The Story
A memory behind the music
Such a funky band name, Band of Horses. I think I discovered this band from my friend Jay when I was living in my friends spare room in between my time in San Diego and my time at UCLA. I needed somewhere to live so I had to ask my friend and former manager Kevin Baird if I could live in his spare room for a few months while figuring out what to do. Initially I was thinking I'd work at the nearby Safeway and drive to UCLA but my sad broken little Acura Integra was just not up to a 45 minute drive every day, it likely would have caught fire after I crashed it on the highway, and a drive like that would have taken a lot away from what college life is supposed to be like. But it was nice briefly living back in my home town and hanging out with my home town friends after abandoning everything to live near San Diego for 18-ish months. So we'd listen to this kind of post-modern rock from a band with a truly goofy name.
