I may have had a bout of ADD for this post. Just warning you.

They have nothing to do with My Little Pony. That's a good thing, because my cruel, insensitive mother gave those all away for 5 cents a pop or something ridiculous like that at a garage sale in 1991. Not that I hold any negative feelings toward her, or even think about her uncaring act of giving the Care Bears away with the same disregard for their obvious worth years later.

But I digress.

Before this gets out of hand, click on this and tell me, do you not love it? Band of Horses, recommended to me by a guy I work with -- thanks, Alex -- just may be my new favorite band of the week. And, if their indie vibe isn't cool enough for you, then the free download on their Myspace page should be. If you're like me, you see "free song download" and immediately click "yes." Download now, discriminate later when the song comes up on shuffle and you don't know how it got there. Like that one song that's just labeled "00045.jrt." I don't know where it came from.

But I digress.

And, if the free download isn't cool enough for you, maybe this will change your mind: Band of Horses, I found out, is on Sub Pop Records, which also gave us such modern day classics as The Postal Service, The Shins, and The Helio Sequence. Good stuff. On a side note, Dave and I may even be dancing to a Postal Service song at our wedding. Well, sung by Iron and Wine ... Sigh.
