We should say at the outset that most rules serve some purpose. And there are rules here. Although they are broken with semi-regularity, they exist nonetheless. Adult beverages are mandatory. No more than a couple of takes. No more than a handful of tracks, including vox (such as they are). This process of course destroys many a hard-wrought song and melody, but the sweet outweighs the sour... Life has too few truly unguarded moments, what with posing and re-posing for your online picture and all. These are ours...

Feature at Lost At Sea. "With a voice that shape-shifts at every turn, Drunken Barn Dance's fantastic ability to sound so similar to so many established and revered musicians will likely be a blessing and a curse only for as long as it takes for Sellwood's material to make its own way into our subconscious, which it is sure to do in fairly short order."
"Raw, sparse and sometimes noisy music that shows much and tells all without any pretense. You'd have to try not to enjoy something so unfiltered and honest." -CURRENT - Eight greats of '08
A Winter's Tale single review at the truly awesome 7inches blog (11/18/2008).
"This wonderful collection of 13 airy, acoustic-driven songs incorporate footstomps, well-timed sleigh bells, hints of ambient distortion and the occasional harmonic soundscape that'd give Daniel Lanois wood. It's warm and willful; part back-porch melancholy, part open-road longing." -DETROIT METROTIMES
Ever wondered what to do in the event of a nuclear threat?
A while ago I found stuff that inspired me to make this film:
Living Under the Shadow of the Nuclear Umbrella
Both artistic (ensure you get the background music!) and educational, it primarily comprises official British government civil defence advice.
Though source materials are quite aged, much remains relevant today.

I didn't realize that I wanted to ask you guys if you had a CD I could buy until about twenty minutes after you guys had left. Also didn't know how bummed I was that I couldn't steal away to Houghton until the rest of the alcohol in my blood was gone. Sorry I missed it. Hope it went well. Drop me a line sometime, I need to buy a CD. (my computer's too old to do the download thing)
