Exit Sounds review on LMNOP.com

Josh Preston's Exit Sounds received a stellar review on LMNOP.com!! To quote a bit: "Mr. Preston's songs sound like an odd cross between a more accessible Sufjan Stevens and a soft folkie version of Bob Pollard (Guided By Voices)". Pretty sweet!

MATM Video of the Week (4.14.08)

Those of you that know me know that I'm a pretty huge Death Cab for Cutie fan. I've spent so much seeing them live that I probably could have gone for that MBA. Oh well. Here's the video for their new single entitled "I Will Possess Your Heart". This track is not well suited for the feeble pop patron. It goes without saying that not many pop songs kick off with a 4 minute intro but in this case - it totally works. I'd love to know the feelings from others about this song so please feel free to comment!! - JP

I really should have mowed the lawn today. I mean seriously. My neighbors are starting to give me dirty looks. Instead, I've been inside making this. Please listen and vote via the widget below.
