They play a tasty mix of alt-country, bluegrass, folk and jamband. If they were a food they'd be meatloaf (speaking of which, my girlfriend just dedicated some space to this misunderstood and underappreciated food here: <a href="http://meetloaferie.blogspot.com/">the Meetloaferie - where people come to meet and loaf!</a>).<br /><br />They play a tune that is the lovechild of Eyes of the World, called "Music's Only Outlaw." Led by Blake Christiana's kickass vocals (sweeter than Lyle Lovett) and Andrew Hendryx's sick electric mando skills, this tune has been stuck in my head for the last couple of weeks...<br /><a href="http://www.archive.org/download/Yarn2007-06-25.SBD/Yarn2007-06-25d1t03_vbr.mp3"><br />Music's Only Outlaw - Live from Kenny's Castaways - NYC 6/25/07</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3426612232558868840-7311459409025857894?l=listentothemusicplay.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Matt Whttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03629376223408816387noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3426612232558868840.post-74448285820153627092008-02-24T11:11:00.000-08:002008-02-24T15:44:42.383-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.mergerecords.com/images/bands/she_autumn.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://www.mergerecords.com/images/bands/she_autumn.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Who knew she could sing too? Overlooking her duet with Will Ferrell in Elf, I had no clue that Zooey Deschanel could do anything other than play the misunderstood waifish "every-girl" in indie movies (once again, Elf aside). Well, I recently heard the single from her debut effort with M. Ward - She &amp; Him: Volume 1. Based on what I've heard, I cannot wait for Volume 2. Her voice and sound is a complete throwback (without sounding like karaoke night) to Joni Mitchell and the Zombies.<br /><br />I haven't stopped listening to this since I found it here:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mergerecords.com/audio/shehim/whystayhere.mp3">She &amp; Him: Why Stay Here? </a><br /><br />Definitely will be adding them to the bands I need to see in <a href="http://www.mergerecords.com/band.php?tour=true&amp;band_id=140">08.</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3426612232558868840-7444828582015362709?l=listentothemusicplay.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Matt Whttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03629376223408816387noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3426612232558868840.post-8063821838692647532008-02-24T11:01:00.000-08:002008-02-24T15:45:42.745-08:00<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://jurgenfauth.com/wp-content/uploads/jgarcia.gif"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://jurgenfauth.com/wp-content/uploads/jgarcia.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Listen to the music play.<br /><br />This space is intended to catalogue my musical choice of the moment. Call it a biographical mix-tape of sorts. If there are others out there that find enjoyment from it, then so much the better. There are thousands of blogs/sites dedicated to this subject, but none that answers the question of what I was listening to in June of 1989 (UB40?)<br /><br />Hopefully it will double as a creative outlet for all thoughts on music - from jazz bands to jambands.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3426612232558868840-806382183869264753?l=listentothemusicplay.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Matt Whttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03629376223408816387noreply@blogger.com0
