 Post subject: this should go in pressPosted: Mon Jul 11, 2005 5:52 pm 
but... this is convenient. http://www.pastemagazine.com/action/article?article_id=1899 Some of you might know Palmer. He used to live in Dallas and go to Eisley shows back in the day. He just got back from schooling in England, came to the Eisley show in New Orleans and wrote this for Paste; he works with those guys a lot. btw. Paste is a great magazine. You should check it out. boyd _________________ EisleyWebGuy "The industrialists never saw the fruit of their own labor - Post Moderism, which I now proclaim as dead.

hey boyd thanks! i already read this and i thought it was a great review! really, right on, and one of the better ones i'd read. i think there is another topic about this here. But your link is much more direct, so thank you very much! Hope all is well, Dana edit: i just wanted to point out, if no one wants to read the whole thing, at least read the last paragraph, i think its great... oh, i'll just quote it on here! Quote: What J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis did in literature a half-century ago, Eisley seeks to do in popular music today. Tolkien and Lewis used fantasy as an alternative to the abstruse landscape of literary modernism. They wanted to tell big stories through simple means. Likewise, Eisley tries this approach amidst a musical culture that's similarly detached. Hinging on allegorical storytelling like its literary influences, the band—not much older than children—works through fairy-tale imagery like gumdrops and even dragons without being childish at all. Time will tell if they succeed. I think that is right on and very well written. Not to mention such a compliment! Compared to Lewis and Tolkien!

I loved everything but the last line: Quote: Time will tell if they succeed. If touching lives around the world counts, we have a winner. _________________ Believe/Verim VK #16/SM |
