(or may have been caught) listening to Eisley.

In my case: at 2000 metres, in the Swiss mountains, with curious cows nudging me and licking my hands. I hope the cows got addicted to Texan indie! Maybe it will help 'em make better milk lol.

You would have been less exotic had been Sigur Ros or Mum. Anyways, great place to spread the word (or the sound?) Laughing

when I went on a ship in the Pacific, "lost at sea" was a constant I played. Nothing really that cool.

Evacuating due to Hurricane Rita en route to Mansfield, Lousiana (which provided the perfect Eisley "dreamy" landscape: trees, cool weather, open country, luscious!)

Good times.

I listened to Eisley a lot when we were driving through the mountains in Alaska about 2 years ago. It was wonderful, especially "Over The Mountains." Smile

Hey, I evacuated Rita too (a grueling friggin 16 hour drive). Don't recall playing Eisley. I remember Kings of Leon, Boards of Canada, and Joy Electric being on heavy roto though.

I made it a point to listen to Eisley in strange places like the mountains of rural China and walking around Beijing, as well as playing it for friends in Germany and family in China.

Eisley should be world-wide! I wonder if they still have that seemingly large Malaysian following. That was cool.

We had very long bus rides in the jungles of El Salvador, and I distinctly remember spinning Room Noises a few times on that trip.

people have said this already, but
listening to "Over the Mountains" while driving through mountains =
fantastic

this is like totally out of nowhere, but

i have this memory of last year, thanksgiving time,
i was at my lakehouse, and we were driving through the mountains around there,
and i associate that song so much with that visual
it made me feel really calm and happy.
i love that memory.

k, back on topic. sorry.

A couple weeks ago in Yemen, when I was scared out of my mind that the villa we were staying in was being broken into, I was listening to Eisley and Paramore on my iPod.

And out in the desert too; good dune bashing music Razz so is yodeling.

Joy Electric! I haven't heard him spoken of since I was like...5? Haha! He's grand.

The only exciting-ish story of playing Eisley I can think of is when my friends and I turned up Invasion so loud I'm positive everyone in the intersection could hear it.

This was a great topic idea, Jan Claus. I am inspired to play it somewhere really random and fun now. It's going on my list of life goals.

Smile I thought of it while I was listening to the music. I told myself: this must be the first time Swiss mountain cows get a chance to listen to Trolley Wood or Telescope Eyes, lol!
