NMT 126
Our pick this week is something that we were introduced to by the groom of the wedding we went to a couple of weeks ago. The groom plays guitar and we sat around talking about music and our shared interest in Eric Johnson. He told me about this guy and how he's his current favorite obsession.
This guy has a style where he beats the rhythm out and plays the chords and melody at the same time.
He has a great song called "Rylynn" you should look up, but I chose this one because it sort of fit the motif of the room the reception was in (if you were there or saw some pictures, you know what I'm talking about). Plus, it's just cool.
This could very easily have become muzak quality, but oddly, it doesn't. And good luck getting this out of your head.
So, from Topeka, Kansas:
Andy McKee - "Africa":
Bonus Tracks:
One week from today, a new Hold Steady album is coming out. If you haven't gotten on board with this band, you should. All the kids are doing it.
The Hold Steady - "Hurricane J":
You know, Arizona, you're a hot, smelly, sandy speck in the middle of nowhere. You need to be making more of an effort to make people happy and less of one being douche-y. Keep it up and we'll bundle everything south of the Grand Canyon with all of Texas (except the new American Republic of Austin)and give it back to Mexico.
I thought we already went over this? Oh, yeah: we did.

that dude totally stole that song.
give me some time,
it won't take me long.
i've heard it before,
just can't place it.
sooner or later,
i'll just have to face it.
i've racked my brains,
but.... shit.
i'm fixing to blame the rains...
OMG - Andy is freakin' amazing! You're right, I've youtubed him and listened to a ton of his songs...I'm addicted. Woot, woot - that's me jumping on the band wagon.
The rest, eh
PS - it's about time you updated
I can not find the word douchey on dictionary.com. I looked up douche and there is no adjective form of the word. SO, I believe your usage is invalid. :)
