big day for shows yesterday. first, bonnie 'prince' billy and, then, the red sparowes. needlessly to say, the red sparowed won that contest hands down - i mean how much fun can a guy with an acoustic guitar be (unless, of course, you are damien rice)? not that i dislike bonnie 'prince' - i just much prefer listening to him on record. anyhow, this is an entertaining ad for his new album "the letting go". the reference to pissed-on shark probably has something to do with it being recorded in iceland. everyone knows icelanders like pissing on their food. that's why the girls are so pretty. there are a couple of more - undoubtedly to be found on youtube.com
the red sparowes have a new album, every red heart shines towards a red sun, coming out in september. the album does not represent a radical change from their previous album, which is a relief - at the soundless dawn was one of my favorite albums last year. if there is any discernable change, every red heart is a bit harder and, perhaps, less accesible. and if you get a chance to catch them live, they are certainly worth checking out. like always the songs have long titles like: Like The Howling Glory Of The Darkest Winds, This Voice Was Thunderous And The Words Holy, Tangling Their Way Around Our Hearts And Clutching Our Innocent Awe
