"Fixing" Guster lyrics

I found an interesting blog post today. Check it out and see what you think. Drew, the author of the post, points out that a few of Guster's lyrics are a little depressing. It's an interesting viewpoint, but I think he's a little supercilious to think that he's capable of "fixing" perfectly good lyrics. Anyway, he posted a "fixed" version of So Long that really isn't too bad. Nothing like the original, but interesting nonetheless. Check it out.

Ganging Up on the Sun Review

I thought this blog post on the Mule News was quite interesting. It's good to hear that Guster gets some justly deserved attention from the critics for Ganging Up on the Sun. It really says something when a music critic chooses to put Guster in his CD on his own time--he hears it all.

Anyway, check it out, Gusterkids.

Guster Concert Photos

I found a pretty good set of band photos taken at a Guster concert you might want to check out. I've attached an example to this blog for your consideration. The photos are at Cynical Wordsmith, another blog out there in the blogosphere. Aren't you glad I sift through all the junk for you? This is a pretty good set of shots. Who knows, maybe one of them will decorate your desktop, or become a fitting compliment to your Guster-devoted décor.

Guster Satellite Lyrics

Guster
Satellite

Shining like a work of art
Hanging on a wall of stars
Are you what I think you are?

You’re my satellite
You’re riding with me tonight
Passenger side, lighting the sky
Always the first star that I find
You’re my satellite

Elevator to the moon
Whistling our favorite tune
Trying to get a closer view

You’re my satellite
You’re riding with me tonight
Passenger side, lighting the sky
Always the first star that I find
You’re my satellite

Maybe you will always be
Just a little out of reach

You’re my satellite
You’re riding with me tonight
Passenger side, lighting the sky
Always the first start that I find
You’re my satellite
You’re my satellite

Notes:
Satellite is one of my favorite new Guster tunes, one that's seen a lot of time on my iPod recently. It's got the perfect melody, beat, and layering of sound to really pull in your attention and elicit some emotion. What a great song. Thanks to Off Base, On Target, a fun blog that posted these lyrics a little before me, for putting them up.

Guster Interview on Musical Style

I just found a great blog post--this interview on Bring Back Sincerity, with members of Guster, finds discusses the band's musical style, their roots as a small, college-frat type band with bongos (and sweet bongos, I might add) to their current position in the music market, where they're not exactly one of the "cool bands" but find themselves being passed around virally through their fans (like me and you!). Not bad ranks, though, hanging around the music scene with the likes of Dave Matthews and John Meyer. Give this blog post a read. It's a great interview with the band.

Ganging Up on the Sun Review

Hey folks,

I just found a great litte review of Guster's new CD from a fellow fan. I thought I'd point you the way to check it out. It's a nice litte community we belong to as Guster fans. Funny how that happens when your band unfairly receives very little radio air time. Check out BJ's music blog on MySpace to read.
