    i think hospital beds appealed to me because i really love songs w/ piano...some emotional element or something?!? try "st. john"...probably my favorite song live. they go freakin' nuts...quite a fun thing to see live.

    i really enjoy we used to vacation and hang me p to dry... but yeah, the piano driven thing just felt too... gavin degraw for me or something. im really sick of those soulful white balladeers and their pianos ;) but i downloaded a new copy of hospital beds last night and the quality is MUCH better. i havent listened yet, but i already enjoyed it more. im not writing them off yet, just not really blown away. i feel the same about the annuals. my gf and i are splitting up the lolla lineup to preview as many bands as we can ;)

    Definitely cannot wait to see them live at Lolla, I hope they are as good as on their record. Quite fantastic in my opinion.

    They might have some faults, but being boring is definately not one of them. I think they are totally unique, which is a breath of fresh air these days. Granted, some of their songs sounds like they dropped some acid before they recorded them but at least they have a distinct voice and point of view. I think they're pretty interesting. Better than 90% of the crap that's being churned out lately.

    that's the thing, they didnt seem distinct to me. they seemed like most of the other piano pop people. i've only heard a few songs though. im not giving up yet.

    don't give up on them yet...i think seeing them live will help. they're should definitely not be categorized w/ gavin degraw...i've never heard him before, but it sounds like some howie day wanna-be ;)

    annuals must be seen in order to appreciate. they were fantastic when i saw them open for tapes 'n tapes. but i fall asleep when i try and listen to them at work.

    if you need a concert buddy for any of the bands...just let me know ;)
    yes...i do feel like a human. i do not feel like a tree.

    Good God....for the first time in a long time I listened to DeGraw's "Chariot" and then I come in here and read this???

    Psychic or psychotic...? ;)

    Keep digging into CWK...they will hook you. Just ask the girlfriend who, just this week, screamed at me that she can't get their tunes out of her head since I took her to one of their LA shows back in February.

    Hooked.

    and it was very good :)
    though I thought the crowd was rather lame.

    if anyone is interested, I can put my recording on Dime.
