And now, Episode 680 of the continuing story of "An Introvert Goes Public." Typalyzer says my blog is the work of an ESFP. Half of that ain't me, though. I'm an INFP and I'll cower defiantly before anyone who says otherwise. But, ahem, such nattering's not why we're here. Here's why we're here, and darned excited to be so:Okkervil River - Pop Lie mp3 - from Austinites' CD single Pop Lie, due out
(Not us) We promised more tunes by SXSW favebands and for once we keep a promise. True, SXSW 2009 is now one week's history, and the bands are scattered to winds NSE&W, possibly making this post a bit untimely. If this bugs you, we rend garments, don sackcloth, fling ashes, prostrate ourselves, and weep/wail/gnash for forgiveness. Mainly, though, we just post the tunes and uncross our
Upon opening the case of The Orchid Highway 's self-titled debut you get a sense of exactly what you are in for. The image of floor to ceiling stacks of vintage amps, guitars and keys sets the expectation that is fully realized when you hear the ringing opening barrage of "Sofa Surfer Girl".

Sorry not to have style-based groupings and such this time because time is what I don't have much of at the moment. I do hope you like some or all, though, because that will make at least two of us. I Love Math A Good Flying Bird (Guided By Voices cover) mp3 I Remember When I Loved Her (Zombies cover) mp3 - If you like (or love) I Love Math, we recently posted another pleaser here. The

web site :: myspace I remember in University, Jason Wong cheated off me in Advanced Calculus and somehow I ended up getting a D and he got an A. Ever since that day, I've struggled with the concept of derivatives and never fully understood what the term means. Where am I going with this? The Orchid Highway is probably going to be called derivative more than once when people listen to their self-titled debut. The quintet wears their influences ( The Beatles, The Kinks, The Who, The Doors, The The [...]
>> We've consumed some writing on the Internerdz that suggests that sounding like The Libertines is a bad thing. Or, more precisely, we think the beefing we've read is that there were too many British acts trying to sound like The Libertines for a while. Frankly, we hadn't noticed, and we think that if anyone should have a complaint along those lines, it should be about all the bands that seemed to spring up in the wake of Bloc Party 's huge success with very Bloc Party -influenced tunes.
