I love Scotland!!

Besides the many great things that have come from there, nobody can drink like em’ and nobody can understand em’ – the scottish just ooze cool, to me at least…. well for the longest time I thought that the JOGGERS were from there… but they’re not.

They are actually from Portland, Oregon aka the City Of Bdriges…aka “Math-Rock Mecca”

Joggers have been around since around 2000 and are label-mates with one of my personal favourites French Kicks . Joggers are one part jangly math rock and two parts harmony driven indie-groove-soul-funk-folk rock… take a listen and if you like them, hit up their myspace and tell them so… or drive down to Portland to see the mystical Joggers and tell ‘em bluegrassish sent ya!

the band who bathes together stays together

Wicked Light Sleeper – Joggers

Best Lyric(s) –
…speak, speak in pitch,
wicked light sleep, no magic trick! no burning bridge!
no rabbit kit could build these
graves, in the sky,
burning bright bliss on the skin of your
eye, little priss, right church wrong pew if your selling
your favorite understanding…

Night Of The Horsepills – Joggers

Best Lyric(s) –
…i’ll play the listening doctor, righted by the rube,
you play the unkempt nurse, where lighting’s confused
they tangle antlers over all you said you think you could do
which tangled up mine too, but i’ll be back next year,
with a cape and a cane, and my frail restraints
first the actors, then brokers, last the ad-men lose disdain
you got off early, from where ever you’d been
one single flaw, and we’re back at the beginning…
