Come Home, Tim Riggins

I know I am not the only 30-something man that watches Friday Night Lights. Redbrown got me on it in the first place. Little confession: I have a slight man crush on Tim Riggins. Not on the actor that plays Tim. On the character Tim, the 19 year old, washed up, ex Dillon Panther runningback in cowboy boots and western shirts, who steals copper, steals hearts, and goes to jail and takes the fall for his brother.

Explosions in the Sky provides music for both the FNL movie and series. I love the intro to the show, and even though we DVR FNL at the Yo household, I make Keri listen to the opening credits (without looking it up, I think it is Your Hand in Mine).

EITS has a new album out. Pitchfork calls it 'more of the same.' I am OK with more of the same.

Texas Forever.

Songs that remind me of other songs/bands that remind me of other bands

There is a TV on the Radio song that, every time I hear it on my iPod, makes me wonder when keriyo loaded Coldplay to my iTunes account. Still haven’t figured what about this song makes me think of Coldplay, but every time shuffle pulls it up, I am reminded of Chris Martin. Then I look down and the album art reminds me that I am way off.

TV on the Radio: Halfway Home.

Carl Rob’s recent Best Of compilation has a song by Tokyo Police Club that instantly reminded me of Wild Sweet Orange. Again, scratching my head as to why.

Tokyo Police Club: Breakneck Speed

Wild Sweet Orange: Ten Dead Dogs

This one isn’t a far stretch, since they are basically the same band, and I can’t really tell one from the other.

Explosions in the Sky. Your Hand in Mine

This Will Destroy You. The World is Our ___
