my good men @ loperco are hosting a couple of killer solo tweedy shows for your downloading pleasure.

the hold steady’s your little hood rat friend video can be seen on youtube or by looking and pressing play below

one of my records of the year thus far is most definitely band of horses’ everything all the time. i got a copy of their tour cd when they happened to swing through atlanta last year and was anxiously awaiting their debut, and it has exceeded all my expectations, ten fold. here is a demo of their song funeral. check em out when they hit your area. also, be on the lookout for the new TV on the Radio, me thinks it blows blood thirsty babes away somethin fierce.

so long good buddy

i cannot stress enough the awesomeness of Lucero and this clip from their dvd Dreaming in America only solidifies my claim.? their last lp, nobody’s darlings, was my favorite of the ’05, followed closely by The Hold Steady’s Seperation Sunday.

mr leo has posted two new tunes up at his site, both of course are killer.

army bound
some beginners mind

an outstanding truckers show is available for download in the “shows” section of the site. highly recommended.
