So, I strolled out to my car
yesterday to find my window smashed and my CD player missing. I know
it's just a physical item that doesn't mean much in the long run, but I'm
having a hard time getting over how amazingly annoying it is. If you
have a spare moment then feel free to join me in willing total and complete
destruction on whoever did it. On a more positive note, I received
word that it was all good to share the first single from Langhorne Slim's
new self titled album for Kemado Records. I thought the new songs that
Langhorne and the War Eagles did at SXSW were pretty good, so I'm expecting
the disc to be one worth remembering. Or else. Expect to see it
on store shelves at the end of April. Enjoy.

Slim - Rebel Side Of Heaven:
"We ain't going to hell/We're going to the rebel side
of heaven." With every effort these guys get a little
better when it comes to songwriting, so I'm not really
surprised with the crafty lyrical quips that litter this
gem. However, I am a little taken back with the
arrangement. They've always had a penchant for going
all out and keeping it simple, and yet this is all about
subtle touches. Nicely done, fellas.
There isn't
much out there that is more fun than Langhorne Slim live,
and part of that is due to how for every raucous sing-a-long
there is an equally somber tune that just begs for your
quiet attention. The latter is what you'll experience
in this video for I Love You, But Goodbye.
