Green Day morphing into Bob Mould. Dull, considering the influences.

Rock by the numbers. Completely generic.

Christianish soft rock on RP now? What a bore.

Having not heard any Carbon Leaf in quite a while, I instantly recognized their sound even though I'd not heard this song before.  Thought that was worth mentioning...

I'd agree, except that Green Day already is Green Day Lite. This is Green Day - Heavy I like it.

well heck, I like Green Day, too

Not good....what is this matchbox 357?  generic rock band 6458?  Not at all for me.  And sandwiched between Pearl Jam and Bruce too poor bastards didn't stand a chance.

So what would your choice for greatest song be, then?

Here's a tip for enjoying these guys more.  Don't let your friends play the same Carbon Leaf CD over and over and over again during a field trip if you're the one stuck in the back of a 15 passenger van.

I dn't like every Carbon Leaf song I've ever heard, but there's just something about them . . . even when they're playing a cut I don't care for, I still like the band.

Speaking of Bob Mould, why isn't there any on the playlist?? Love almost all of Workbook.

AGREED!

Workbook is a great piece of work. Just yesterday I was just thinking about uploading some cuts from it - as soon as I figure out how :-k ">


A grevious omission indeed. Workbook is splendid.

Not sure what this has to do with Carbon Leaf though, as they are totally unalike. One of these things just doesn't belong here. . .

Carbon Leaf started out as a college band, back in the day. They're from Richmond, Va. They were an indie band before signing with Vanguard to do their most recent album, Indian Summer. I've seen them open for Big Head Todd and the Monsters and Blues Traveler. I love their sound and the guys are very cool and very sweet.

They did pay me--I have pictures of myself and my son with members of the band. What could be better than that?

What's their background? They should pay you to do all that stuff...

I discovered Carbon Leaf about two and a half years ago right here on Radio Paradise. Now I'm on their street team and have worked the merchandise booth at their concerts at least three times. Plus I've seen them perform live at least half a dozen times--not bad for a girl from Kansas.

It's great to hear this less well-known Carbon Leaf song. I just got an email from the band and a new album is coming out soon! Woo Hoo!

I discovered Carbon Leaf here on RP about a year and a half ago. Since then I've seen them live four times (quite a feat if you live in Kansas ;) ) They are amazing live--but I love their CD's also.

I bought this album about a year ago after hearing "Mary Mac" played. Now it's one of my favorite albums and I just picked up Indian Summer. There's just something about their sound that's very nostalgic and beautiful.

Also, there's something about their lyrics that really strike a tone with me. They seem to write a lot about family and childhood.

extraordinarily bland. aside from the voice (which is pretty irritating in its own right, imho) it may as well be cookie-cutter corporate radio fluff.

WHAT?!? That's what I call Tori Amos. These guys do not qualify for that kind of rebuke. This band really makes me smile. I've seen them live twice now, and each time it was the most fun I've had at a show in a long time.

I like this song a lot, especially the harmonies in the "window shopped" verse. And there's something about the short-stroke violins that works pretty well to my ears as well.
