Bishop Allen

I stumbled on this band, Bishop Allen, and I love them. They have an album out, Charm School, and you can download several MP3s on thier site.Here are some sample lyrics for you:

And I tell you over and over and over again, my friend
That I’m down with you, even on the eve of destruction
And if this moment is gone in a flash
And my hand in yours becomes ash in ash
And everyone becomes just dust in the blast
At least this day will be our last
Maybe St. Peter won’t let us in
Saying heaven’s a place for the innocent
And we’ll have a dance, yeah a dance, on the head of a pin
And God will grin and shoo us away

Go buy Bishop Allen’s Charm School, you will love it.

    I was afraid Afraid of the emptiness Afraid of the silence Afraid of my ghosts Now they’re here We can share laughter Talk about old times It’s not so bad

    They are most decidely my favorites.

    And just like me You be whatever you want to be And see what ever you think you see And take whatever you like for free

    Rudder and Rice are my heroes

    New favorite band. Randomly heard them on NPR, now I can’t get enough. Go to their site, download their songs,buy their CD. Share with your friends. They’ll still buy the CD.
