This past weekend Band of Horses' Benjamin Bridwell told the NY Times what's rocking his iPod these days: Dr. Dog, Chad VanGaalen, Grandaddy, Chamillionaire, Ghostface Killah, and Stereogum faves DeVotchKa.
We?ve been listening to Curse Your Little Heart on tour constantly. ... The singing is so good and bizarre, but it?s attention grabbing. Sometimes that kind of stuff can take a while to warm up to, but we took right to it. It almost feels like you?ve heard the songs before.
(Psst ... Ben, it's a covers album.)
No matter, we're all for DeVotchKa shoutouts. Stereogum saw 'em live two times last month.
The gypsy rockers are about to reach the masses with Jonathon Dayton & Valerie Faris' Little Miss Sunshine. DeVotchKa scored the film.
Today Stereogum presents the premiere of the band's Sunshiney video for "'Til The End Of Time." I attempted multiple times (on multiple computers) to upload to YouTube, but the audio/video was not synched. Does that ever happen to anyone? What causes that?
Since it's a road trip movie, Fox Searchlight is doing a screening at the Vineland Drive-In tomorrow. If you come in a VW bus you get a $500 gas card!
Little Miss Sunshine hits theaters on Wednesday.
