Thanks again Kyla. Did anyone claim the Dr. Dog tickets? If not, I'd take them in a heartbeat, unless it's bad form to be a double winner. Let me know if they are still available...  -David

Both front page and newsletter! Sorry, just didn't think the videos did your great writing nor his great music justice. Since I can't write or make music the best I can do is add a couple songs to stream!

Welcome to the No Depression website! I'm the publisher of No Depression, at least that's what my business card says. I'm not sure that term is really all that accurate in this age of new and evolving business models for journalism. I prefer to think of myself as the steward of No Depression because really it belongs to all of you who make this place a vibrant engaging source of roots music news and information.

I hope you enjoy your time here. Please tell your friends and if you have thoughts or ideas on things you'd like to see, or things you think we could be doing better please drop me a line in the comments below.

Click here to read more about the history of No Depression.

Here are links to some interviews I've done over the last couple years as No Depression has evolved from a print publication to this community website. The Well Rounded Radio podcast is a particularly good overview of my past with the magazine, some of what it took to make this website a reality and some of my thoughts on the future of print publishing and the digital space.

I met with Fairchild in Seattle spring of 2010 to discuss:

For Those Who've Gone Clear: A Music Memoriam for 2011

A friend of mine sent me a link to his blog and accompanying videos. I was so impressed that I encouraged him to make them public rather than password protected so they could be more widely shared, enjoyed and admired by the audience they so deserve. I hope that you enjoy them as much as I did.

Here is his blog and videos (one above and one below):

Usually one of the most poignant moments of any Oscars telecast is the "…

No problem Kyla, I know how these spammers work. I like the look of the site, and already recognise a number of my favourite artistes featured, Ray Davies and Arlo Guthrie just to the left of my comment here. Looking forward to getting to know the site.

Hi Kyla,

    Thank you so much for letting me know that you enjoy my comments.  That puts you one up on my wife, who enjoys some of them, at best, maybe.  Seriously, thank YOU for everything you do on ND.  From someone who's always had a great love for music that's off the beaten track, ND is a refuge where like-minded music lovers can exchange information on music new & old, opinions and ideas.  That truly means a lot to me.  In the words of Nietzsche, "Without music, life would be a mistake."  I'm confident that you agree.  Luv ya, Curt

Dear Kyla,

  It's a pleasure to share my outlook of Americana music and expound on the colorful artistry that creates the beautiful tapestry of the strengths and vulnerabilities of the real spirit of this great nation.

               Long live Americana and No Depression, (whatever that means!)   Skip

I think they are based in London but I hadn't come across them till last night.  The headliner BTW was Pocket Satellite who're very English.  Third time I've seen them this year. Here's a link to the video for their song about not wanting to go to work May be too idiosyncratic to travel but be interested in what you think.

Hi Kyla - IIRC you like First Aid Kit.  I saw another Swedish band last night whose female vocal reminded me of the FAK sisters.  Here's a soundcloud link
