Remember about our Podcast? I just finished editing a new one with the new mic, and I have to say the mic-thing isn't working out so hot. You can barely hear me, and I just realize how noisy my monster computer is (it has a ton of fans!)

There is only one topic on #17, which are excerpts from an interview with LittleHorse, a band that we featured a while back. The whole interview is quite long, and I apologize for cutting more than half of the interview, but I'm trying to keep the podcast to under 10 minutes.

Some of the interviews that I had to leave on the cutting floor was that they mentioned that Strangers In The Valley (2007) took them five years to record.  Also that their first records were The Beatles and Mister B (boogie!)

They also really really love the band Jellyfish.

Let me know if you enjoy this new format, instead of having three topics, we're just focusing on one topic.

During the editing of the show, I fell in love with their song "Tell Me What You'd Say (2007 Remake)", which suspiciously sounds very Ben Folds-ish.

Anyroad, my next podcast, I'm trying to shoot for January 26th.

LittleHorse - I Want Your Love (Radio Edit) 5 comments LittleHorse - Flight of the Bumblebee

Discography [2000] Perils and Thrills [2002] The Mission Before Us [Oct 2007] Strangers in the Valley Band Members ♥ Joachim "Yo" Horsley ♥ E Horsle

LittleHorse bill themselves as 'America's only double-piano rock band', but I like Boston Globe's assessment better: 'Manhattan Transfer duelling with Queen in the Latin Quarter'. Comprised of two New York brothers, E and Jo 'Yo' Horsley, LittleHorse combines truly impressive piano playing (their duelling version of Flight Of The Bumblebees, deserves your time, if for the passive-aggressive janitor alone) with a really eclectic, boogie-woogie sensibility. And yes, there is a lot of piano involved. Think something you'd find in a cool honky-tonky dive bar- the occasional trumpets, a Latin/cabaret flavour and shades of Ben Folds or Billy Joel on the ivories, with elements of Yes and Jellyfish to taste. Plus they take song inspiration from places like Sherlock Holmes, Bonnie & Clyde and Star Wars- 'I Want Your Love' is based loosely on the Odyssey. It's bouncy melodic rock which doesn't take itself seriously.

They've just released a new album, Strangers In The Valley, available through iTunes and CDBaby, but beyond the release concert for that in October, concert dates appear to be thin on the ground, which is a pity. Sometimes you just get the feeling that a band would be good live, and this is one of those times- despite the problems that would probably come from touring with two pianos.
