Oh the glory of YouTube! A couple of Sundays ago I spent glued to my computer screen mindlessly watching hours of Ghostland Observatory videos, eyes blinded by pure brilliance. Their live footage will really rock your socks kids…but if you want laughs, just tune in to their profound words of wisdom taken mainly from band interviews. Here are a few good examples:
Airways interview- question: “do you find it easier being just the two of you?” Thomas Turner answers: “(scratches head) yeah. I mean…we can do what ever we want, ya know?”

DocuBlogger (life in central TX) - Terry Lickona Producer, Austin City Limits director (he's like 100 yrs old) describes their sound “it’s not typical dance music or electronic music in my mind or to my ears it’s a combination of the electronic sounds but also genuine melodic music.” “What turns me on is the new jam…something fresh, something new”
