It was cool to hear them express doubt before the show about a "bluegrass band" and then repeatedly use the word "awesome" afterwards.<BR/><BR/>As for their songwriting, how about "Doubting Thomas" for complete transparency in lyrics? Seriously, everyone, go get their new album before I have to turn this blog into "Mad Enough to Love Nickel Creek."Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01926184833095262275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14760407.post-1131765415588808562005-11-11T22:16:00.000-05:002005-11-11T22:16:00.000-05:00Nickel Creek is my favorite band.

I saw them a couple weeks ago in Indy, so I'm sure I know what surprising song you're talking about -- it brought the house down there, too.<BR/>You're right -- their musicianship is beyond belief.

You're stealing all the funniness from my blog, you jerk! Kidding. But only about the jerk part.<BR/><BR/>But listen, y'all, I don't have to have the funniest blog or 17 comments in 4.5 minutes like Bobby, because I got to see NICKEL CREEK last night. If anyone wants to know, they were phenomenal. I know I'm all about the crazy superlatives, but I have never ever heard such musicianship in my life, and plus they were funny, and energetic, and basically it was amazing and my face has been ROCKED OFF. I mean, the bass player put his bass down and CLOGGED during one of the songs (holla, Lamarites!)... seriously. <BR/><BR/>Debating whether or not I should tell you what rather surprising song they covered. Coloradans, they're at the Fillmore on December 1 (Jonna, this means you). The ticket was expensive but worth every penny, no lie.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01926184833095262275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14760407.post-1131720386582712162005-11-11T09:46:00.000-05:002005-11-11T09:46:00.000-05:00How about "Harvey Brown's Message."
