The Slip
The Slip will be opening for MOKB favorite band, My Morning Jacket, on their upcoming tour. I didn't know much about them other than Jim James think they're great, but that holds a lot of weight with me, of course, because I think Jim James is great. Their new album is called Eisenhower and is out on Bar/None Records. The Slip's MySpace.
My first child, as a lot of you loyal readers know, is due this December, so this first song was of particular interest to me from the title alone...

It's Girl-On-Girl Friday at Cooter Punch.
Jared at 5 Acts has some good cover songs up on his site right now.
Chris has a couple more songs from Shout Out Out Out Out. We both posted on them yesterday and I am still listening to them nonstop. More awesome here.

c'mon dodge - you're telling me you've never played some Guitar Hero? "Even Rats" is one of the sweetest songs on there!
i'm not missing that concert. i'll be back in town for thanksgiving, so it'll work out perfectly.
Hi..sorry for lurking, but Im really excited for this tour. It looks like Im going to miss seeing The Slip by like a day. Ive had plans to see MMJ the 22nd in Louisville, KY.
Sadly, I haven't played Guitar Hero, but have seen it played and am awaiting an opportunity. Is it as awesome as it appears?
Hey Dodge..thanks for the link!!..I`m also enjoying the Slip..Even Rats is a great track..
The Slip is like the only remotely decent band that claims to be from Boston. They're OK. Boston's music just biiiiiiiites. Aberdeen City is decent too, though
oh, it's a lot of fun. i'm not one for video games, but i enjoy myself everytime i bust out some crazy solo.
it's one of those games where you're thinking "i am so lame, this is so lame, i can't believe i'm playing this" the entire time you're at it.
but then you wind up staring at the screen for several hours, attempting to master "bark at the moon."
check it out - it's worthwhile
The Slip = great choice, great album. Friday Dec 1 they'll be playing a live concert on WXPN in Philly, xpn.org at Noon eastern as part of our weekly concert series with NPR. Shameless plug, I know, but quality music needs to be heard. - Bruce
All this attention on The Slip on indie blogs recently is amusing to me. They were a rising jamband about a decade ago, and have been sort of also-rans in that scene since. I have no idea what changed all that, other than Jim James saying outloud that he was a fan. How odd.
Oh, and I think they're from Providence rather than Boston. Although they may have relocated since I stopped paying attention. Anyway, good to see more success for them after being around so long.
