OFF TOPIC.

Bill just talked about his "listen on iPhone apps" and whatnot.  Well, this afternoon, I drove from downtown Boston to the Orleans rotary and back listening to Radio Paradise through my iPhone through my car stereo.  Way cool for an old fart.

.... we now return you to our regular programming ...

I heard this in late November '07, near midnight, driving along Rte. 169 and Lake Mead near Valley of Fire State Park in Nevada, heading to our hotel in Echo Bay .  Sunroof open, a zillion stars, the 50 mph speed limit merely a suggestion, blasting my ears half deaf. Highly cinematic and memorable.

Old codger music? I'm 56 and quite like this band. My 16 year old son was raving about them and made me check them out on you tube.

This is one of those bands helping form that new genre of mock-rock I can only refer to as.
"Post-My Morning Jacket"

Thought I was hearing this for the first time.  I have never before made such a change as this but 3 to 7.  Sorry guys it must have been in bad company on a really bad day for me the first time i heard it.

Maybe you "don't get" or are "not impressed" by this song, and it's not a musical suite with tempo changes and modulations, but there is certainly a melody.

Don't totally disagree with the comment on lack of melodic development, but I don't agree that it only increases in volume. Lots of harmony and layers of instrumentation added to build a wall of found.

This song starts out slow but builds to an amazing work of sonic art in no time at all...just like RP, it can coast along almost in the background and then it can still leap right up and impress me mightily...
I was listening to the song "Factory" the other day on my iPod and it struck me how much a part of my musical soundscape these guys have become...and my mind goes back to the very first time I heard of them, with "Our Swords" on RP from the stellar Everything All the Time record.  Have I taken these vital things for granted?  What would life be like without Band of Horses or RP?  It'd be like wandering, wandering in hopeless night; like being lost in The Wasteland...(of TS Eliot, not The Who)...

I'm an old codger and you haven't heard me griping.  The songs got a helluva drive... I like it.  7, with chances of an 8.
