Red Mosquito

It happens to the best of us.

I also think it’s a bit of a misnomer that they are billed as quasi indie or quasi jam band. I tend to find the most appreciation from hearing them sort of build their songs brick-by-brick in what feels like real time - sometimes starting with the smallest little hook and turning into this enormous sound - I guess that somewhat makes Jim James’ lyrics beside the point for me, though I think his vocal howling can often add that next level intensity as the song hits its apex. It’s not jams built off one or more virtuoso players, but this organic build that only they can do as a band. Kills me every time.

Seeing them at midnight at Bonnaroo in the rain was one of the best shows I've ever seen.

Their later output was the most disappointed I've ever been in a band I think. But their early stuff, despite feeling like a band searching for itself, was pretty great .

I love it all. One of the few bands, like Pearl Jam or the Stones and in recent years the Grateful Dead, where I just connect with the music on a deeper spiritual level. I don’t love every song, but I do love every album.

Wrong thread.

I mean it still fits in this thread’s topic I suppose

This thread should just be a random content aggregator that just randomly pulls over posts from other threads. I think it would result in a lot of serendipitous, artful exchanges.

Picture your feet nailed to the floor
Picture a crew who are clearly insane
Picture no windows, picture no doors

The new Phil Cook album is lovely, but the guy should really sing more because he has a great voice.

Have the island boys done a Christmas song yet?

im thinking of buying a basic acoustic guitar just to be able to play sundown by gordon lightfoot

I think that's a great idea, do it

done

Fuck Yes!

You can go a damn long way with G, C and D. But E is my favourite.

i have absolutely no idea how to play a guitar so this should be fun
