I am all over the Mates of State album. I always love the Beatles, Stones, Marley, Ray Charles, Paul Simon, Tom Petty ....it goes on and on. I can't get enough of Elliot Smith's "From a Basement On The Hill". Matt Costa, Ray Lamontagne, Amos Lee, Citizen Cope, Guster, Building Rockets. There is so much amazing music out there and not enough time. If it moves me -- I dig it.

A mixture of "this" and "that," but comprising mostly of "this." Hope you like it.

on We All Need Lies, the compelling solo debut by singer/songwriter Mark
Gaignard & The Also Ran, the former longtime frontman for Gainesville,
Florida band Big Sky lyrically sketches a fictional character that closely
resembles a blunt snapshot of his life as a rocker.
"It's about a midtime warrior who never quite made
it big," he says, "but now he's out of the band, an also ran hanging
out at the bar with no career and just enough hope to survive, like he did
before he started shooting for the stars."
"Midtime" is an ironic phrase coined by Ben Rowell, Gaignard's former
bandmate in Big Sky who is the founder of Backspace Records, a newly formed,
Atlanta based label that released We All Need Lies 10 2008. It means that while the band was a local
legend in Gainesville - where the group formed when its members were all students
at the University of Florida in the early 90s - and did over 1,600 gigs over
the course of 12 years, they still never hit the big time. Read

I will be there in Jax Fla on the 20th of Feb!!!!!!!!! I missed the last reunion...so...wild horses couldn't drag me away.....someone should use that line in a song!
How was the show on Friday? I didn't go to Gainesville (and since the Gators lost, I am glad I didn't) and so I watched the debate instead. Are you reeling in a new breed of fans? I think my fav song on your CD is "Parade".
