[The Night Owl]

5. DSP does a song about Chicken Pot Pie

Need I say more?

[punpirate]

15. I think "Chicken Pot Pie"...

... is a George Scherer tune, which is another person to look for. Great stuff on his latest CD, which is "Election Year Waltz." Look for it--great tune about the two Bush administrations called "Two Bush Blues."

6. Twisted Tower Dire n/t

[Beware the Beast Man]

7. Paik- a really cool, heavy, psych/noise band from Detroit.

Saw them play on New Year's Eve- they had the tripped-out light show and everything. Thick, dense, textured guitar noise- good stuff.

[The Night Owl]

9. Paik is excellent

Paik is one of my favorites right now.

If you like Paik, you might also like Circle.

[Beware the Beast Man]

10. I'm really getting into that whole subgenre as of late.

Even with the stuff I'm recording at home as well. I used to do mostly electronic ambient recordings, but now I'm starting to add the thick guitar sound to the mix.

Circle- I'll have to check them out- thanks!

16. Fred J. Eaglesmith

Ontario farm boy. His early work is traditional folk, more recent stuff is more edgy folk/country/rock. Lots of songs about cars, dogs, trains.

His song "Wilder than Her" was covered by Dar Williams, and "Carmelita" has been covered by the Cowboy Junkies.
