My Guilty Pleasure - It's NOT Porn (Head Out of Gutter, Please), It's Ghostland Observatory!!!

Guy driving Ghostland is a HOTTIE...Just sayin'...talented too  (From: trashymoped.com)
My favorite albums from this dynamic duo (playing OVER AND OVER again on my iTunes) are Delete.Delete.I.Eat.Meat and Paparazzi Lightning.  And, I remember exactly how I discovered this group...(dreamlike state entered here)...

I was watching PBS in 2009, as I oft do, and ran across a show called Austin City Limits.  Hadn't ever watched it before, but QUICKLY became a fan.  Based in Austin, TX (an indie music gem of a city), this show introduces new artists, as well as welcoming those artists already enjoying some mainstream success.  The shows are LIVE, in every sense of that word.  The artists are there to play, sing, and entertain with limited stage-show theatrics.  They do have some cool lighting sometimes, but for the most part the shows are for the music only.  Ghostland Observatory DID NOT disappoint.  Dudes couldn't stand still, and I was amazed.

I think what caught my eye was the LEVEL of energy that the duo had in the performance.  Check out their hit Sad, Sad City from the same show here (From: YouTube):


All I can say is that they've been on my own personal hit list since then.

So, check out Ghostland Observatory and Austin City Limits.  Both experiences will enlighten you more than the Dalai Lama can.  What?  Yes, I just typed that!  HA!

Absolutely check out their song Cause a Scene.  It's one of those songs that just energizes you and won't let you down.
