I think the same can be said for most small towns. Most people refuse to find the awesome communities in small town because the population isn't of the "superior caliber" of a big city. Which is a huge shame. People don't see what they're missing out on in efforts to fit in with the masses. Undoubtedly I could if I wanted, yet my heart lies with the eclectic and eccentric. I live for the queer and obscure. I am amazed by what is unconventional and borderline peculiar, hence the photo from my last post. I was at a music and art showcase a couple of months ago where my kind kind of people were abundant. And I felt so at home I never wanted to leave. There was a band from little ole Lincoln, Nebraska called Once A Pawn, which if you haven't heard of them, get on it. I dig their style and talked with them and got my CD's signed. I kind of acted like a little kid excited about Christmas. Somehow or another we were conversing about music and they mentioned a band called Lost In The Trees, another band I'm a huge fan of.

As far as I know, they are still pretty unknown; totally my favorite kinds of bands. They hail from Chapel Hill and definitely have a unique take on the growing genre of symphonic rock. They are my kind of peculiar, experimental music. I can't say enough good things, so I'll stop right here. Check them out, enjoy them. I'll be back here next week, on time, scout's honor
I live in Raleigh, NC and get to see them play fairly often. Personally, I think their record misses the mark but the live show is amazing. I think they are growing and haven;t learned to capture the magic of their collaboration yet.
