jug band
i got so busy over the weekend that i didn’t get a chance to post the drawing i did for friday’s drawergeeks. i present to you, the mullets!
the subject was rednecks, but i think mine came out a little bit more hillbilly then redneck. i’m actually a big fan of jug band music. there’s a wonderful earthy energy to it all. big fan of the banjo too.
in the spirit of music, this feels like a good time to list what my ten favorite albums that came out in 2007 were. they may not have been the best albums, but they were the ones i found myself listening to the most often. listed in semi-particular order, with no linking because linking takes too long.
- Sunset Rubdown - Random Spirit Lover
- Radiohead - In Rainbows
- Arcade Fire - Neon Bible
- Bloc Party - A Weekend in the City
- Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Baby 81
- David Crowder Band - Remedy
- Modest Mouse - We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank
- Kings of Leon - Because of the Times
- Deas Vail - All The Houses Look The Same
- Travis - The Boy with No Name
if your favorite album is not on there, it means i did not hear it or it’s number eleven.

I didn’t know there was a big hillbilly redneck difference. This is quite a fancy illustration regardless. :) Good music picks too!

thanks sarah! yeah- i’m not sure if there is. i always saw hillbillies as more jolly then rednecks, but maybe that’s just because of their silly name. i mean how did that come about.? some one was billing a hill one day?
thanks, bryan! uh… mika’s #11. ;)
