New Band of Horses – “Compliments”
I’ve been trying to keep my cool about this new Band of Horses album. But with just a handful of weeks to go, the anticipation is building. And with the leak (?) of “Compliments” yesterday, well, I’m giddy with ants-in-my-pantsness.…
Courtney Jaye + Ben Bridwell
Where the voice of Ben Bridwell goeth, I shall follow. And the boy has brains, apparently, because hubba bubba pow wow (sorry – that’s my reaction to the pic above). Ben (Band of Horses frontman) shows up on singer/songwriter Courtney…
The Friday Five: January 1, 2010
