Cadillac Sky

Cadillac Sky should be a lot more tired. It’s early Saturday afternoon at MerleFest and the band–Bryan Simpson, Matt Menefree, Andrew Moritz, Ross Holmes and newest addition David Mayfield–has already logged two performances on the day....

Sessions: David Bazan

It was pretty slow. I mean, I played [the songs] on acoustic guitar for a long time, but I didn’t know how to transfer them to the other format. I didn’t want it to be a solo acoustic record. I wanted there to be bells and whistles and full band arrangements even if I didn’t want it necessarily to be electric guitar rock....

Sessions: Vetiver

“It’s always slightly confounding to me whenever Vetiver is depicted with the same tropes that people have read off of press sheets,” says Andy Cabic. “The same sort of milestones get mentioned but then no one really digs to find out that there are those other things going on.”

Spoon: The Power of Transference

In 1995, Spoon were often dubbed “the next Pixies.” The tag never quite fit, but the two did share a love for writing glorious pop songs and then shrouding them with walls of noise and mystery. Over 15 years, the Austin, Texas band have survived lineup shuffles and early record label neglect, finding their signature style with 2001’s Girls Can Tell and quietly building one of the strongest rock catalogs of the decade.

Hey Patrick McLeod,
"Downbeat Girl" is awesome - I love the beat. Great job.

Thanks for the comment on First Impression. It's funny because I came across this girl at a mall and who was getting me to buy this scrub of some sort. Anyways, she kept hitting on me and making me feel really awkward. I mean why couldn't she at least be attractive! LOL j/k. I know it could have been making the customer want to buy but she was getting pretty personal. But to make a long story short, I thought of how people act towards each other that can really set someone completely off. Now if she was somewhat attractive, it would've been a whole new song, more like Love at First Sight ha, ha.
