I can’t leave Columbus without giving proper respect to the Columbus bands heading out to the festival this year:
“Moviola are that rare and notoriously unstable entity?a band whose identity is the blurry combination of five individual voices, rather than a kingpin or two and their helpers. (What’s more…) they’ve sidestepped the traps and girdles of the alt-country nation?or any other tribe?in favor of forging their own route, casually beautiful and always believable.” — David Greenberger (NPR)
MP3: Hitched | Kew Garden Hills
“Just when you thought there weren’t enough guys named Jerry making interesting music, out pops this old-fashioned death-folk five-piece helmed by Jerry DeCicca … “Who Will Walk In The Darkness With You?” is a distinguished anthem for the slow procession of late afternoons spent in a rotting cabin worrying about the overdue rent, as well as spiritual debt.” — William Bowers, Pitchfork
“While it took Two Cow?s rocking forebearers, acts like the Drive-By Truckers and Old 97s, many years of recording to hit this kind of stride, Two Cow has put themselves on equal footing with those alt.country-rock luminaries in just three years and two albums.” — The Onion

I’ve been enjoying this blog for SXSW updates.
One thing on the Two Cow Garage quote:
It wasn’t from Onion. I actually wrote it for ARTVOICE back in November 2004.
Have fun at SXSW. If I run into you, I’ll buy you a beer.
