When is this officially out so I can buy a copy and hear what you guys are raving about?

Listening to the iTunes album preview. Really really good so far.

I think this has a LOT to do with it. Let's face it, as talented as he is John Moreland isn't going to be headlining with Keith Urban anytime soon.

Mrs. Dubose is one of my favorites on Pizza Deliverance. There's just something lowdown and dirty about it. And the dog barking is awesome.

To Kill a Mockingbird is one of my favorite books but I never put 2 and 2 together until reading this thread. Gracias.

So Amazon.com went down this morning. Thanks Clams.

The Whigs! Those guys blew me away. I came in during their set and they were all over the stage, just killing it. I've bought all their albums and still listen to them.

Yuengling and Rolling Rock.

I'm getting my oil changed right now, and they have a mainstream country station playing in the waiting room. I kinda want to stick forks into my eardrums My dad, an otherwise awesome dude, likes to watch CMT when I'm visiting. I've gotten good at not rolling my eyes or sighing in disgust. It's har...

Finally! I've made a worthy contribution to this august board. In August no less.

This thread brings Hanlon's Razor to mind. Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity. Here's what I mean. LOTS of people don't really care about music all that much. They may like music and listen to it, but it's not something that deeply affects them. I know many peo...

I'm on board with legalizing everything. Gut the DEA, and in its stead, put together an agency, or maybe just fund private agencies, that help treat addiction. Much like the gun issue, rather than making these items illegal, the focus needs to be on treating the people who misuse them. Can you imag...

I saw Jason and Amanda in Philly and she's really talented but for whatever reason I didn't buy one of her CDs. Now I regret it. I'm listening on Spotify and this album is really good. I guess I need a PO Box so I can send her some cash.

http://www.jayhawksfanpage.com/albums/albumimages/hthfront.jpg 21 years on and this record never gets old. May be a top ten album for me when it's all said and done. That was the soundtrack to a lot of family road trips when I was a kid. Some days it definitely pushes the Top 10. Some days I think ...

And they both put on a great show, regardless of my personal tastes. It was funny though, you could tell who was a fan of who.

So, DBT and The Hold Steady are each in the studio recording new records (and Instagramming the hell out of it). That could mean their respective records would come out at the same time, and that they might be touring in support of those records at the same time... ...and that we could have the Roc...

Great picture, I'm looking forward to hearing what she's been up to.

Peanut Butter Cap'n Crunch

and

Looking forward to hearing Jason play the new songs.

Gotta take issue with this one. Marry Me is a GREAT song, especially the recorded version on Decoration Day. It's a great story, Cooley's vocals are raw and intense and the guitars just rip the hell out of that song. One of my long term favorites. (goes and sits down) I agree, but you can't pretend...

I'm at the beach, so I just sit under an umbrella and read for hours on end Sweet. We (wife and kids and I) rent a cottage up in the 1000 Islands every year. It has a wrap-around porch overlooking the St. Lawrence River which is perfect for reading. Sure, we swim and fish and eat and drink and go f...

Those of you checking/re-checking out Slaid Cleaves might like this one. Leeroy Stagger's Depression River.

Come on, really? You mean to tell me you didn't find that funny at all? I guess not or you wouldn't have made that reply.

Mods, feel free to delete if this is in offensive or in poor taste. Personally, I laughed my ass off.

I admit, I screen-scraped this from Reddit, but I have no regrets. This made me laugh my ass off and I hope you do too. "I'm about 6'7'' so even when I'm just trying to be friendly (i.e. not farting on a stanger kid's head) and meeting a family member's or friend's kid for the first time, I've...
