In fairness, he did say correlated, which does not necessarily imply causation ... until he used the lung cancer comparison, which is a correlation we might as well call causation at this point (I certainly don't think you can argue smoking has a positive effect on your lungs), and is not at all the same thing... yeah, he's a bullshitter. I do think violent media can influence violent behavior, but not to the extent we're being told. Too many other x factors exist to make that claim.
I prefer Interpol to Snow Patrol for my indie rock that uses only a couple chords and/or notes on any given song, but that was a nice song nonetheless, I certainly enjoyed it a thousand times more than "Chasing Cars." I'm just jealous because I always find myself playing lead which isn't as conducive to songwriting as a whole. I have a bunch of lyrics and rythms I can't put together. lol What you posted was a really good live performance, though, I might give this band another chance.
I forget what songs I've heard by Band of Horses, but definitely heard them before. I don't know when this song was recorded, but it takes me right back to the 90s, as it sounds like an alternative track from that decade. Seems like an easy going music kind of day for you; I can dig it, nice song picks.
