Hey thanks. Awesome, just awesome.
Have you heard Jeff Finlin? "...Dominated by themes of love and betrayal, death and rebirth, the characters in Finlin's sordid little tales are always leaving -- leaving bad relationships, leaving good relationships, even leaving this mortal vale. If songs like "The Perfect Mark of Cain" or "Waiting on a Flood" seem hopelessly dark, Finlin also imbues Original Fin with the light of faith and..." (snippet from emusic review) Perfect Mark of Cain blew me away when I first heard it a few days ago. Also, I like the group Murder By Death - someone may have already mentioned them. Some of Chris Knight's stuff is pretty dark, too.

i'm diggin jeff finlin, though some of his stuff is alittle too ambient to me

now chris knight on the other hand is a subject i'm well versed in,....for some years now his 'it aint easy bein me' has been a standard in the texas country circles
i've adopted 'framed' as one of my own personal anthems

youre right, chris can get alittle dark, but in a very beautiful poetic way, and thats why i love about him,...after all all you really need is love and a .45
