of this show soon-ish after the show.  So, that being said--as soon as I find it I'll hip you to it as well.  

In the mean time, enjoy...
