top of the morning. i have been re-emerging myself into joe pug’s messenger as of late, and i have come to the conclusion that its much more solid than i initially thought it was. i never did a favorite songs of 2010, but his “not so sure” was just behind newsom’s “good intentions paving company” as my two favorites of the year. anyway, here he is playing at the cactus club in austin on 11.6.10. you can grab the flac version here and much love to aaron, the original taper – its a soundboard btw. you can still grab his in the meantime ep for free via his site, link up there, and i cannot recommend it enough. all you have to do is give him an email address and its yours. you can also buy messenger there too, again recommended.

I’ve seen Joe Pug 5 times since 2009, he is an incredible young man and the best thing to come down Music Pike since my hero Steve Earle left Shertz, Texas, for Houston. Magic with a guitar, don’t miss him if you get a chance to share in his talent and joy for life.
