Rainy Monday

It's not my intention to get anyone depressed, I know we should be happy that it's a cloudy rainy day in Austin, and that finally, after months of drought, we got a few inches of water from the skies.

I can't help feel however, that this song fits perfectly with the grey, rainy day ahead of us.

Like "Behold the Hurricane," this song showcases a really gripping performance. It also speaks to how good a video can be when you keep it simple and beautiful.

I couldn't help also show you guys his first video out of the same album for the song titled "Charon." It's so good. Again, please don't shoot yourselves...

Behold the Hurricane

Brian Fallon, lead singer/songwriter for The Gaslight Anthem just started a side project called Horrible Crowes. It definitely feels darker and heavier than Gaslight while still retaining that New Jersey/Springsteen vibe that they're famous for.

Their first album, Elsie, came out September 6th. The single is called Behold the Hurricane and the video features Joseph Mawles (of Game of Thrones!!!) going through a pretty awful breakdown. It's shot beautifully and his performance is riveting... It actually makes me want to see him acting in something other than Thrones.
