Darkness on the Edge of Town

Neil, age 21 of Blacksburg, VA. I love listening to, playing, and writing music of all sorts, including folk, rock n' roll, blues, etc. I work underground so I love to get outside in the fresh air and play music. Hiking and being in nature are my passions. If there is anything you want to ask or say, go ahead. I love to learn new songs, so if there is something you like, please share it.

Joy Division. Wish we could have heard them evolve similarly to New Order but with Ian Curtis' influence.

These people round here Wear beaten down eyes sunk In smoke dried faces They're so resigned to what their fate is But not us But not us We are far too young and clever

Dexy's Midnight Runners, "Come On Eileen" Great lines, fantastic tune. Fun/ cheesy music video. And that build at the end- so triumphant! What more could you ask for?

"Hold Your Head Up", Argent.

Classic 70's perk-up song, with an inspiring message for women and a great organ solo

IT’S IN COLOUR?!?!?!

Classic rock fandom, the only fandom to get excited when a photo is in colour.

FUCKING COLORS THOUGH

Some fun, experimental blues from John.  "I don't wanna be a soldier, mama, I don't wanna die"

The music makes it easy to overlook how powerful this song is.

Come listen you fellows so young and so fine Seek not your fortune in the dark, dreary mine It will form as a habit and seep in your soul 'Til the stream of your blood runs as black as the coal

"Dark as a Dungeon"

Some men are searchin' for the Holy Grail But there ain't nothin' sweeter Than riding the rails

Tom Waits, "Cold Water"

I'm hiding in Honduras I'm a desperate man Send lawyers, guns, and money The shit has hit the fan

Warren Zevon

Always fun lyrics from Warren Zevon. RIP

One of the greatest American composers ever... been working my way through the Scott Joplin songbook and incorporating parts and chord changes into some jams with our band. So much fun!

A blackened shroud, a hand-me-down gown 

Of rags and silks, a costume 

Fit for one who sits and cries 

For all tomorrow's parties

Oh, had I a golden thread And a needle so fine, I'd weave a magic strand Of rainbow design. In it I'd weave the bravery Of women giving birth In it I would weave the innocence Of children o'er all the earth...

"Oh Had I A Golden Thread"

"Shoot Out At The Fantasy Factory" sounds like a really bad sci-f/ crime movie. Like the direct-to video love child of Blade Runner and Inception. Good album, not their best-- fun name, though.
