Today's song is "Deadbeat" by Lightning Love . Lightning Love are a young trio from Ypsilanti, MI that started out when they were 16. Comprised of Ben Collins, and siblings Aaron and Leah Diehl, they've received lots of local attention in the Detroit music scene and signed with Quiet Scientific Records (Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr./ Cotton Jones). This is the first single from the band's new EP entitled Girls Who Look Like Me which is out now. The band is offering a free download of this song now on their bandcamp page. Listen [...]
I'm so glad I've learned to listen between the initial lines, and around the vocal tones. My first spin of the first track on Lightning Love 's new four-song EP had me starting to think, "Oh, no – another kinda cutesy , little-girlish voice." But something in the words of Deadbeat , and something about the honesty; as well as the Ypsilanti, Michigan-based trio's synchronous vibe, made me want to keep listening. By the second track, I found myself increasingly hypnotized by Lightning Love. All four tracks on Girls Who Look [...]
Lightning Love is a Michigan based musical trio consisting of brothers, Aaron and Ben Collins, and their friend Leah Diehl. Quite Scientific Records has signed this young band and is releasing their EP, Girls Who Look Like Me , on January 31st. At the moment "Deadbeat" is all you can stream (and download for free) on bandcamp but you can listen to clips of their other songs here which are actually a bit different from this first track. The dichotomy of the biting bitterness of the lyrics in "Deadbeat" and the happy [...]

Tweet Seems our penance for a couple of hours of sunshine is 22 hours of incessant rain. Ah well, guess we don't make our homes here for the skin browning capacity of the sun. In many ways the shite weather is a godsend for Irish bloggers, in that it keeps us indoors and on media devices as yet incapable of withstanding watery deposits. We spoke of this Ypsilanti (not sure where that is but it is too attractive [...]
"Be Sincere." That's it really, in a nutshell, distilled to its very essence. That is our simple entreaty, something held more vital than a manifesto, but not quite dogma. It a sense, there's not much to it, or at least not much concrete. There's something about it, though, something compelling. Sincerity is one of those lovely little ideas both ultimately mutable and utterly inarguable. One can be sincere about almost anything, yet once you are, it is a statement of ultimate purpose and conviction. It's a form of truth. I'll admit, the [...]
It was slightly before midnight at Woodruff's bar in Ypsilanti, Michigan when I decided "You know what? Instead of reviewing Mittenfest in a traditional manner, I am going to write about the Mittenfest experience." This choice came about due to one thing and one thing alone: Liquor. I'm going to level with you, readers: I drank a lot. I drank more than I've drank in a very long time and, considering I was coming off a pretty nasty flu-type bug, I probably drank more than I should have. And you know what? It was the best [...]
There's really no need to harness your inner child anymore, Lightning Love can do that for you. Their sound brings a school play to mind; with elementary school children reading lines and singing songs written by someone much older. Lightning Love is simultaneously adorable and poignant, confessing wide-eyed about boys and fears, but with some [...]
I feel like every generation is marked by one event of true greatness, an occurance that has so much impact that it goes on to define that point in time. This is particulary true when it comes to music. Elvis Presley shook his hips on Ed Sullivan and the whole world caused a commotion. The Beatles had a "mania" named after them. The early ninties unteased it's hair and took off it's spandex to scream their angst along with Kurt Cobain via "Smells Like Teen Spirit". But what does my generation have? What is the musical milestone that will be [...]
I have two social circles. A lot of people do - They divide their home life or work life from their social life and I'm no exception. Recently, I was sitting with Matt Roney, that RFC contributor I seem to be damn near inseperable from these days given how many of my tales involve him, and I mentioned that, in my "home life", I'm "The Barney". To understand this, of course, you have to mildly familiar with CBS's hilarious sitcom, How I Met Your Mother, which features the following archetypes: Lily and Marshall: The [...]
In just a little over a year from now, I'll be turning 30. Being as close to it as I am, it doesn't really seem so old anymore. I remember as a kid, even teenagers seemed like grown-ups to me, let alone 30-year-olds! By the time you're 30, you have a career and a house and a husband and kids and everything! Or so I thought. Sure, I have a job, and it's a real job insomuch as it involves neither working a cash register nor dunking a basket of French fries into hot oil. I [...]
I might have mentioned previously that I'm sort of Scrooge McDuck when it comes to holiday music, much to the chagrin of the people around me. No, you won't hear Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas Is You" echoing from the speakers of my office (or, rather, the corner of the dining room where I house my computer). Instead, you'll hear the same sad, indie music you hear year 'round from this gal. Who needs "Little Drummer Boy" when you have "Westfall" , am I right? Okay, maybe no one agrees with me. Regardless, if there's [...]
