Katelyn Hackett commented on Kim Ruehl's blog post 'On topical music and the power of song, nearing the 34th anniversary of Phil Ochs' death'

GREAT story, Kim! I linked to it on FB. Re your comment from this morning, I don't think it's true that you necessarily cease to be your honest self just because fame comes your way, or that obscurity necessarily fosters honesty. But it's definitel…

Katelyn Hackett commented on The Muckrakes's blog post 'Alternative Recording Mediums / Formats'

Thanks Easy Ed, I was about to have a hernia after reading the explosion of curmudgeon. Let's not be snobs, people, and let's NOT bash "young folks today" -- who love music just as much as the previous generations (thank you very much) and have unpr…

Katelyn Hackett commented on Kim Ruehl's blog post 'Sunday morning coming down from the No Depression festival'

Thanks to the good people of No Depression for giving us such a great day of music! My highlights: Jesse Sykes' psychedelic alt country stylings washing over me while I lay back and contemplated one of Marymoor's trees in the breeze, finishing an im…
