“I’m elated to announce that we’ve signed with Serpents and Snakes. Details on everything coming soon, but for now here’s a few things we’re getting ready for. Broad strokes, padawan.
Firstly, we’ll be releasing a newly recorded version of ‘The House We Grew Up In’ alongside a video shot by our buds at Lunch & Recess. When that happens, you, your grandmother, and your iPad savvy toddler can all download it for free.
Then this summer we’ll be re-releasing Gutter Gaunt Gangster through S & S and touring up the east coast with our pals Kingston Springs. Venues will be announced shortly.”

Who knew J.Tillman ( @fatherjohnmisty ) could get even better looking with a haircut. Although his on stage dance moves may only be slightly better than Lana Del Ray, he is quite entertaining. Lets chalk it up to being behind a drum kit for so many years.

i think he borrowed the jacket from one of his alter boys.

“A true music lover seeks out music that makes them FEEL something. They don’t listen to music because someone tells them it will make them seem cool or “in the know”. None of that matters.”

The death of Levon
April 22, 2012

I was surprised by my reaction when I heard Levon Helm died. The news that he was in his final hours broke a few days earlier, so to find myself crying caught me by surprise. I know he was one of the greats as a musician and a drummer but I wouldn’t call myself a die-hard fan. I think we forget over the years the music we listened to as teens and I could probably sing you a lot of songs from The Band, but couldn’t tell you back then who they were. They were on the radio, they were on my sisters turntables, and they were the songs the boys liked. My respect for his work and for The Band grew with my passion for music, but I wasn’t a hardcore fan.
The list of my favorite artist ran through my head and what they might be thinking, feeling, what their reactions would be at that moment when they learned of his death. Listening to the DJ on the radio holding back his own tears and sharing stories of his youth and how the music of Levon Helm affected his life told me it isn’t just about the death of one musician, but how someone can inspire so many people to follow their dreams. We all have role models and I wouldn’t be surprised if most of the best drummers today would say Levon Helm was their biggest influence.
So it isn’t such a mystery anymore why his death affected me. I know if it wasn’t for him I never would’ve been introduced to my favorite bands that have gotten me through my darkest hours, and who have inspired me to follow my own dreams. Music heals, music saves lives, music changes the world.
Thank you, Levon. Rest in peace.
