Technically; all chaps are ass-less.
Just to mention it:
Today's special: We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things by Jason Mraz. Everyday Low price: $8.99 Today's price: $3.99
Our pick this week found on the special deal of the day for Friday. $2.99, took a chance and it worked out well. I had only vaguely heard of this band and I'm not even sure where, but after listening to a preview of some of the songs, I decided to buy it.
I believe they're part of the Low-fi movement the kids have going on right now. Sort of like the Shins and the like, where it's all about good songs and limited production. Basically, just music and a mike. It's good times.
I found a video for this song, which is the main song that has my attention right now. It has a great line in it (the quote in the page heading up there), that just grabbed me and held on.
They have a few songs and about ships and sailing, but I think that may be because they're from the Pacific Northwest (ahem), but the lyrics are good, the melodies pleasing, just all around goodness. No cognitive dissonance here.
So, from Portland, OR:
The Decemberists - "The Engine Driver":
Bonus Tracks:
Oh my Shiva, I thought it was all a joke...:
I Miss the 90's:
So, you hop in to your kick ass Blue GMC truck or your sweet two-door Cavalier or whatever and you need a song to drive to. Something that will make you want to drive fast and get home in about 3.5 seconds and the video for that song needs to have the band walking around the woods in flannel. Got it. There's a reason this song is on every driving video game ever.
Soundgarden - "Rusty Cage":

NKOTB RULES!!!
Okay, really it's just nice to look at Joey again. SO hot.
OK so the Decemberists - can't say that I'd run right out and buy their CD but that song you listed, does have some great words.
NKOTB - back off the boys. I can't even believe I'm going to say this, but I love that song and they sound great. I loved their songs back in the day but I wasn't into the craze back then - you know, the NKOTB poster, sleeping bags, T-shirts, you name it. Good times and hey, the women are flocking like mad so yay for them racking in the big bucks for a second time!
Soundgarden - you're so right, I never thought about it but this song is in a lot of games.
Wow, good times. I actually went to a KKOTB concert, and I DID have the sleeping bag. Oh my!
Are they still the NEW KOTB?

1. Decemberists were at ACL this past year, and they were really good - I need to get that CD.
2. I can't get that stupid Summertime song out of my head! I loved them back in the day, but holy man, have they gotten old. Good thing I haven't aged a bit.
Oh we all know KG just likes to watch the guy dry humping. LOL!! Noce bod though.
HOw the heck is everyone? I am so out of touch. Life is so on fast forward and I can't find the damn remote!!!
