Awesome stuff tho, check the album Blacklisted.
I love both Neko and The New Pornographers. Music has always been a huge part of my life, and alt-country is what I'm REALLY into right now. It's not exactly country, but you should check out Billy Bragg & Wilco- Mermaid Avenue. The late father of american folk music, Woody Guthrie, left journals full of lyrics he never put to music after his death. His widow gave them to Billy Bragg to put to music, and he got help from Wilco, and the resulting album (and Mermaid Avenue vol.2) is fucking amazing. It's got a feeling you just never get anymore, and a beauty in the lyrics that only Woody Guthrie could give.
katyowns Reviewed by katyowns on . Narrow minded music "fans" I can't stand people that are narrow minded when it comes to music. It's fair enough to have your niche, people that say they like everything seem to think they've heard everything, but I draw the line at people so isolated as to label other music talentless. Take this barmaid at my local the other day. Pretty safe, even gave me and my chums free drinks. I ask her what kinda music she's into. Kinda went like this: Her: I love heavy metal. It's my favourite. Me: That's cool. Her: Yeah, I Rating: 5
