This guy is killing it. As a longtime fan of Terry Gross I've always thought it would be a major success in one's career to be interviewed by her. Southeastern is such a great album, I'm really glad to hear it's gaining new exposure. Listening to the interview now.
While not music related, I highly recommend the author Ivan Doig. A native of Montana, Doig's rich characters and ability to paint a picture of the American West in the late 19th through the mid-20th century are truly excellent. Two possible starting points are "English Creek", the first i...
I can't say that I've ever bought into the notion of what a "guilty pleasure" is as there's really nothing in my collection that I'm ashamed of (except for maybe a Bee Gees 45 of "Jive Talkin'" I bought as a kid). Oh, and maybe this counts: E1fzJ_AYajA I don't care what anybody ...
"The Rock and Roll Casualty Who Became a War Hero by Clay Tarver, New York Times Magazine Great story about Jason Everman, who was kicked out of both Nirvana and Soundgarden, and how he found his calling as a Special Forces operator in Afghanistan and Iraq. File under: Not letting life's major...

I like Yvette, I don't care what you fuckers think Ditto. I got your back on this on Holmes. I'm with you guys. It took a little time to grow on me but" 1) there are some killer baritone-esque guitar parts and 2) it's the only song I've ever heard that refers to a Weatherby (they were once con...
All my buddies in VT regularly post when they get a hold of some Heady Topper. It's like they found a bag of money. I hope to try it someday before it jumps the shark. Not drinking it now, but I just picked up a bottle of Red Breast. If you like whiskey, this one of the best. Super smooth and comple...
About 7-8 of those are dead on. The rest are obvious attempts at trolling large, passionate fanbases. I won't even begin to get into how ridiculous some of those are. They had to be chuckling the whole damn time they wrote that. What this guy said. It was great to see some of my most despised bands...
While I've been playing it non-stop for a couple of weeks I can't wait for my pre-order to come in. I'm hoping for liner notes and lyrics so I can sing along to ALL of the words.
