GREAT! Britain and texas

At the moment Jared and I are trying to get tix for the Rothbury Festival this summer in Michigan (http://www.rothburyfestival.com), so I figured I'd throw up one of these guys.

As Jared likes to say (and as I mentioned in last blog post), all of the best bands ever in the whole wide world always come from England. In that vain here is one of my favorites from there and in contrast to that I am going with a band from texas (boo! boo! note lack of capitalization of state name, which should be in caps because it is a proper name)

Gomez- who will be at Rothbury (Excitement!) These guys have been around for quite a while and have a solid 5 or so albums under their belt. I saw them at Bonnaroo a few years ago and their performance of the below song on the Roo dvd is one of my faves. This is also Jared's favorite Gomez song (can you say instant credibility!)

Gomez- Nothing is Wrong



Spoon- who won't be at Rothbury (Sadness!). Probably unfair to say they're from Texas because they are actually from Austin which as far as I've been told, doesn't count as Texas and is more like Boulder. Anyway, this is from their 6th and most recent album and the song kicks ass. Also, I don't think Milz is reading this but I dedicate this song to him and the New York Giants (hehe).

Spoon- The Underdog
