greasepaint commented on Grant Alden's blog post 'New massages from an old media guy. Or maybe old massages. Or just therapy.'
All you need to do is bring ol' Jesse in to say you are right about everything. Same riff Woody used with Marshall McLuhan to quiet 'em down in "Annie Hall." Wish I had that one up my sleeve about some Godawful metaphor I came up…
greasepaint commented on Will Kimbrough's blog post 'whew...'
Will - See you (and Peter Case) in Lexington at Natasha's 7-20-10. A bunch of talent to go 'round on that bill. Hope the Louisiana bill went well and thanks for coming back this way. No matter the tenor of the times, we need our gen - u -…
greasepaint commented on Rockstar Aimz's blog post 'NXNE: Outlaws and Gunslingers Showcase'
Since when does having what appears to be a full bottle of Maker's Mark wind up on your stoop qualify as a disaster?
greasepaint commented on Grant Alden's blog post 'Where has all the righteous fury gone?'
Check out Peter Case's "Wig". There's just enuff not so carefully modulated rage happening on that platter.
greasepaint commented on Grant Alden's blog post 'Jompson Brothers: I have seen the future'
I think I've got you beat in the seniority department and this was first time seeing Tull. The Ian Hunter set was abbreviated, but I'd probably still trade the chance to see him do "Sweet Jane" and a great version of his latest…
greasepaint commented on Jason Schneider's blog post 'Listening further to Van Morrison...'
Grant Alden's ND cover piece on Billy Joe Shaver kicks major butt. One of my favorite pieces of music journalism.
That having been said, a key question for any music writer who wants to entertain as well as inform remains: What would Lester…
greasepaint commented on Grant Alden's blog post 'Jompson Brothers: I have seen the future'
HAD to bail out well before the Jompson Bros. But KevGo and BenSo were as wonderful as expected. Needed to save my strength to see Ian Hunter in support of Jethro Tull in Atlanta the following night. How's that for some 'reener rawk cred?…

Oh well, the St. Claire addy didn't seem to stick. Here is is the old fashioned way:

greasepaint commented on Grant Alden's blog post 'A preview of Alejandro Escovedo's new album, then'
Thanks. There's an interesting entry on this from St. Claire Studio in Lex Ky, where the disc was recorded (althought it was reportedly mixed in da big city by Bob Clearmountain, no less) here (scroll down):
The Advents were (and are) some…
greasepaint commented on Grant Alden's blog post 'A preview of Alejandro Escovedo's new album, then'
Grant - Thanks for the preview.
If you thought the crowd at the DBT show at Buster's in Lexington was old, you shoulda seen the bunch at the Mott the Hoople reunion gigs. The sound? Impossibly muscular. Would be interested in your take on what…
greasepaint commented on Grant Alden's blog post 'The constant impermanence of things: a pointless collection of words'
Another thing about your DBT post and your impression that Lexington is not a particularly "supportive" city. It struck me as no small irony when Peter intimated in one of your No Depression opening pieces that you were in Morehead with no…
greasepaint commented on Grant Alden's blog post 'Hope I Die Before I Get Old'
" ...three-quarters of a heart and one eye constantly wandering."
Perhaps this is not much solace, but damn, that's a nice turn of the phrase the likes of which I'd be incapable of spitting out even if I live to a hundred and…
greasepaint commented on Grant Alden's blog post 'Grant sez: The 40 best songs of the Oughts'
"Now...WMKY does have something available online, but I don't do podcasts (a matter of time, not so much ludditism), and so haven't explored it. I THINK it'll be archived audio there, but...I'll let y'all know when we…
greasepaint commented on Grant Alden's blog post 'It's the end of the decade as we know it...'
Haven't sorted out last week, much less the decade. However, here are two that I would include:
Ian Hunter "Rant" Sadies "Favorite Colours. Come to think of it, I also agree with Grant on the Buddy.
greasepaint commented on Grant Alden's blog post 'Mountaintop Removal benefit coming Nov. 11'
Don't mean to sound like that fella from Pike County who wrote N.D. a few years back complaining about how Gillian Welch and David Rawlings somehow coopted his "mountain" music (and received a lucid and well deserved rejoinder from…
greasepaint commented on Grant Alden's blog post 'Looking backwards, after a long pause'
Ah, but to be truly "old media", you ought to do the thing live on the fly. Take requests. Promote local and regional shows and arts events (e.g Paul Burch and the Minus 5 playing at Christ the King's Oktoberfest in Lexington for free…
