Every now and then I discover a band I enjoy that a part of me dares to think Billy might enjoy too. I rarely summon up the courage to share these bands with him, however, out of fear that he will reject them in such a way that sends me into a tailspin of blind fury and leaves me wondering how I could ever be friends with such a lame, narrow-minded ass (no offense, Billy).
I'm going for it this time, though, and hopefully even if Billy refuses to enjoy it, some of you like it. It's a band called Bishop Allen, named after Bishop Allen Drive in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where singer Justin Rice and guitarist Christian Rudder lived after college. It's warm pop rock with solid lyrics. Here's their main website, and here's their MySpace page, both of which have free samplings of their songs. They also have concert dates coming up soon in Chicago and elsewhere, in case anybody's interested.
Here are a few of my favorites:
"ClickClickClickClick" from The Broken String
"Rain" from The Broken String
"Things Are What You Make of Them" from Charm School

Judging by the number of comments you have received thus far I would say that Urbanagora readers were so overwhelmed by emotion and intellectual inspiration from those 3 brilliant songs that they have been stunned into silence.
I think Billy has a bit of music envy..
