I <3 Coleman Lindberg

I'm too lazy to rewrite, so this is mostly what I already posted on Metroblog.

Sunday night I went to the Seward Cafe for a little benefit concert. A friendster of mine and some folks he knows were playing. One of the folks performing that night was Coleman Lindberg.

Coleman Lindberg is my new favorite person.

He's, by his own description, "folk/punk/popster." I like folksy popster, and I'm a big fan of the acoustic strummy stuff. More so than the plugged in rocking. So this right up my alley.

I heard it mentioned that he's got a myspace site, so I went home, looked it up, and downloaded some of the songs he's got available there. I have not been able to stop listening to them since Sunday. Lucky for me he played a show last night.

So if folk/punk/popster sounds like something you might be interested in, do not pass Go, do not collect $200. Go directly here and here for streaming and downloads. My particular favorites are Crawling Home and Wounded Winter.

Seriously, Crawling Home will not let me sleep or work or do anything in peace.

Today is not gonna be your day
I would find another way
My heart beats for me alone
Bloody knees to concrete, crawling home

Watching him live is particularly fun because he's got these Flying Fingers of Fury. He doesn't use a guitar pick when he plays, so he's all fingers everywhere.

And he's a nice guy. I want to have his little gay music babies.
