Songs That Might Otherwise Pass You By, Pt. 3

**I was supposed to do my podcast this weekend, but because of upload issues (stupid wireless card), I'm going to wait until I have a more stable internet connection. It's going to be my last podcast, anyway, so what's the hurry? Either thie weekend or the next weekend.

I'll keep doing my blog, though. I know I've said that a hundred times, but I don't want anyone to mistakenly think I'm giving it all up. Still gonna blog. Just no audio part.**

Tarantulas don't seem so scary any more...

Throw Me The Statue



This song/video is two years old, but I was scrolling through the Take Away Shows and I'd forgotten how much I like this band.

Songs That Might Otherwise Pass You By, Pt. 2

Seth Augustis "Trickeries of the Great Emptiness" and "Tiny Little Heads" (MP3s courtesy of the music promotional site, Team Clermont).

Heh. The second song kind of freaks me out, but not in a bad way. Kind of the same way I was freaked out when I went to New Orleans on my birthday (AKA Halloween) and ran around the cemetery at midnight.* Fond, but creepy memories...

*I can't remember if it was the midnight starting my birthday (All Hallow's Eve) or the midnight ending my birthday. I should remember that, but I was doing what most people do in the French Quarter on a holiday. I was drinking. So, I don't remember much of that weekend.

Songs That Might Otherwise Pass You By, Part 1

Yukon Blonde, "Wind Blows" (MP3 courtesy of the music promotional site, Team Clermont).

I just happened to be listening to this song and watching the video posted below. They seem to be made for each other (except it would be more appropriate if the song said "snow drops". Still awesome, though. The "waiting it out" lyric is especially appropos.)

Skydiggers



I tried to find this song on Amazon download, iTunes and eMusic, but couldn't find it. They have a retrospect album out. I just ordered it from Amazon.

Electric President, "Safe and Sound" (MP3 courtesy of Toolshed promotional company, in case anyone wants to DMCA me)

This band is from Jacksonville. Hey! That's where I live!

Website (This site says they don't have a Myspace page; that the Myspace Morrelectric is not run by them or their label. I found a Myspace that looks pretty convincingly real, and is not the one mentioned on the website. I'll put it down, but please be aware that it may not be "official".
