It took a couple spins (thanks NPR!) but I'm digging it.

First spin.

http://cdn.stereogum.com/files/2014/07/Ryan-Adams-self-titled.jpg First spin, so far so good. (but I have to admit, he looks like Chaka from Land of the Lost in that cover pic) After 10+ spins this has grown on me. I really like this album. I had some reservations, but artists and musicians need ro...

And also this blast from the distant past. I listened to this cassette a million times when I was a kid.

Finally saw the Muscle Shoals documentary on Netflix. It was great, so....

First spin.

Had a long dive last night so I listened to the whole Sabbath / Ozzy catalog. So great... Today it's: http://www.nocleansinging.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/OG-FINAL-COVER-e1328536994561.jpg and http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/6184PB1PZ6L._SS500_.jpg

1 and 2 are both pretty good.

How's the new Neil Young album?

There's also this one - and it's enough to make me want to hunt it down. In fact, there's a fair amount of stuff on YouTube. Thanks guys.

Hey all, Thanks again to the excellent taste of this board I'm digging on Sturgill Simpson. I really like the way Metamodern kind of ties together Gram Parson's ideas about Cosmic American music with the gritty timber of the Outlaw set. Not that this is what it's actually about. I just like the blen...

Hear an interview on NPR, good stuff and one worth listening for.

DELUXE Edition, Disc 2 Barn's on Fire Sessions - definitely on the desert island shortlist. Love those songs.

Thanks Beebs, I'll check that thread out. I'm not really built for running, but I like the simplicity of it and I need the cardio workout. I also started back at the dojo after a 2 year break and I'm managing stress a whole lot better. I just need to avoid any injuries that will put me back to squar...

If you told me 6 months ago that I'd run three miles non-stop, I would have asked you to share what you were smoking. That was before my 9 year old daughter started Girls On The Run and I found out that a parent was expected to run a 5K at the end of the program. With a new pair of Shrek-worthy kick...

http://www.shopradiocast.com/product_images/j/977/kyuss__40245_zoom.jpg I was on a stoney sludge crawl last weekend. I fell asleep listening to Sleep's Jerusalem and Kyuss was good but these guys were my favorite. http://www.kolonyrecords.com/store/images/detailed/0/cover13325139554f6c8ca30cc7e.jpg

^^^ good call. I need to spin this up now.

Pretty much the whole Jayhawks catalog, but Tomorrow The Green Grass stands out as a favorite collection of "happy music".

Ryan Adams, Dawes and Band of Horses are playing the XPoNential Music Festival in Philly on July 25th
and life / schedule permitting...
DBT in Asbury Park.

^^^Giving it the Spotify sniff test. Opening strains of steel are pretty nice.

The snipe hunters I know prefer lightweight 20 gauges with 7.5 shot, wading boots and a good retriever.

Fun fact - the term "sniper" is a reference to the skill and ability of dedicated snipe hunters who can actually hit those crazy flying mudbats.

Proof: you've done something right. Congrats daddy-o!

The plan was to buy my dad's black, stick shift Ford F150 on installments, but he was T-boned a month before my 17th birthday. So....I ended up driving a Chevy camper van for about a year or so. Having tinted windows and a comfy bed did not, in fact, help my dating prospects. It was however, a fine ...

I tried listening to Sonic Youth earlier today. Tried. Am I the only one who thinks they SUCK?

I switched over to The Replacements and I felt much better.

Iowan, you're a lucky man given where you live. No Driftless trip this year due to all the snow days killing spring break, and I am really bummed. I would give a lot to rent a little cabin somewhere by you and spend my days fishing, reading and generally fucking off.
