Golden Smog at the Bowery Ballroom, New York, NY, July 26, 2006.

How much would America rock then? I finally got around to listening to the Golden Smog album that was put out last year...and i am not at all surprised that it is wonderful.

This happened to me tonight....with this song
You might recall a few weeks back we posted about going to see Golden Smog at Bowery Ballroom...well, trolling YouTube over the weekend we came across a few videos from the show. click here for the full post and video
I really was done posting, but trusted MOGger Jameson requested some Golden Smog...another Jeff Tweedy side project. Here is a track that Jayhawks front man Gary Louris wrote and sings on...
i'm listening to the new golden smog record right now. it's really growing on me. if there's any complaint, it's that the record is all over the place stylistically, which is probably what you get when you put so many strong songwriters in the same band. the track, 'beautiful mind' is blowing me away at the moment. however, i think part of what is affecting me so much is the fact that it sounds so much like the flaming lips 'in a priest driven ambulance' record. that...
