Me new fave band

I just discovered these guys...they are thoroughly awesome and this whole album is amazing. A lot of the songs incorporate an amazing Balkan horn section. Beautifully recorded too. I love them. 
 

 

Hi,
 
I kinda liked the 1000 sitars better ... I wonder if 1000 guitars would sound as good?

Thanks, I like that a lot. I love to hear new music (new to me). I tire of hearing the same songs over and over very quickly.
 
It reminds me of how MAD I am at GPB (I cannot stand them). They managed a takeover of WRAS, Georgia State University radio. It used to be Album88 and they played mostly new music. I'd tune in and hear music like this regularly and look it up. Of course they had other specialty programs but it was completely student run and gave a lot of people a start in broadcasting. Now I turn it on and get this: "All things considered" BS and it REALLY ticks me off. I think WRAS now has internet radio but it isn't the same, I forget about it. It isn't as easy as pressing a button on the Pioneer in my truck. 
They were operating on FM 88.5 live over the last weekend and the as the DJ was finishing his show he commented how great it was to be "on air" because of the phone call requests and comments that he doesn't get when "streaming" the show.
You might try finding them online, they are always playing either really good or really bad music, according to your likes and dislikes, lol.. but always something new.
 
I will be on the lookout for more of Round Mountain. I'm sure I'll like The Miserable Rich too, I'll listen. The secnd song reminds me a little of Camper Van Beethoven, less ska but still, it has that feel. Maybe it is the accordion.
 
Thanks again!

Lead singer (James) of the Miserable Rich, reminds me of Tim Buckley. I don't hear the counting crows connection, especially being they just have one guitar, and no drums on their early work, apart from the occasional snare played with finger. More of a String quartet sound, with a guitar as one of the strings.
