More Fun With Coffins

[handful_ofdust]

Today, I paid my Mom $20.00 for the privilege of using her iTunes to buy 16 Horsepower's Secret South and Low Estate. May I just say, HAY-ell yes.;)

Here's the most fun track I've heard as yet, off Low Estate:

Ditch Digger

I dug on down - for to see my true love
She is the only - girl I will speak of
Yes I went on down for to get my girl
An' free her from the Devil's World

I hear the sound of her heart a-poundin'
Fear was the hole, boy, that she were found in
The tears of my Lord,
Yes they run to the ground
Amazing Grace how sweet the sound

Yes I went on down for to see my true love
Yeah, an' I found trouble there
But even so, I thank the Lord forgivin' me
And givin' one so fair.

Rock on, you crazy Protestant hillbillies!

P.S.: Looked up 16 HP's other video, "Haw", on YouTube. It reveals that Edwards looks spookily like Jared Padalecki from some angles, particularly when he's playing the Devil (Edwards, not Padalecki. Not YET.;))

Dude.

I like the way he'll always juxtapose the most troubling imagery with a sudden shot of Jesus-juice: fear were the hole that she was found in/...Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound--JUST kiddin', fellas! Seriously, there's light at the end of the tunnel...

Oh no, wait; that's Hell.;)

Oh no, wait; that's Hell.

Yeah; your characters know that feeling.

True enow!

ha! It'll be my next purchase :D

Did you ever listen to any Cordelia's Dad/Tim Eriksen? Just wondering.

[handful-ofdust.livejournal.com]

Yeees, but I'm not sure just what/where. Let me look around.

[asakiyume.livejournal.com]

I have bunches! And when you tell me what you have, I will send you Other Stuff.

(BTW, listened through Grave Digger and loved it. Crazy New World Orpheus.)

[handful-ofdust.livejournal.com]

I don't think I can find any Cordelia's Dad or Eriksen. Do you know how to get in touch with me directly?

[asakiyume.livejournal.com]

No, but you can send me a message at forrestfm at gmail dot com.

For starters, meanwhile, try these:

Wow, that's gorgeous.

I'm frankly about to fall over, but I'll send you that email. It may not say much.;) Thanks!
