is it just me?

·

While I've been writing I've been listening to this Band of Horses album, Cease to Begin.  It's not a "new" album, but it's new to me.

I'm struck by how much I like it more than their first album.  I'm not sure if that is because I was unfamiliar with their music before and had to get used to it on the first take OR if the newer album is just a lot more accessible.

I realize, of course, that only a handful of you readers would have ANY opinion on this at all.  Truth be told, I just needed an excuse to take a "writing" break, by writing…hmmmmm.

    agreed…but i still like “everything…” a lot. BoH has been among my tops lately…with cloud cult, my morning jacket, and spiro…3 of 4 of those are finch tips.

    yeah I don’t really LOVE BoH’s “everything…” and I think it’s because it reminds me of my morning jacket whom I have had to kind of ease my way into liking. i like them, but i don’t love’em.

    strangely enough, i’ve been listening to a lot of alt country lately.

    wilco, uncle tupelo, ryan adams, the jayhawks, drive-by truckers, sun kil moon, the wailing jennys, rocky votolato etc. it must be my kentucky roots coming out or something because i really hate mainstream country music.

    couldn’t get into cloud cult though. that’s probably my least favorite album you gifted to me for my b-day. but i was grateful for it. and you know me; i’ll probably really like them in a year or two.
