New Banjo Rock + Kitchen Utensils!

In my ongoing hunger for more uptempo banjo/rocking folk music since falling hard for Mumford & Sons, I've just come across the Canadians known as Elliott Brood, a so-called "death country" band (which is as dumb a label as, well, as it sounds), and I'm heartily enjoying their album Mountain Meadows, a foot-stomping rollicker.

Below, a video of "Write It All Down For You" - in which they hand out kitchen utensils to the crowd in order to bang along. I appreciate this wholeheartedly - the all-around utility and DIY-simplicity of kitchen utensils is something very well acknowledged in this house that absolutely deserves heightened recognition. Just ask anyone who has been over here late when the homegrown karaoke/dance party starts - it's whisks, potato mashers and spatulas all around!



p.s. and re: my previous post in which I couldn't figure out how to sort by newest addition, my whipsmart hubs explained that if you control-click on the iTunes category bar there will appear a whole host of sorting options. Of these, the "Date Added" option did the trick. Brilliant!
