What's this "even Little By Little" stuff? "Little Round Mirrors" and "Cream and Bastards Rise" are two of their best songs. [Smile]

I never got the chance to see them live. They swung through in 2007 -- for a free show at the Rathskeller! -- but we were visiting family that weekend and I missed it. I've been kicking myself ever since.

(Here's a clip from that show:

And a fun live, piano-only version of "Little Round Mirrors:"

And while I'm at it, here's another clip from that show at the Largo:

Alot of folks cooled towards HD after King James Version. Little By Little seemed to be the band going even further in the direction KJV went, so I don't meet alot of folks who like Little By Little. I like Little Round Mirrors and Cream and Bastards Rise as well, my favorite song from the album though is Happiness Rides White. I confess though it's alittle funny to be singing "I've never been a praying man, I don't need a God to make me feel alright," and have an acquaintance look at me like I've just made some sort of surprise declaration about myself.

I remember they swung through Seattle area Christmas of 06-07 and I couldn't get away from helping at my in-laws retirement home to see them. I've never been to any concerts other than local band ones, and I would have loved to have my first one be a Harvey Danger concert.

Thanks for the links, my work computer doesn't allow youtube, but I'll definitely check them out when I get home.

Did you like the prevalence of piano in Little By Little?

Oh, yeah. I'm a sucker for good piano bits in songs. [Smile]

"Little By Little" was great, but I think "King James Version" is actually their best album (and "Sad Sweetheart of the Rodeo" is their best single).
