RE: holy socks and music needs
oddly enough, i have. i heard BT recently talk about them in an interview.
he picked up thier CD and decided that they were so good, that he was
reluctant to share how good they were with other people. wanted to keep them
his little secret unknown band. if thats saying anything.

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.
