OK, so I'm still obsessed with Josh Ritter. They just published the schedule for Bonnaroo and Josh Ritter is one of the first artists on the first day. WOO-HOO. Dave Mathews plays until midnight on Friday and The Mars Volta plays from midnight-4AM on Friday night/Saturday morning. Check it out here http://www.bonnaroo.com/2005/ at the schedule link on the artist lineup section.
Here's a link to a video of one of my favorite songs. The video itself is pretty bad--some art school attempt to make a boring visual subject look cool through odd lighting and focus techniques. But the song is GREAT!!! "Kathleen"
Some of my favorite lines from him are...
"All the other girls here are stars, you are the Northern Lights."
"Every heart is a package tangled up in knots someone else tied."
"oh the heart has no bones you say so it won’t break
but the purpose of loving is the pounding it takes"
"don’t stand so close to me
don’t be another tragedy
I’ve burned everybody who had a hand to lend
a man burning at both ends"
"I’d rather be the one who loves than to be loved and never even know"
"I’m singing for the love of it—have mercy on the man who sings to be adored"
