Throwback Thursday VI


It recently came to my attention that there are people out there who have not yet been exposed to the awesomeness that was The Beta Band. For some reason they just haven't been in the right place at the right time, or they've just never seen High Fidelity. Either way, I think its time to remedy that situation. Check out these two tracks and find out what you may have been missing out on. As alluded to earlier, "Dry the Rain" features in one of my favorite moments in one of my favorite movies. The scene wouldn't have worked nearly half as well if the tune in question hadn't been so jaw-droppingly gorgeous. The second track on offer here, "Assessment", was a wonderful single from the band's (sadly) final full-length.

In other news, I'm currently working on a special project to try and make up for all of the slacking I've been doing as of late. Nothing too special, but I'm putting together a mix of some of my favorite tracks from the first three months of 2007.

Also, three of my latest reviews recently popped up on Static - Keller Williams' star-studded latest jam session (enjoyable, if jam bands are your thing), the TVT debut of Texas rapper Twisted Black (a few misses, but shows lots of potential, and the debut by Brit soulster James Morrison (frightfully boring).
