2. Load up some Super8 or Super16 film, and go handheld.

So, to sum up, Zack like Neko Case, and artists who sound like her.
Zack 1:52 pm on 22 July 2008 Permalink
Quick, someone send an ambulance to Mike’s house. He’s fallen, and obviously hit his head.
If you think Priscilla Ahn sounds like Neko Case, you’ll probably love this band Slayer – they sound just like Michael W. Smith.
Erica 2:13 pm on 22 July 2008 Permalink
I really think Slayer peaked after Go West Young Man.
Ash 3:34 pm on 22 July 2008 Permalink
Erica, you are clearly mistaken. What about their killer single “Cross of Gold”? Man, do I have to do all the heavy lifting around here?
michael lee 3:46 pm on 22 July 2008 Permalink
Zack, listen to verse one of “In California” and then listen to verse 1 of this tune again. Same lilt when they flip up to the high notes.
Chris 4:05 pm on 22 July 2008 Permalink
First of all, Mike, with all due respect, you’re off your rocker. No way, man. No way.
Second of all, holy crap. That was outstanding. The beauty is in the simplicity. So much so, in fact, that I decided to come out of my lurking shadows and actually post up.
Good choice, Zach.
Chris 4:15 pm on 22 July 2008 Permalink
Having given both songs a listen to one more time, I still have to disagree. Sorry.
Zack 4:58 pm on 22 July 2008 Permalink
There you go, Mike. Chris has taken out his giant throbbing musical member, and pummeled you with it.
Muuaaah ha ha ha!!!!!!!!
Zack 4:58 pm on 22 July 2008 Permalink
…once again, we wait to see what Google AdSense does with that comment. Yikes….

Chris’ hobby is disagreeing with me. I think the last time, it was over which A was “A 440″. By the time we had finished, he was disagreeing with me, wikipedia, our engineering handbook, and a spectroscope analyzer. Having Chris on your side is nothing to cheer about.
Zack 7:51 pm on 22 July 2008 Permalink
OK, fair enough. Find me ONE other person who thinks Priscilla Ahn sounds like Neko Case, and I’ll buy you a beer. A warm MIller High Life, but a beer nonetheless.
michael lee 12:35 am on 23 July 2008 Permalink
I can’t help it if nobody on earth shares my finely tuned musical sensibilities. That’s the world’s handicap, not mine.
Chris 2:06 am on 23 July 2008 Permalink
At least I have dedication.
Harumph…
Bobby 9:16 am on 23 July 2008 Permalink
Exactly the same… Now Mike owes me a beer.
Neko Case? Wasn’t he in Slayer before Kerry King and David Huff?

Ex-members of Houseblend are not eligible for the Free Beer Sweepstakes.
michael lee 9:40 am on 23 July 2008 Permalink
There’s no “ex” anything of Houseblend. As far as Rockettown Records is concerned, they’re still a band, RTR still owns their butts, and if they ever perform together again under that name, all income will immediately be confiscated to help pay off the $3 million catering tab they ran up while recording their first album.
Zack 9:56 am on 23 July 2008 Permalink
Oh yeah? Well, current Houseblend members are more than welcome to enjoy said Free Beer!
michael lee 10:11 am on 23 July 2008 Permalink
Nope. Rockettown has all free beer rights too. They signed a really, really crappy deal.
Zack 10:14 am on 23 July 2008 Permalink
Ooooh, bummer. Sorry, Bobby.
Chad 3:38 pm on 23 July 2008 Permalink
Strangely, recently I discovered and then wore an old Houseblend T-Shirt around the… umm.. house.
Zack 3:57 pm on 23 July 2008 Permalink
I’m willing to pay twenty American dollars for a large Houseblend shirt. Anyone? I’m sure there’s a cache of them somewhere.
michael lee 5:07 pm on 23 July 2008 Permalink
In Michael W. Smith’s garage.
Bobby 10:02 am on 24 July 2008 Permalink
Lemme check when I get home… I think there’s one laying around. However, it may or may not have been used when we ran out of kitty litter.
If only Smitty knew just how much alcohol he bought Houseblend… (thank you, non-itemized receipts!)
Chad 10:49 am on 24 July 2008 Permalink
Now…
Does he own Reunion? I thought that was Blanton Harrell…
Bobby 9:32 am on 28 July 2008 Permalink
By “own” do you mean “own” or “keep solvent by being the only profitable artist”?
Chad 9:42 am on 28 July 2008 Permalink
Ha!
I heart Bobby. For awhile I was pretty sad to not be a part of The Daily Planet Experience.
Then…
Not so much.

[...] This is my new favorite song. Absolutely beautiful from Priscilla Ahn. The whole album is just as good. (ht) [...]

right back atcha.
Chad 9:40 pm on 29 July 2008 Permalink
I still have fondness for you as the lone dissenting voice in that whole thing. I remember looking at Marisa and thinking… “You’re next, sweetie.”
"Lone Dissenting Voice" 7:14 am on 31 July 2008 Permalink
If I misremeber correctly, that’s how I’m credited on the record.
