LBJ-004 (Thursday)
When you're home sick you hear that Fred Durst believes he will be mentioned in the same breath as Wes Anderson (Bottle Rocket, Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums, The Life Aquatic). It's just as likely he'll be mentioned in the same breath as...
DAY FOUR
Ted Stevens and Tim Kasher both lend their talents with guitar and voice to the cinematic Cursive albums. Stevens originally took the lead with Lullaby for the Working Class, a seven-piece acoustic band, but now calls the spotlight in front of Mayday his home. Mayday plays indie Americana songs in an Old West saloon partly oblivious to the murderous gun-slinging riot around them, and partly cheering it all on. Ted plays with three other permanent bandmates, but welcomes the contributions of countless others. Mayday has released three albums; their first and most recent on Saddle Creek.
It's hard to put the two in the same song/album crafting league, but Ted Stevens and Tim Kasher both like to turn the volume down, bring in a subtle twang, and create more spacious spelled-out backdrops when doing their own thing in Mayday and The Good Life respectively. It's almost surprising the directions they take with Cursive, whose The Ugly Organ should and does top many favorites lists.
A Mayday CD would not be out of place in the collection of most Ryan Adams fans. You read right.
Mayday's "Come Home"
from Old Blood (LBJ-44)
Mayday's "Pelf-Help"
"I'm Not Afraid to Die" (Gillian Welch cover)
& "Song of the Scaffold"
from Bushido Karaoke (LBJ-76)
Did you know?: That this is funny?
