Just to ram home this site's review of Band of Horses "Cease to Begin", Ben Bridwell really seems to be buying into this southern thing. Check out Pitchfork's Guest List from today. On top of the dust-up surrounding several live shows and Bridwell's general enmity towards performing "The Funeral" (Pitchfork's own eighteenth favourite track of last year), there isn't much love lost between this blogger and the Band of Horses frontman. Dissing your own concert attendees is generally not a great idea, nor is taking a dump on the one song that got you anywhere. Authenticity seems to be a problem with BoH, shilling for a Wal-Mart ad and posing as Southerners. Keep it real, guys.
