So I'm over at amazon snooping around trying to find an ultra cheap copy of a record that I already have burned, as I'm apt to do, and I click on this one guy's Top 20 of 2006 list. Lot of the same stuff that we've seen on many a list here with the exception of this album. I can't quote his description, but it included "redneck", "alt.alt.county", and "calling God out". Can anyone enlighten me on this band?

I cannot enlighten you, but this sounds to me like the anti-16-horsepower.

Hellwood is Johnny Dowd, Jim White and Willie B…Holy shit how amazing would it be if it was Willie D from Geto Boys?

I have some Johnny Dowd solo and some Jim White solo, but no Hellwood. I meant to pick this up back in the fall, but I forgot.

I like the album...it barely missed my top 20 and part of that was probably that it had only a few listens to make an impression. I love Johnny Dowd though and he's not for everyone. This is more accessible than Dowd's solo work though.

Tentoze is a fan too. There's a thread out there from a few months ago with something about Halloween in the title. The Search function will reveal it. I never replied to after actually getting the album because FT was begging for a YSI so hard and I was too lazy to up it. :lol: The album is very good though. I couldn't predict whether its something you'd like or not though Mike. It doesn't scream your taste to me.

I'm curious- Do you actually have an idea of everyone's tastes in your mind, or is saved just someone you know about because he's been around a while. What's my taste?

I upped it for FT. Mebbe he can do the same for someone else. I'm going on 22 hours awake getting home from Belgium today, and can't perform simple tasks right now.

no...i don't have an idea of everyone's taste and I'm not saying Mike definitely wouldn't like it, he might...It just would seem out of place on any of the three or four mixes that Mike sent me over the years. I'd have to think about what your taste is...Hellwood doesn't scream Shmoo to me either though although I encourage everyone to check them out because Hellwood is very good.

What does scream Shmoo? Besides Castaways & Cutouts. So odd to think how you were pushing the Decemberists all those years ago and everyone was like "yeah, yeah, shut up."

I don't know...maybe the good life? It's probably easier to say Hellwood does scream Radcliffe, OldBullee, and Fu to me and do you share alot of similarities in taste with those guys? I'm not trying to buttonhole anyone and by all means check them out, I DO recommend them.

No, no, I'm not taking offense or anything. I'm just wondering how my tastes are perceived on the board.

I have no idea what those three like. I don't think I have much of an idea about many posters.

You know...i think I'm going to take back everything I said except that Hellwood is good and that there is a thread about them. I couldn't begin to predict whether Mike would like them or not and he should check them out. Blame it on happy hour beers.

I'd love to check them out. Just waiting on the mediafire from FT. :D

As far as grasping tastes of other boarders, some yes, some no. BillG is so diverse I could never nail him. Others are bowling right next to me, if you know what I mean.

Is FT sending it to you or are you reacting to Tentoze's call for him to send it to you?

I'll up it and send it to you and shmoo if not.

No, I was just reacting. It'd be great if you mediafired me.
