Mr Owl PhD Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Is she the lassie that does the weather on North Tonight?Not sure. She might be, although it's a long commute from California so maybe not. I think this is definitely her though: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nullmouse Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 just discovered The Low AnthemThe Low Anthem on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloadsgreat stuffThey're great live - Caught both their sets at End of The Road this year and the second one (on the mainstage) was enhanced by a problem with the electric guitar, meaning we got a huge set of quiet songs which everyone was eerly attentive all through.

Shaki Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 Sixteen HorsepowerI got three of their albums off a friend and remember enjoying them at the time before totally forgetting about them. I'll go for a re-listen this weekend. Enjoying your mix Bigsby. Have only listened to the first half. Some of it is a little too "country" for me (Buck Owens etc.) as I prefer the more modern alt.country or rock/folk music with country influence but I think I'll pick up some new stuff from this mix. Andy, the boy Malcolm sounds decent. Make up some fanciful story for flyers/posters that he's mates with Seasick Steve or something and watch the punters streaming in.

mmd040 Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 At the moment I can't get enough of Richmond Fontaine to the point that I'm also reading main man Willy Vlautin's novel, Motel Life. Latest album, We Thought the Freeway was a River is bloody marvellous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
