Yeehaw!
Happy Brad!

The current Billboard mag with Carter, Dave, Stefan and Boyd on it. So weird not seeing LeRoi with them.

A still from a photo shoot to promote BW&TGK.

Dave sporting the longer hair. I likes.

New DMB album overload. Brad's head... about to explode!

Awesome.

Are they including a cover or two from the show you saw?

I hope they do. They have not released a track list yet.

Funny The Way It Is

Lying in the park on a beautiful day
The sunshine in the grass
And the children play
Sirens passing fire engine red
Someone's house is burning down
On a day like this

The evening comes and we're hanging out
On a front step and a car goes by
With the windows rolled down
And that war song is playing
Why can't we be friends
Someone is screaming and crying
In the apartment upstairs

Funny the way it is
Make you think about it
Somebody's going hungry
And someone else is eating out
Funny the way it is
Not right or wrong
Somebody's heart is broken
And it becomes your favorite song

The way your mouth feels in your lover's kiss
Like a pretty bird on the breeze
Or water to a fish
The bomb blast brings the building crashing to the floor
Hear the laughter
While the children play war

Funny the way it is
Make you think about it
One kid walks ten miles to school
An others dropping out
Funny the way it is
Not right or wrong
A soldiers last breath
His baby's being born

Standing on a bridge
Watch the water passing underneath
It must have been much harder
When there was no bridge just water
Now the world is small
Compared to how it use to be
With mountains and oceans
And winters and rivers and stars

Funny the way it is
Make you think about it
One kid walks ten miles to school
An others dropping out
Funny the way it is
Not right or wrong
A soldiers last breath
His baby's being born

Funny the way it is
Not right or wrong
Somebody's broken heart
And it becomes your favorite song
Funny the way it is
Make you think about it
One kid walks ten miles to school
An others dropping out

Standing on a bridge
Watch the water passing underneath
It must have been much harder
When there was no bridge just water
Now the world is small
Compared to how it use to be
With mountains and oceans
And winters and rivers and stars

New DMB CD is out today.
Going to pick it up at lunch.
Can't wait.
So very happy!

I never noticed this thread before. GC, so nice to hear from a fellow DMB fan who was there at Staples the night they bid LeRoi farewell. So sad... They'll always be great, but never the same. I'm finally dragging The Wife out to the Gorge to see them this year. It's been years since I've been able to make it to the Gorge gig, and I'm sooooo looking forward to it. It'll be weird not hearing LeRoi, but I'll still hear his work in my mind as the songs play on.

Can't wait to hear the new stuff! I'm going to have to mosey on over to iTunes and check it out.

Just been happily listening away to the new DMB. Big Whiskey and the Groogrux King is their best album since Busted Stuff. It's fun, it's sad, it jams.

A couple of the stand out tracks are:
"Shake Me Like a Monkey" - they are on fire in this song, Lessard is the bomb
"Why I Am" - a tribute to LeRoi (the Groogrux King)
"Time Bomb" - it's about rage, it's about letting it all out, it's powerful
"Funny the Way It Is" - commentary on the world, not bad
"Squrim" - Dark and lovely.

The CD starts off with a LeRoi Moore intro that slam bangs into Monkey. Totally good stuff.

I watched DMB on Jimmy Fallon. They were great. In good form. Dave looking as hot as ever, sounding as loony as ever, too. Love him!
