Surprisingly passionate response to the news that Nickel Creek broke up. But even if you're not remotely into bluegrass, you might be curious to hear Chris's How to Grow a Woman from the Ground for its White Stripes and Strokes covers. Here's the latter.

Blank Dogs are actually singular: It's the insanely prolific one-man Brooklyn-based band of Mr. Blank Dog. We don't know too much about the biography of the guy behind the bedroom new-wave pop/punk and he's usually covering his face with masks...

Pushing Noel off a stage in Toronto might bruise the erstwhile Oasis mouthpiece's ribs (maybe even his spirits) and cause the band to cancel a show or two, but nothing can stop the slow procession toward a new Oasis album....

He and his new band played a solid two hours the other night. Great stuff, and the closing cover of "Morning Bell" was amazing.
The full record is streaming at CMT, BTW:

Would love to hear the former!

Amazing. I love music. And going from rock to bluegrass and having the song still kick ass is one of the reasons why.
Score = 0
Reasons why? Others have excuses. I have my reasons why.
Okay, this track isn't bad. But goddamnit Chris Thile, get back together with the old band. Sniffle sniff.

nickel creek did a cover of pavement's "spit on a stranger" on their 2nd album

wow, good job chris. i've been a casual fan of nickel creek over the years - just beautiful music. wish him luck on his solo projects!
Score = 0
weird, i saw this guy Tom Brusseau play last night and he did 'how to grow a woman from the ground'and he'd mentioned Nickel Creek but i'd assumed it was his song cause it's also on his album too which i bought after the show cause he's GREAT. so yeah...

The original is waaaaay better. Seriously. Heart in a Cage is not meant to be a folksy song.
Score = 0
Chris is pretty fool proof with me. I don't care for the Strokes (I think they're kinda overrated) but I like this song a lot.
Score = 0
Thile is a virtuoso...and it seems that he is really coming into his own as a crossover-talent now that NC has broken up.
Score = 0
This cover is great. "Spit On A Stranger" comes nowhere near this. Thanking.
Score = 0
I've been playing the shit out of this song since you posted it, much thanks. I think it's brilliant. Guess you kinda have to dig some bluegrass to really appreciate it. Can I get a shout out for Old Crow?
Score = 0
Wow! That was good! Brilliant!

First off everybody, Nickel Creek went on haitus, they didn't "break up". There is a difference. Second, Chris Thile's new cd is amazing.

I think that it is a shame that such great, pure, clean and decent music could be ruined by such SHAMLESS profanity -----Sickening
