Light a lantern at the bar
Well, well, well. The Metro Times music issue is out today, and check out who got the cover: none other our favorite Mitten State tall tale tellers Great Lakes Myth Society.
The issue on a whole is a much-needed print chronicle of the current state of Southeastern Michigan music, and also features the first installment of a new Metro Times feature called Grapeshot, which is a rundown of recent local releases. A recommended jumping-off point for anyone who thinks Just Haircuts and Jackets' coverage is too shallow (and a good place for us to find out about stuff, too — I need to get my hands on this A-plus-worthy PAS/CAL EP).
Also, if there's any doubt that Metro Times music editor Johnny Loftus is anything less than the finest sound-analyzing voice in the area, peep the last graf from his GLMS write-up: "And whatever you do, don't call Great Lakes Myth Society soft. Remember, James Monger has wrestled lampreys."
Wrestling lampreys. Hell yeah.

P.S. I hope you saw the 2 unreleased tracks available for download on the left sidebar... get em while you can.
Also, the Pas/Cal EP can be streamed on their website.
Ahhhh!!!! "Heydays" is on there! Everyone needs to listen to that song because it is a fantastic source for names of things on the Internet — and a good song to boot.
yAre you hip to Ann Arbor's Benoit Pioulard? Dude's new record is so damned good... I had heard some of his previous stuff on myspace, and it was good, but this is really fucking good.
