I like to think of The Miles as a blistering and fiery cosmic flame streaking through the night sky at warp 9.997, and me as a time-traveling pirate in a fresh, pink mini-skirt crying myself to sleep every night during the Reagan administration.
Its this kind of oxymoronic relationship that patterns The Miles' elusive wit and musical boundary-bending.
Not really, but kind of.
It's like when you just listen to some songwriting rock band and think to yourself: "I grew up with some of the same records as these kids". So, it's like that and it's nicely done, and nowhere, ANYWHERE IN ANY MILES SONG WILL YOU HEAR "THINKING" AND "DRINKING" PLACED IN RHYME. GUARANTEED!
Certain rules exist for a reason.
Ok, some music writers have praised the songwriting as both unique AND quality. They have also praised the band for a sweet, tasteful delivery completely free of any "stage moves".
Fake passion just looks stupid.
Best way to know for yourself is to download some songs, come to a show, or just browse the pictures section while your boyfriend is sleeping.

Just saw your comment. Will tell the girls. We have been running around like crazy. michelle just got her masters, went down there. she leves for africa in a couple of weeks. Angela and alec are leaving on tour this week. alec just graduated from sac. state. and savannah is 16 tomorrow, so we are in santa cruz with her. i am at a coffee shop standing up against a wall on a free computer right now. she and her friend are crusing downtown santa cruz.
wow, congratulations!!! Great hearing from you... On these HOT days it reminds me to tell you that we have a nice cool pool and a nice hot bbq here waiting for friends to come on by.... open invitation.. anyday anytime...
The best thing I got from my first marriage was my mother-in-law, believe it or not (well, it's a toss up between her and my 16 year old son, but right now I'd say it's her) and now she is dying from leukemia. That is why I am so very sad.
Coincidentally, I was just at Ryan Smith's having my laptop fixed, and your name came up. (It's a small town after all, it's a small small town)
Yeah i wanna see pictures of her outfit!!!! Lol when she told me she was the cat in the hat i laughed so hard. :) but she is beautiful so she can pull it off =D
Doing great! Work is keeping me busy. My bro is never here so it's kinda like living by myself. As you can tell my sleeping schedule is not the norm but I don't have to work tomorrow so I fight sleep like a kid that won't go to bed. New life is scary but I welcome it.
Re your 'About The Miles' .. I do not have a boyfriend, but I DO view your pics late in the night. Re the last sentence: I detect early signs of gynecomastia in this 'brocky' fellow, pls inform said member.
