Song of the Day 20/11/2008

Two Gallants - The Prodigal Son


"I've been a disclaimer for 24 years..."

Suitably poetic first line from a band who took their name from one of James Joyce's 'Dubliners' collection. Suitably folky sound too - the only thing I don't get is the vid. Ah, hang on, what's this?

"Note from Tim: This was our answer to the music video world, a documentary-style film that integrates the holy traditions of Portuguese bullfighting as found hidden like a treasure in the greater suburbs of Western America. All scenes were shot on location in Artesia, California during the annual "Festa do Divino Espirito Santo" in the summer of 2006. The video features David Costa, a real life "mestre" of the Filarmónica do Artesia D.E.S. The bullfight is a bloodless bullfight that uses velcro spears instead of sharp nails. The bulls are not hurt or killed."

So now you know.
