I really like this song, especially that acoustic picking in the beginning. I like the journey it takes, even through Beatles country and back again. Really cool.

Reminds me of the Shins. And no, its really good, mellow, and indie is more of an aquired taste.

Indy is the track down the street where the pigs race every Friday night. Can hear them squealing at the start up line.


When I first started listening to RP, I was amazed at how many bands were coming out of Indiana.

The title makes me think of Godspeed You! Black Emperor's album "Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven"... would be interesting to hear some of their stuff here...

Odd the "skinny" reference and the similar sound to Old 97's, at least from my way of thinkin...

It's funny how "he aint heavy", "because" he's my brother, but "She's So Heavy", despite "because".

I can't help but start singing "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" in the middle of this song. Beatle fans, I'm sure you can feel me on this.

I like this scenario better....the white tees sound too much like Matt Costa. So if these guys sound like the white tees, let's just skip that and say they sound like Matt Costa. Avoid the whole FM overplay part.

Yes, exactly what membeth said! I was coming in here to make sure these weren't the same guys.

Especially with the coincidental connotation between this band's name and the biblical name Delila.
