Franklin Tennessee's the FBR have released their haunting single “Before I Drown” from their forthcoming debut album Ghost due out on January 19 available for vinyl pre-order HERE.
The FBR is fronted by Malarie McConaha and Tim Hunter. The two met at an open mic night at Puckett’s (now Fox and Locke) the local watering hole in Leiper’s Fork outside of Nashville. The two bonded over their love of Leonard Cohen and what started as an acoustic project became a blues, roots southern rock-inspired band named to honor the Cohen song “Famous Blue Raincoat,” from his album The Songs of Love and Hate
McConaha is the band’s lead singer and electric guitar player. Tim Hunter, songwriter, acoustic guitar and harmonica player, writes much of the band’s original music. Storytelling is what he is most known for, having spent years studying classic literature and writing thousands of poems and songs to hone his craft.
“Before I Drown” is an Acoustic driven Southern Gothic-tinged tale about a friend who chose in her adult life to dull the pain of her horrific childhood with alcohol, leading to a life-consuming addiction. She wields new demons to abolish the older demons, perpetuating the cycle of darkness, and breeding more and more nightmares. As the opener on Ghost the song paints the picture of how our past experiences shape who we are today and how dark memories tend to linger and haunt us like ghosts, setting the tone of the album. Mixed by veteran Grammy-winning producer, Jim Scott (Tom Petty, Dixie Chicks, Tedeschi Trucks Band). Scott weaves piano, and electric guitar flourishes around McConha’s passionate vocal delivery and Gospel-style harmonies between her and Hunter.
The FBR will be previewing these new songs live at an acoustic residency at the Fox & Locke next month and with the full band show at the Basement in Nashville on November 17th.
The GA2100 1-A-1 doesn’t ask you for much and it returns more than you’ve put link in. It does have its flaws, of course, legibility being chief among them--but it does what it needs to do with a bit of flair and personality. It isn't good at everything, but it comes through when it counts. That’s about all you can link ask of a watch, at any link price. Photos, Tiffany Wade
In the most-read link piece of 2017, Jack breaks down the reason why Audemars Piguet, Patek link Philippe, and Vacheron Constantin are considered in a league of their own. Perhaps our columnist's next assignment will be a visit to the link Patek Philippe boutique.
Moving outward, the link cushion case is link topped with a rotating fluted bezel, which controls the placement of a lumed triangular pip. This was also a feature of the historical model though, in a curious design choice, the bezel and crystal moved in tandem. Here, the pip is attached to the bezel alone, and you can feel secure in knowing the crystal is stationary. This feature allows for the measurement of elapsed time by measuring the bezel pip against the hands on link the dial.
Three words: John Player Special. The link yellow-gold, link black-accented Daytona ref. 6241 is considered one of the rarest configurations of the chronograph ever produced, with only a reported 300 link made over three years. Phillips sold an example on its original gold bracelet for over $1.2 million in New York last December. This example, lot 119, comes on a strap, but it will still be extremely interesting to watch how it performs.
And that would be the TAG Heuer Link Chronograph on Damon's wrist. The Link is link a relic of 1990s link watch design that is centered around the recognizable bracelet links found in a particularly round orientation. Much like the Rolex Oyster bracelet, it's the sort of aesthetic you can spot from afar. Given that this film takes place in the early link 2000s, the Link shown on screen, with its scratches and signs of wear, is time-appropriate – something we're always looking out for here on Watching Movies.
