the sky is falling, the sky is falling!!!! omfg!!!!!! thats what the news here in atlanta was like the past two days. panic breeds panic and they had me buying what they were selling. sure its kinda cold, and it snowed like an inch, but come on already.
btw, go packers!
btw part two, i dont know if i need sleep or something but i teared up watching apollo 13. luckily norris’ walker texas ranger is on to feed my need for more testosterone. on the flipside of crying, its been a long time since i laughed as hard as i did after reading these amazing chuck norris facts. i know they are old news, but its been a while since i read em.
if all you really want is straight up, beer swiggin rock ala the mats, lucero, drive by truckers, etc. then you should totally dig massachusetts, the dirty truckers. call me simple or as i like to think of myself, a purist, but sometimes, actually more often than not, i dont need my music to be any more than just loud and gritty, productions value be damned. washed and ready, their first new one in six years, is kinda like a whisky and cigarette fueled love makin session, it aint pretty. which is why i am absolutely loving it. washed and ready is twangy, punky, hook laden and meant to be played loud.

barton carroll sounds like a dude i can get behind, or well, at least musically speaking. he kinda reminds me of modern day nick lowe, which is cool. he’s toured and played with eric bachmann/crooked fingers, azure ray, dolorean, and micah p. hinson. his new record, the lost one, comes out on tuesday, 1.22.08.

Go Giants!
you fuckin dick!
Just like two days ago, I was listening to Cowboy Junkies and thinking about music from the late 80′s and said to myself “Hmmm, I wonder what happened to Edie Brickell?” Sure enough, the Captain knows the answer.
By the way, It seems I didn’t win the the contest. I did post a Fletch quote, I guess that was bad. Anyway, I was wondering if you’d repost “Boink!!” by the Replacements as a consolation prize.
I just read my comment and realized it sounds like I think Brickell was in Cowboy Junkies. I know better. I was referring to that whole New Bohemians/Cowboy Junkies/Suzanne Vega/Indigo Girls scene from that time period. Actually, I have a Junkies disc from last year, but I have no idea what the rest of them are doing these days…
nigel, i havent done the drawering yet. i have been way busy, but should be done tonight. so you are still in the running. you posted a fletch quote? i am going to have to revisit.. what you think of the heavy circles song? its pretty good, imo.
I do like the Heavy Circles tune. Thanks for posting. What I like most about Edie Brickell is her career. A college kid gets a little too drunk and jumps onstage with the band. No lifelong ambition to be famous. No yearning to be a singer. She’s an accidental rock star. Here we are 20 years later, and she still has a career. Crazy.
As always, great titles man, sometimes I come here just to read the titles.
Off the hook is some serious rolling rock. Makes me feel like jumping on my bike, giving the establishment the finger and just motoring off.
