I just read the Patterson Hood interview on No Depression, and I was struck by Hood's response about his current musical interests. I listened to the bands he mentioned, and they didn't do it for…Continue

I am in the middle of the long process of re-importing all of my cds into iTunes in lossless format (listening to each album, to make sure it imported without glitches as well as to enjoy stuff that…Continue

"Nothing else this year comes even close to Richard Thompson, and I doubt anything ever will since nothing ever does. RT can do no wrong.
That said, a few albums I am excited about that will be released soon: the new Black Lillies album,…"

"It is saying something important about how great the Truckers are that you picked what is probably their weakest album, and it would be an impressive achievement for just about anyone else.
Their best album, in most people's opinion, is…"

"If a musician I like raves about another musician or band then I am probably going to check it out.

I just read the Patterson Hood interview on No Depression, and I was struck by Hood's response about his current musical interests. I listened to the bands he mentioned, and they didn't do it for me. They sounded kind of like Patterson did on Heat Lightening, which makes sense if that is what he finds interesting these days, but Patterson just did it better. For Patterson, this is a consistent thing. It took me a long time to give the Drive-By Truckers a chance because their breakthrough…See More

"I probably shouldn't get into this, but...
The quote from Nancy Pelosi is one of the most misunderstood quotes in modern politics. There are two possible interpretations. 1) She was saying that the contents of the bill were secret,…"

"Depending on the age of respondents, I'd put strong odds on Will The Circle Be Unbroken, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. It played a role similar to the O Brother soundtrack all those years ago."

"Odd factoid of the day: the site of the Kent State incident is now a parking lot. The places where the bodies fell are marked off as no-parking zones."

"The guitarist for the band actually wrote a pretty aggressive response in one of the music magazines that none of us read. Personally, I have some sympathy for Ryan about that. I would hate to have my favorite musician write a public…"

Harry Steinmetz replied to rosencrantz's discussion 'Fun with genre labels'
"I have a similar number and just file them alphabetically. Besides, how do reduce Peter Case, John Hiatt, Richard Thompson etc to just one category of music. If you have a system that works for you, great. But there is no categorization that will…"
