He was, but hardly "for so long".

no, in fact they're pressing a new album as we speak...  they've always also done their own side projects in addition to Gomez

Just checked in and saw your post. Cool!
On a slightly different note ... this is a Ben song and he has a new album out. Anyone have reactions? What little I've heard is very Ben, which is fine w/me.

Thanks, Tana! I, too, am familiar only with their more recent releases. I took your advice and clicked through to Amazon to purchase the Bring It On AND Liquid Skin CDs! Appreciate the recommendation!

I love Gomez - this is a really good song, and fits in well with the kind of day I've had. I think I'm done - gonna cut my motor and glide...{#Sunny}

Many people point to Bring It On, their first, as their best, but my husband and I got seriously addicted to Liquid Skin. Once you're acclimated, try Abandoned Shopping Trolley Hotline, which has some variations and expansions on other material, along with Getting Better, done for a commercial but a nice step out. And catch them live if you ever can. We did last Friday night and it exceeded all expectations by far. New album 3/31/09, on Jimmy Fallon that night.

I really like this band....  there's just something about them.   Kinda like Big Head Todd and the Monsters.    I can tell it's them, but I don't know what it is that attracts me to them.........

I like this Goatmess song. Their stuff is so variable to so some only gets a 3 from me and other like this get much higher.

Saw these guys at Byron Bay and they are definitely a great band live. Always liked their stuff and it always takes me a moment or two to work out who it is as there is so much variation.

Cake were on immediately after them followed by George Clinton so that was officially a great day.

If ever there was a band to look out for it is Gomez. Since they started out (commercially) they've moved from being quirky but good to one of those bands you're proud to have in a collection. They continue to get better and better. Get to see them live if you can. My personal favourite song is Rie's Wagon.

These guys put on a great show. Don't miss 'em.

IMHO one of the best blues type voices going today.

Like many of you this is the tune that turned me on to Gomez (thanks RP!). I checked out their most recent album and was slightly let down. I then delved deeper and found Liquid Skin and Split the Difference to be excellent records. Check them out!

Gomez is amazing. If you haven't seen them live, be sure to. Ben's voice is astonishing. And he's become an exceptional guitar player over the past 10 years.

Thanks for the introduction to Gomez. This is one of the examples of why Internet radio benefits the group; I went right out & bought the cd once I knew about it.

My sister came back from Ireland with the first Gomez cd. I listened to it over and over on a bicycle tour down the coast of California. I was hooked. Try 'em live, but bring your ear plugs.

Best Gomez song ever. In my honest opinion. This song turned me onto this band. Still remember the first time I listened to this song after buying the album. The car drive, the landscape passing by me and then this. . .

Pure perfection.

For some reason I can not put my finger on, this songs always makes me think of California (the state). Odd, huh?

Oh--and in a good way.

Definetly one of the premier bands from the past several years.

The singer's voice reminds me of Grant Lee Philips.

They played in Minneapolis last year. I'm really upset I didn't get to see them. I pretty much fell in love with them since their first album, and they just keep getting better and better. Great band.
