Kind of Like Spitting has taken a staunchly independent approach to making records and performing, releasing eight records (at latest count) on small DIY indie labels (including but not limited to Hush Records, Barsuk, and Redder Records) , and doing tours across the country in a variety of venues, from the neighborhood house party to the big rock arena. At the core of KOLS is Ben Barnett, singer/songwriter with a talent for writing gut-wrenching tales of life and love.
Ben was previously in an indie rock band called Slotcar and he also played in the original line-up of The Thermals for a while.
David J. has a solo project called Novi Split.
A new record is planned for release in January 2010 under the name Blunt Mechanic. Seattle's Barsuk will release the disc, which will be titled World Record. Barnett debuted the new band at Mississippi Studios in Portland, OR. in August 2009.

Prairie Lullaby
Kind of Like Spitting Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Shadows slowly creeping, down the prairie trail. Everything is sleeping, all but the nightingale. Soon the moon will be climbing across the blue, blue sky, night winds slow and haunting. This prairie lullaby. Tumble to bed, my child, my little old sleepy head, the stars are in the sky. Now that your prayers are said, my little old sleepy head to this prairie lullaby. Saddle up your ponies, to sail with you, lead you down a trail of dreams. Stumble to bed, my child, my little old sleepy head, to this prairie lullaby. Saddle up your ponies to sail with you, lead you down a trail of dreams. Now that your prayers are said, you can get to bed, to this prairie lullaby.
The lyrics to "Prairie Lullaby" describe a peaceful scene on the prairie at night. The shadows are creeping and everything is asleep except for the nightingale. The moon is about to rise and the night winds are slow and haunting, creating a calming atmosphere. The singer of the song then addresses a child, telling them to go to sleep and reassuring them that the stars are in the sky and their prayers have been said. The child is then instructed to saddle up their ponies and sail away on a trail of dreams. The song emphasizes the tranquility and beauty of the prairie at night and encourages the listener to relax and let their imagination take over.
The melody and lyrics to "Prairie Lullaby" were originally written by Jimmie Rodgers in 1930 and have been covered by many artists since then, including Leon Redbone and Kind of Like Spitting. The song has become a classic country tune and is often played as a lullaby for children.
