Listening Assignments for 2.12.07
3. The Shivers - Half Invisible - Some really great things going on in this song throughout. Creative low string sections, a marching beat, slide guitars and sing-a-longs. Folkalicious. [from Phone Calls|buy]
4. Virgil Shepard Walters - Ghetto Blastin' - You might hate this song. It's definitely unpolished and strange. But maybe, just maybe, you'll click play and it'll be weird and funny and you'll find yourself pressing play again later on, maybe singing it to yourself at work. It sounds like a 20something small-town lad blastin' off like he's all hard. Hard, I tell you. [from Solid South|buy]

Ghetto Blastin' actually reminds me a lot of a group called "Why?" and if you haven't checked them out and you liked this, check out Elephant Eyelash.
He was actually 17 at the time he recorded Ghetto Blastin'
Has Virgil Shepard Walters vanished now?
