Re: Post rock (paging tinnitus)
Just a plug for my favorite album of the post-rock era: Gastr del Sol's "Camoufleur" - it takes that 90s Chicago sound and infuses it with doses of Van Dyke Parks, Vietnamese folk, German electronics & John Fahey. The album was criminally forgotten as the band had already broken up by the time it ca...

Re: Thoughts on DBT's Songwriting
And both of them deserve blame for allowing Shonna's songs to be included on albums when - at that point in time, at least - they weren't up to DBT standards. But with so few nits to point out over 15 years of writing, it's safe to say that Patterson and Cooley are just plain special. (Sorry for th...

Re: Patterson: The South’s Heritage Is So Much More Than a F
I just saw this and was coming to post it. I am so very proud of Patterson today. Agreed - the best piece I've seen written on this topic since this controversy blew up.

Re: Zac Brown Band Recorded Dress Blues
My initial reaction to the line change was that it was no big deal. But the more I think about it, it does kinda neuter the impact of the line before it ("what did they say when they shipped you away..."). In Isbell's version, that line sneaks up on you and bites pretty hard. Brown's vers...

Re: best streaming service?
No - he's 100% right. Royalties from terrestrial radio play only get paid to the songwriters, the recording artist gets nothing at all. This is why sampling was such a hot button issue in the 90s. The credited songwriters of the sampled songs wanted a piece of that action. Yes, you're right. I read...

How do you read this, then?: "But let’s look at what those counts really represent. If a song has been listened to 500 thousand times on Spotify, that’s the same as it having been played one time on a U.S. radio station with a moderate sized audience of 500 thousand people. Which would pay the...
