    Luke Temple Puts Out Call To All Filmmakers!


    Here’s the deal:

    To fans, filmmakers, and aspiring filmmakers: Want to be the next Michel Gondry, Mark Romanek, or Anton Corbijn? This is your chance!

    Luke Temple wants you to design a video for a song on his newest album, Snowbeast.

    You can choose any song from Snowbeast and make a video. Go here to find a track you like: http://www.millpondrecords.com/millpond_promo/temple-snowbeast.php and e-mail ian.wheeler@themusebox.net for an MP3 file of the song. We’re looking for really creative ideas here... Stop motion, cheap animation, anything CHEAP and creative that captures the spirit of one of Luke’s songs.

    The contest will run for six (6) weeks. After that time, Luke will hand select the winner himself. The selected video will be the OFFICIAL video for that song. The lucky individual will not only receive the honor and credit of making and directing an official video for Luke Temple, they’ll also receive two backstage passes to see Luke in the city of their choosing, a poster signed by Luke, and the winning video will be sent out to every major music website, blog, and several indie music video television shows. You’ll also get an IMDB (Internet Movie Database) credit for directing a Luke Temple video!

    Band Of Horses Album Reviews


    Band Of Horses "Cease to Begin" Album Reviews

    "There are few things to enjoy on the band's latest album, as Band of Horses cranks up the volume and fills out some of the airy spaces from its debut with fuller instrumentation. But in the switch from low to high fidelity, Band of Horses sacrifices a good deal of angst and quality in the band's quest to prove it is no band of one-trick ponies. Lazy listeners may accuse Band of Horses of treading through too similar ground, but pay close attention and the subtleties between the two albums come out of the woodwork. Where Everything was raw and desperate, Cease to Begin feels bland and nonchalant." Review 1

    "Band of Horses offers something refreshingly unlike boilerplate indie rock." Review 2

    "It's a complex album, not immediately digestible. It sounds sad but leaves one feeling happy. It's covered in the pangs of loneliness but casts a lantern on our interconnectedness." Review 3

    " "Cease to Begin” shows Band of Horses refining its gauzy sound and proving it can co-exist with its Kentucky cousins." Review 4

    "Even though it's 90 degrees out there still, Begin is the sound of autumn, of leaves crunching under your feet, of cozy sweaters, of chilly sunshine and the burnt-oranges, yellows and browns of fall." Review 5

    Is Third Eye Blind getting back together?
