MUSIC SIGNPOSTS ON THE WEB'S LONELY ROAD

(100)

Seriously. Is there a quota? Because I have a new one: Ghostland Observatory.

I caught this power duo from Austin at Lollapalooza on the recommendation of Librarianguish as did zeroskilz, who flew this weekend to Seattle to catch GLO at a sold out show. Librarianguish joined us as well as my good buddy Jaye.

First off: the show was amazing. The physical performance of the lead singer Aaron Behrens is entralling. The man just reeks of sexuality and has the vox to back it up. Absolutely luscious.

After the show, we hightailed it over to the Crocodile Cafe for a fine example of redneck rock with the Black Lips. We stayed there for just a short time, because Jaye got kicked out...AGAIN (and she looks so mild mannered) and we decided to go to an all night diner for some alcohol absorption. Sitting there, waiting for eggs Jaye suddenly belts out "hello! Mr....Ghostland!" Yep, there's the band and to make a long story a tiny bit shorter, we got our tickets autographed, I bought their breakfast and we ended up on the band guest list for the sold out show the next night at the Croc. RIGHT ON!

So Saturday's show was at a smaller bar/club. There was no laser show but the performance...._OMG_!!!! There were the amazing moves made by Aaron and the techno-meister, Thomas Turner played the tunes.

Lovely, lovely, lovely.

And I was up front and central, and so got such a shot at the boots...

You know what? Live is _good_!

I do not second this number; it is unofficial, restrictive, unfair, unrealistic and unacceptable.

(yes, I have way more than 17)

I guess you can kill two birds with one stone if you eat with a lead vox man with dark eyes who reeks sexuality.

Cody, you are a meticulous & successful observer of the female mind....

Hell the scenario I mentioned might cover 3 obsessions in one if you add a fine wine to the mix..or maybe a ice cold malt liquor if he's that type of lead vox.

Or even 4, if you add dessert. And now I'm drooling all over Amber's post (sorry!).

Your wife is one lucky lady! :)

Drool away, darlin'...Aaron Behren's is droolistic, at least on stage. He has this controlled arrogance/confidence that always makes me pant. Plus the man can _move_ and _sing_ and _play bass_.

The funny thing is, at the restaurant, he seems so shy and reserved. Its amazing what bright lights and a guitar can do for a guy.

And thanks for stepping aside without a fight. That is so nice of you! And the boots come off you know...

I'm assuming that's a rhetorical question eh dear? You can have as many musical obsessions as I do, which is LIMITLESS! Now go forth & multiply(oh wait, you already have on that OTHER site, heh). Ghostland is great & that's so f'ing awesome that you free tix for their next night's performance. How awesome is that?

Or, just buy a really nice nockoff... a few thousand - no that's money that's going to the new laptop so as to be certain I won't lose my music library... I could cry
