This is so random, but I have to mention it - the Dallas Cowboys kill me.  Here they are in the midst of falling apart after a lame Tony Romo injury, another Pacman suspension, TO problems and a bad loss, yet they go out and trade for a big-time receiver in Roy Williams.  Who does that!?  Are these sort of shenanigans even legal?  It's both thrilling and frustrating the way they invite destruction.  Anyways, let's talk Minus The Bear and the success that has allowed them to do what all big bands do - make an acoustic-only EP.  Normally, I'm not that into that kind of thing, but I think these crazy kids from Seattle actually managed to not overdo it.  Plus, I love that they included a new song (it awaits you below) to help push it.  Get your digital copy now!  Enjoy.

:Minus The Bear - Guns And Ammo (Acoustic Version):  I have no idea if Minus The Bear is planning on spicing this song up with their usual progressive ways when it comes to playing it live, but with it's semi-ethereal vocals and odd pacing I can already hear them thumping along as if an acoustic version never existed.  Sure, that may seem to defeat the purpose of presenting a new tune the way they did, but let's face it - you didn't really expect this group to not give you something normal without a completely different approach, did you?

I love Youtube.  Not only does it help me extend my content everyday, but it also provides some of cooler things in life.  Check out the Pachuca Sunrise video set to the remix of the tune.
