Manchester Orchestra are the Greatest Band in the World As I Write This~!!!!

Andy Hull & Co. = Manchester Orchestra Are The Best Band I Have Heard In The Last 5 Years At Least.. They Have Many Elements To Their Music & The Band Behind Him Is Ridiculous~
At times, I hear some Radiohead influence, I hear guitar work/bends that remind me of Rhinoceros, Mayonnaise or other early Smashing Pumpkins Masterpieces~ There are a few chords that bring Muse to mind, But the most startling fact is that Andy Hull sounds like Kurt Cobain's illegitimate son (If he had one, maybe he did;) mixed with early & balls out Conor Oberst~ I remember reading a review where they said that Conor was like "A Starving Robert Smith" & I checked into Bright Eyes right after that & he didn't dissappoint.. Unfortunately, Conor has turned into 50 Cent of late & actually sings about being a millionaire in his lyrics.. I also got to chill with them last time they were in town & even though Conor was so fucking down to earth & shockingly humble, his new band: The Mystic Valley Band are comprised of a bunch of assholes who think they are too cool for school even though my sorry ass who hasn;t even put out an album yet has close to 200,000 more plays on my site than any of them.. I hate to even type this because I'm not like that, but if Isaac Brock & Modest Mouse, Serj Tankien & System Of A Down, Chino Moreno & The Deftones & the very unique Sigur Ros (to name a few of the Musicians I have spent time with) are all cool enough to spend hours with me in A New Orleans Bar, Backstage in Atlanta or recently with Isaac Brock in Orlando & treat me like another artist & human being, I just understand how a bunch of kids who are just backing up an amazing Songwriter can be such fucking pricks.. He even gave them 2 tracks a piece on his latest album & Air Mattress is so fucking pathetic that I will never understand what Conor was thinking, but to the same extent, it shows what a great person he is..

The point of this rant is that: Andy Hull & Manchester Orchestra are by far the greatest band in America right now; right next to Modest Mouse of course~ Andy is an extremely wonderful songwriter and I know that he will be writing honest & astonishing music for years to come..
As I write the songs for my Debut Album, I am so grateful to Manchester Orchestra for giving me the inspiration to put even more into my songs & the whole concept behind them.

One day I will shake his hand & thank him, right before I go onstage to open a show for them & at that point, my life will be that much closer to being complete.

GO & SUPPORT THIS BAND & BUY BOTH OF THEIR ALBUMS~ THEY DESERVE IT~

Funny enough, my favorite Comedian I have found since David Cross about a Decade ago is the hilarious Zach Galifianakis & they are similar in their groundbreaking brilliance & they look similar as well with their long red beards.. My Irish roots make my beard grow a dark red as well; maybe I should grow it out & then I can be totally unoriginal (BEING UNORIGINAL IS SOMETHING THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN WITH MY MUSIC, WRITING & OTHER FORMS OF ARTISTIC EXPRESSION)

Just In Case The World Explodes In 42 Hours..

RIG 1 ALBUM OUT FROM TEAM LOVE IS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS. EMOTIONAL, AND THE M.C = IAN MCELROY MOS DEF FREESTYLE NEEDS NO REHEARSING.

ANY FRIEND OF MINE, ANY ONE THAT CAN'T STAND ME, EVERYONE THAT HAS NEVER MET ME - GO & ADD RIG 1 TO YOUR FRIENDS LIST & LISTEN TO "DAWN OF THE TINMAN" BEFORE PURCHASING THE DEBUT ALBUM FROM THIS GENIUS -

THERE IS NO REASON FOR ME TO SIT HERE AND TYPE THIS EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT THIS IS THE ALBUM OF THE YEAR. I COULD GIVE A FUCK LESS ABOUT WHAT I DO, BUT I WANT THIS BAND TO THRIVE AND GET INSIDE OF THE MINDS OF PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT PAYING ATTENTION TO THE WORLD OR LIFE IN GENERAL. I AM A MUSIC FANATIC & THERE ARE ONLY A HANDFUL OF ARTISTS THAT HAVE CHANGED MY PERCEPTION OF REALITY AND LITERALLY MADE ME A BETTER, STRONGER PERSON. ALL OF THOSE SAID ARTISTS ARE EXTREMELY SUCCESSFUL AND IF LISTENING TO THE DEBUT ALBUM FROM RIG 1 - ABOVE THE TREE LINE, WEST OF THE PERIODIC MAKES ME FEEL LIKE THERE IS A PURPOSE AND A REASON TO BE ALIVE, EVEN TO JUST BE LISTENING TO THE MUSIC, THAN I KNOW THAT ANY FAN OF TRULY AMAZING ARTISTS/LYRICISTS/POETS/PRODUCTION/MUSIC WILL BE BLOWN AWAY~

TAKE A COUPLE OF MINUTES & GO TO WWW.MYSPACE.COM/AKAFIGUREITOUT & ADD RIG 1 AS YOUR FRIEND & PASS THE WORD BECAUSE IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE UNIVERSE CATCHES ON & THEN IT WILL BE TOO LATE TO CATCH UP. IT IS A VERY IMPORTANT ALBUM.

NOT ONLY THAT, BUT HE IS THE COOLEST DUDE ALIVE & HAS WORKED HIS ASS OFF FOR THIS & I KNOW HOW THAT SHIT GOES, IT'S NOT ABOUT MONEY, IT'S NOT ABOUT FAME, IT'S JUST THE RESPECT THAT SOMEONE THIS BRILLIANT DESERVES.

SPREAD THE WORD TO ANYONE YOU KNOW.. PLEASE~~

THANK YOU IF YOU DO & THANK YOU IF YOU DON'T~

MERCi BEAUCOUP
