LIGHTNING BOLT!!!!

I was talking to a really hairy guy at a show last week, and he told me that when he met his latest girlfriend, she had a black eye from going to a Lightning Bolt show. That's when he knew she was the lady for him.

Lightning Bolt was made for love.

lightning bolt is a uniter not a divider.

Which album do you enjoy the most?

And isn't it 'Okkervil River'?

[ob_gyn_kenobi]

yes, it is indeed okkervil river, my mistake.

right now i think i enjoy the salim nourallah the most but i think all of them are pretty brilliant.

[ob_gyn_kenobi]

Cam's Top 10

[anonymous]

Mike, you already know what I think of the mostly good choices on this list (excluding Silver Jews. In what universe does "Haven't you heard the news/Adam and Eve were Jews/And I always loved you to the max" make someone a lyrical genius?"). In rebuttal, my Top 10. Feel free to diss- especially the Bright Eyes. I swear I haven't gone emo.

1. Okay- Low Road/High Road
2. Antony and the Johnsons- I Am A Bird Now
3. Sufjan Stevens- Illinois
4. The National- Alligator
5. Jamie Lidell- Multiply
6. Bright Eyes- I’m Wide Awake, It’s Morning
7. The Dirty Projectors- The Getty Address
8. Bloc Party- Silent Alarm
9. New Pornographers- Twin Cinema
10. David Thomas Broughton- The Complete Guide to Insufficiency (I know, I signed him, but I really do love this album!)
