I'm really looking forward to hearing some more O'Death. Sorry, I won't download anything on somebody else's computer. And I don't have my own. So Head Home is still the only one I've heard so far. I just really dig how they still have that spooky edge, but have songs that remind me of getting ****faced and rowdy on moonshine in the North Carolina mountains.
I can respect your decision for being cautious around downloading, many times I have gotten bugs and other crap on my computer, however that was always through downloading programs or using p2p servers. Everything I give out is stuff that I myself have uploaded and can assure you is harmless. However as I stated earlier, I can respect your decision.

As far as being on the East coast where you can actually see some of the settings and inspiration for some of these artists, I cannot contain my envy. I've never been out East (at least in North America) and it is somewhere I very much would like to go to. Not only for the historical places (although that is a huge part of my desire) but from what I have heard the lifestyle is very different. I have always lived on the West Coast and really have only been subjected to their lifestyle, and while I think it's a nice place to be, I would love a change of scenery for awhile.
