Since its inception in the late nineties, American Mars has been a musical anomaly in their hometown of Detroit. In a town often passed over by touring Americana acts and dominated by garage and punk, the band has persevered for nearly a decade with its unique brand of atmospheric roots-influenced rock.
American Marsā 2003 release, No City Fun, combined indie-rock elements with Eno/Lanois-influenced soundscapes. Reviewers compared the bandās music to such diverse artists as Joe Henry, the Dream Syndicate, Tom Petty, and Blue Nile while their emotional and cathartic live shows earned them support slots for 16 Horsepower, The National, Clem Snide, Tim Easton, Elbow, Magnolia Electric Company, and The Black Heart Procession.
On the groupās latest record, Western Sides, American Mars has embraced a more direct approach to both songwriting and its sense of theme and place. Western Sides covers ample ground in its 11 songs, from the lonesome grace of āLong Walk Home,ā to the cutting defiance of āDemocracity,ā and the whispered elegy of āSunray,ā but under the direction of the bandās pedal steel player and producer David Feeny (Blanche, Loretta Lynn, The White Stripes), the bandās ranging impulses are brought together to create something more than the sum of its songs.
Says Feeny, āOn No City Fun, we built the record inside-out, started with just the skeleton of voice, guitar and pedal steel and over the next year shuttled in friends and found sounds to flesh it out. While keeping our musical aesthetic, Western Sides was approached as a band that had found a cohesive voice. The sessions were done in small doses of two or three songs each and we cut live, giving us the ability to work out all the emotions of the songs on the spot. The devils are in the details.ā
Lyrically, Western Sides finds singer/songwriter Thomas Trimble exploring the themes of fidelity, fear, and desire through the eyes of characters wrestling with the baffling extremes of everyday life.
āIāve always been interested in lyrics that find mystery in the everyday like āNorwegian Wood,ā or āYou Still Believe in Me,ā from Pet Sounds,ā says Trimble. āMost pop songs I hear today just sound so unbelievable but I realize that at the end of day we all want songs to take us somewhere outside ourselves so thatās what I was going for with a lot of the lyrics on this record.ā
If Western Sides is the sound of a band exploring new ground, part of the explanation may be found in the personal journey its members had to make getting there. Recording for the record began in the fall of 2003 on the heels of the bandās last shows in support of No City Fun and their appearance at South by Southwest. Sessions halted in early 2004, however, when bassist Garth Girard was diagnosed with colon cancer. As a result, the bandās attention turned to assisting Garth and his family through his surgery, treatment and recovery. Band members David Feeny and Thomas Trimble helped raise over $2,500 for Garthās family by running in Detroitās annual marathon and the band added a page to its website where friends and fans could post their well-wishes. Garth was given a clean bill of health in 2006, and the band soon returned to writing and recording material with a renewed sense of mission and appreciation for each other and their music.
āWestern Sides,ā says Trimble, āis about more than proving to ourselves we could still make music that we wanted to hear or that we felt made us better people. Itās also about strength, commitment, and the sheer stubbornness of survival, be that physical, emotional, or spiritual. In that respect this record is as much for us as it is for the people who have followed us over the years. We really feel like weāre in this together.ā

Funny video, thanks a lot "The Simply Space"!
My diary:
I was there yesterday... to visit my Martian nephew (in my previous life I also lived on Mars, in Tanais - northern lowlands, near the Martian north pole).
It was a secret visit (I didn't inform NASA and ESA this time), it was a bit dusty and cold but nothing special, typical for Mars. Hokuku (my Martian nephew) lost a tooth but he's going to the dentist next week... so basically everything is normal...
Another thing, I can only recommend the Russians and their current space program to send captain Vladimir Putin to Mars... so we would all be rid of a problem! š

I met Elon Musk in 2000 and we discussed many of these ideas. There isn't a smarter business developer or CEO that has done what Elon has done with Tesla or SpaceX. Elon is even building multiple Starships for the consideration of commercial space exploration and colonization. Some people think they are smarter than Elon but I have yet to see anyone outsmart him. Using methane and oxygen, also known as ultra cool methylox for his Starship Rockets was brilliant considering most planets we will land on will have the ingredients to propel the Starships further out of our solar system and back. Of course the use of helium 3 in a nuclear fusion rocket would take us to the depths of our solar system and further a lot faster. Over the period of a few years he can realign him self back in the winning seat because he's already aware of the steps he has to take and he's already making them! Elon Musk is making the world cleaner and better place to live for many generations to come. I don't know if you could say the same for the fossil fuel industry! Even though the businesses we talked about we're going to be incredibly difficult to become successful at, there was a good chance of failing! That's why we talked about ways of reducing advertising, manufacturing and distribution costs. Elon was going to move forward regardless, he said they were all good ideas and should be done. Innovative people with integrity expect to be believed otherwise they let time prove them right. So let's shoot for the Moon and Mars, then we will live amongst the Stars!

Interesting. Why is there so few video with photos and videos of the moon and Mars. I think its worth a shot trying to make Mars habitable

Let's start by making Earth habitable

Imagine that. Along with project looking glass. There was another planet also. Inside mountains and no suits and walking around. Yeah but I'm the crazy one š. Even my genius friends scratch their heads. Wake up

You failed to mention the cosmonauts that exasperated on reentry to earth's atmosphere due to a seal failure.
