Hi all.

I'm sorry to be a lazy jerk by pasting a link to my LiveJournal, but I'm working on barely any sleep and don't feel like reformatting everything. So if you'll kindly meet me over there to learn how you can rock the vote to help out your favorite dork rock power duo, I'd really appreciate it.

Muchas gracias!

They're a trio, and are honestly three of the best musicians I've heard. Dan Kauffman (their lead singer & bass player) was up for Best Lead Singer the year I won. He shouldda won). Their albums are wonderful, but when they play live, you cannot believe the crap they pull off. Dan's voice is just amazing-- so damn accurate, crystal clear, and really expressive. And he sings like that while jumping around the stage and playing bass like Geddy. They're actually a duo now; their award-winning guitarist Ben moved to Austin last year. Even as a duo, they are KILLER. Anytime you can see them (which I know is impossible), I recommend it. I should try to put together a show that has Glim Dropper and Angela Sheik on it, and then give you a gift certificate for babysitting for you so you can come.

If you have a good place (and the time and required headspace) to listen to a quiet song, I recommend "Another One" off their latest album "Heartsick Phenomenon" (which I voted for Album of the Year). (https://glimdropper.bandcamp.com/track/another-one)

If you want something more upbeat, I'd go with either:
[] "The Last Days of Analog" which is the title track of their EP from two years ago (https://glimdropper.bandcamp.com/album/last-days-of-analog)
[] Shanghai, which is off of their current album, Heartsick Phenomenon (https://glimdropper.bandcamp.com/track/shanghai)
[] Matt recommends "Strangelove" which is a really fun, complex-but-still-fun tune, also off of Heartsick Phenomenon. (https://glimdropper.bandcamp.com/track/strangelove)

Or, you can catch a stolen moment captured at the end of a gig where Dan just picks up an acoustic guitar and covers King of Pain. *swoooon* (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAMug-TsKOQ)

Really. I love these guys so much.

ps: I had no idea I couldn't post html markup in replies. Nutty!
Who are these Glim Dropper guys? You picked them over Angela Sheik once and over Joe Trainor a few times ... I was surprised. They must be really good. What song should I listen to if I want to be impressed?
