February 24: Feeder - Comfort in Sound
With all the deaths in the Oklahoma music scene recently (Curt Martin of 3 Strange Days on Saturday, Nate Dogg of Element about six weeks ago, both in traffic accidents), I pulled this CD out. Some folks might remember Feeder for their song "High" from 1998 (they came through Oklahoma City that summer opening for... uh... Seven Mary Three maybe?); though they've put out three CDs since then in their native England, this is the first one released since '98 in the U.S. and came out last year.
Feeder's drummer, Jon Lee, died in 2002 of a probable suicide, and the remaining two members wrote this album partly in tribute and partly in reaction to their grief, so I felt it was fitting right now. Plus, it's astoundingly good, and it's been in my CD player off and on for the last six months. If you're interested, there will be a benefit concert for Martin's family on Friday, 2.27 at Twisters in Tulsa, and a benefit concert for Nate's family on Sunday, 2.29 at the Diamond Ballroom in OKC. 12 Pearls might be doing a benefit for the Martin family as well; check the 12p webpage for more info.
