One of my favorite singer-songwriters. I've seen him 5 times in the past two years, including two "living room" shows. His journey from Christian indie rock hero to nonbeliever has been fascinating, but regardless of his spiritual state he writes thoughtful, beautiful music. |

Love Bazan. Been following him since the Whole EP first showed up in the Christian music store I worked at in high school. He just keeps getting better. The Lo Tom record he just put out is great too. What's Harmless Sparks? New band? New Headphones album? |

"Harmless Sparks" is one of my favorite tracks off of his first full-length solo album, "Curse Your Branches." Agree about Lo Tom. It's fantastic. Love this track. |

Oh, duh. CYB is the album I've spent the least amount of time with. I think that's his "breaking up with Christianity" record. He went through that about two years after I did and I was just over it at the time. I should go back and revisit it. Probably my fav Bazan song: |

RE: you working at a Christian music store. The idea of Christian book and music stores playing those last two Pedro records over their in-house speaker system always made me laugh. To me, those are more anti-Christianity records than anything. |

To me, those are more anti-Christianity records than anything. I was long gone by then, but at the store I worked at we couldn't even play anything with lyrics unless it was straight praise and worship music. |

This guy's from Denton, right? Really surprised I've never given his music a real listen. Indian Summer has made it onto a few of my playlists over the years. Giving the album It's Hard To Find A Friend a chance today on the theory that most lo-fi indie music produced in the late 90s is stereo gold. |

He's from Seattle, by way of PHX. You may be thinking about Damien Jurado. He spent a couple of years in Denton and has a great song called "Denton, TX." He and Bazan are old friends. |

Yeah, probably so. I had a friend from Denton that liked both of those guys a lot. Liking this album btw. |

I'd love to host one of his house shows. Ranch houses kinda suck for that, though. |

I've thought about it too. We get a ton of living room shows here because most of his family lives in and around PHX still. |

Probably my favorite track from "Blanco." Lyrics are stellar. White light Maybe time to go Surrounded by all my love Dozing off Persuaded by My mother's fear Deathbed sinner's prayer Fingers crossed I will not lay in bed With a wheel turning in my head Trying to figure out the spread Of someone else's bet Dinner's on the table Your mother's at the door Kids are watching TV You never needed me more You never needed me more You never needed me more Telephone is ringing Bill collectors buy and sell I may not be in heaven But you're in hell Okay, I'll lay here a little while If you promise to run our history through my head When my horizon flipped Started making lists And I'm never gonna rest in peace In your debt |

The main riff from "Covered Wagon" was stuck in my head on a loop all weekend. So good. |

My favs are Pedro's "Control," the "Headphones" album and his solo record, "Blanco." I'd probably start with those. Early Pedro is basically acoustic "emo." I think lots of people have avoided his stuff because of the "Christian music" label. I'm an atheist and avoid his stuff for a while, but his themes are pretty universal to all human beings. |

Live clips are starting to pop up from Lo Tom's extremely short August tour: Covered Wagon Lower Down |
