Beulah. A Little Indie Rock for Ya’ll.
Place: Battery Park, New York City. Date: August 5, 2004. Time: 7 PM. Price: Free. However, the real question is, "was it priceless?" I would have to imagine the answer to that would have to be yes. Chances are you don’t remember what you were doing on that Thursday… Unless you were at that last Beulah concert before they called it quits. I am far from being a diehard Beulah fan, however, I do think that they deserve to be recognized. For far too long, people have been asked if they know Beulah, and their only response is "Boowho?". I am not that into reviewing songs or albums, due to the fact that listening to music is such a personal experience. If I am putting it on here, I think that it is worth your time to listen to it. This band came a far way from starting out with two guys, Miles Kurosky and Bill Swan, who worked together in a mail room at a security firm. I put my personal favorites below. "Sunday Under Glass" comes from one of Beulah’s earlier albums, When Your Heartstrings Break, and is more of a Indie Rock/ Pop song. "You’re Only King Once", comes from their last album, Yoko, which is considered to be their most successful album. This album is darker than their other works and has been compared a lot to Wilco’s Yankee Hotel Foxtrot.
