A Strange, Strange, Wonderful Folk Artist.

Devendra Banhart is a strange, strange, but wonderful folk artist. See below for more details...
The man behind "Pumpkin Seeds". A song that I came across on a friend's myspace. Its ability to move me through the lyrics and music combined was enormous. I LOVE this song.

Have fun soaking up the lyrics and if you feel compelled, listen to it on MySpace!

There's a lot of love

But not the kind I need

Y'ever made a soup out of a pumpkin seeds

There's a lot of skin and flesh

I never should have seen

There's too many half ways in betweens

There's a lot of stays,

I think I wish I done

There's a lot of leaves my true love gave to me

There's a lot of stays,

I think I wish I done

There's a lot of leaves my true love gave to me

There's a lot of birds people like to draw

There's a lot of sees

I wish I'd never saw

There's a lot of birds that people like to draw

There's a lot of sees

I wish I'd never saw

There's a lot of love

But not the kind I need

There's a lot of love

But not the kind I need

Spend An Evening With Saddle Creek. Go Ahead.

Spend An Evening With Saddle Creek is a documentary of the upbringings of the record label company Saddle Creek. The documentary is narrated by individuals involved in the record company such as the founders and even some of the artists... There are extensive interviews, rare performances and archival footage. It is a really great insight to how they got their start, and major accomplishments along the way.

It also shows what the music scene was like back when it started, and how they fit in, with the music they were putting out. Saddle Creek Record Company has launched the following bands:

Azure Ray
Bright Eyes
Cursive
Desaparecidos
The Faint
The Good Life
Mayday
Now It's Overhead
Rilo Kiley
Son, Ambulance
Sorry About Dresden

These are all really great bands! And my latest kick happens to be Azure Ray. This DVD is something that I am putting on my Christmas list, and I advise you to check it out yourself!
