Re: holy socks and music needs

Pedro the lion. That's flirting with "My Favorite Band" title. Over 
the Rhine and Pedro quietly but consistently battle for the title of 
My Favorite Band. David Bazan has to be one of the most honest 
Christians I've ever heard. It's disturbing really, but at the 
forefront of my consciousness. Pedro the Lion's music speaks to the 
darkest corners of your soul, and makes you say "yeah, that's kind of 
where I am, I just don't want anyone to know it".

If you've ever been to one of their concerts (I saw them at the 
Bluebird in denver, where I had been a few months previous for the 
OtR concert), the audience is very quiet. Almost cathartic. David 
Bazan is so intense. It's hard to just not pay attention to someone 
who is being so brutally honest.

 From "Criticism as Inspiration", off the "The Only Reason I Feel Secure" album.

"It makes me feel so good to always tell you when you're wrong. The 
big man that I am to always have to put you down. Put you down...

Then there's your girlfriend, she opens her legs and gives your life 
meaning. Is that what you love her for?

The Angel always looking down.
He's perfect with a frown.
The bully always wins.

....

It makes me feel so good to always tell you when you're wrong. The 
big man that I am to always have to put you down.
It makes me look so good to always put you in your place. I could 
write it in a song and never tell it to your face."


I agree. Pedro is a good band.

Ever heard of Godspeed You Black Emperor? I just won a record of 
theirs on Ebay.

It's cold this year and I'm late on my dues.
It's cold in here. That's nothing new.
My heart's electric your love again.
So it's on to Bethlehem.
