Brilliant. I had to share with some friends.

Trying to wake up and get ready for Take Root this eve. I'm liking the line-up this year.

We'll see large labels again, but the landscape will look a bit different when the dust clears. Streaming is the next phase, why download when every song ever recorded will be available for streaming? Who needs to pay for all that extra disc space?…

I can't stand Sinatra. His voice is like nails on a chalkboard to me. It sounds like he's biting off the end of each line.

I saw Sam baker last night at the Effenaar in Eindhoven, might make it out to see him at the Roepaen in Ottersum. I had no idea how much I would enjoy the show, but the man is convincing. Giving his discs another listen after seeing him live seems t…

At the moment I'm thinking "Take This Job and Shove it" by Johnny Paycheck . . .

The Rural Alberta Advantage has a new album, Hometowns, which is full of songs about, well . . . hometowns.

Oh yeah, I always confuse it with my wooden leg . . . .

Oh gawd yes, if I never hear another shitty Dead bootleg it'll be too soon. I'd like to add Phish to this list, as well every other noodly jam band. I'd rather stick a fork in my ear.

I actually like a good fire and brimstone gospel song. Bluegrass as well. But I expect it from either genre, as opposed to rock/pop. As Grant mentioned the sales tool aspect, Christian (popular) music strikes me as specifically written to try to rea…

I am so loving Rural Alberta Advantage's "Hometowns" right now, I have to hear it a few times a day. Singer Nils Edenloff's voice may not be to everyone's liking, a bit nasally, although I think it adds to the evotive nature of the lyrics. Check ou…

Thinking more about it, I have no problem with music with spiritual or religious themes, Joseph Arthur for example, as he doesn't come across as preachy. He's telling a story, and religion being a part of about 90% of my fellow humans' condition, I…

Johnny'll have a new record out next march. From the press release: “My new album is going to take us back to the days when soul music and garage rock collided. Lots of fuzz bass, farfisa, and and ‘my baby left me’ lyrics. In short, another new dire…

Christian music pretty much weirds me out. Especially harder rock stuff. It just seems wrong if it's too wholesome. Rock and roll should be nasty and sweaty and a backdrop to a misspent youth, not purity promises and clean living. It ain't right!

Will You Miss Me When I'm Gone - Ralph Stanley

First my BF and I visit the Nederlands usually twice a year. He was born there and still has family in Breda. As you mentioned there are a lot of different rules and regulations for performers in Europe that we don't have here in the US. My feeling…

Last night/Sam Baker

I saw Sam baker last night at the Effenaar in Eindhoven, might make it out to see him at the Roepaen in Ottersum. I had no idea how much I would enjoy the show, but the man is convincing. Giving his discs another listen after seeing him live seems to add new layers to his story telling. I've heard that the funniest people often come from some of the most tragic circumstances and Sam qualifies. Watching his between song banter and chatting with him afterwards, the man is genuinely witty and charm… Continue

Sandy! How are you, you crazywoman?? Give me the scoop, tell me what's new with you.

Man, we had some fun back on the old ND board, didn't we? I always loved your left-field hilarious posts.

Here's the skinny on me: got married a little over a year ago to a great girl who's an NPR radio announcer here in Memphis... bought a little house about two months ago (just one freakin' week after losing my job -- scary!) ... currently managing a wine/liquor store, and drinking like a fish (I hope that part wears off soon.)

As for music, I don't get around much anymore -- maybe 5-6 shows a year. When you're old and married, home-cooking and the sofa looks awfully good at night.

I am SO damn glad you wrote!

Welcome to No Depresson, Sandy. Sounds like you're pretty familiar w/the scene in the Netherlands. I manage Star Anna & The Laughing Dogs and we get a fair amount of interest from there; we're Indie and are interested in what it would take to tour. dave@starannamusic.com if you want to discuss it!
