Music Friday: "Everybody's Trying" & "Bury Me Deep"

Back when I was an undergraduate, my friends and I went to a concert in Truman's Baldwin Auditorium. We had never heard of the band before, but after we went to the concert by Poi Dog Pondering, I promptly bought their new album at the time, Wishing Like a Mountain and Thinking Like the Sea. 

For some reason, I've never purchased another album from the band, and I'm not sure why. I really enjoy the album ~ interesting lyrics, folky vibe. In a lot of ways, the music encapsulates a certain part of my life and brings back memories. 

I've had it in my car this week, and here are some tunes from Wishing..., the first of which is their very first TV performance probably sometime in 1990 or 1991. 

Music Friday: "Fruitless"

Click HERE for an eighteen-year old video of "Fruitless," a song by the Chicago-based Poi Dog Pondering. The song comes from the band's very fine album, Wishing Like a Mountain, Thinking Like the Sea.

I saw these guys in concert at Baldwin Auditorium when I was a sophomore. It was a very good concert. I bought a cassette right after. Yes, a cassette.
