Re: 2014 dates thru May

On the ticketing web site, they originally listed a 4/11 Crossroads KC show that has since been removed. Has anyone heard any whispers on whether this will be added later or whether the deal maybe fell through?

Re: 1 Million Plays on Pandora = 17$

Older musicians make less from streaming services because the rights to online streaming didn't exist when they signed their contracts with the labels. David Lowery got screwed by his label when they negotiated a poor rate for the artist with Pandora. I don't see how any other point could be taken a...

Re: Albums of the year

Why would the word "objective" ever appear in the same sentence as music opinion? There's really no such thing as an objective opinion and there's really no such thing as an evaluation of music that's not an opinion.

Re: Hardly Strictly Bluegrass 2012

I'm pissed that Rubblebucket no-showed and Lucero had to play later, so I woke up to get to the park by 11:00 for nothing. Then lunch at Pizzetta 211 ran long and I missed all of Lucero. Great year, though. The crowds weren't bad at all.

Why would I think David Lowery is an asshole just because he picks on interns and kowtows to Neil Young? He's obviously really brave and cool.

Hilarious that Lowery types a 50,000 word screed calling an entire generation moral failures when the speaker is a non-famous, young girl with no clout but he apologizes and says he respectfully disagrees when it's Neil Young.

Re: James McMurtry Thread

Yeah, I'm not sure, but I think he also said that was the first time he had played that song live. I didn't take the video, but I really think he asked the audience to film the song with their iphones and upload it. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em, I guess.
