Josh Rainwater on some of his favorite music...
I was actually going to put that Robyn video as well. That junk is sweet. And she does the Electric Slide at one point.
Here are a few of my favorites:
Rabbit In Your Headlights [ft. Thom Yorke] - UNKLE

It’s ever haunting.
Drop - The Pharcyde

We're excited to be working with Joshua Rainwater →
on some visuals (i.e. t-shirt photos and a video in the near future). He came over tonight and we talked about some ideas, and I was just really impressed with his handling of the situation. We’ve never done a video, so I don’t know how to communicate my already very incomplete vision. Still, he seemed to balance flexibility with focus, creativity with practicality… and did I...

"Gorgon" in The Great Columbia Mixtape 2011 →
Don’t get me wrong, I like my own songs. Still, I was surprised that out of our updated catalog “Gorgon” was featured in the Free Times 2011 Great Columbia Mixtape. ”Smoke in the Field” and “Cassiopeia” just felt like more accessible numbers. Not that I’m complaining, by any means! In fact, if anything, it’s a bit of a relief to see that...

Free Times- The Year in Local Music →
Seriously, we love some FT lovin’.
“The Limited Abilities of Man” was called “second-best this year.” Second to what, I’m not sure, but we’ll take it.
Also, we like seeing our friends Ghosts of the Great Highway (who we agree are “underrated”) and Rejectioneers on the list. Great guys. You should check them out.
