Cooley D is in fifth grade now and they have a thing called "Mixtape Mondays" where each student picks three songs to add to the class playlist. So I pick him up from school and he can't wait to tell me about his choices: first up was DBT's "Little Pony & Great Big Horse" (perfect choice son!), seco...

Piss balloons. All i can say is that in my experience the LSU fans, their reputation is far worse than what I have actually experienced and I’ve been there when we have beaten them and when they have beaten us. Now a few of my buddies had a bunch of the geaux tiger faithful think they were going to...

All David Berman today. Mostly Purple Mountains & The Natural Bridge.

And a setback can be a setup For a comeback if you don't let up But this kind of hurtin' won’t heal And the end of all wanting Is all I've been wanting The end of all wanting Is all I've been wanting The end of all wanting Is all I've been wanting And that's just the way that I feel between the lyr...

I had all my whole music discography on shuffle on the way home tonight and the last song that played before I came home was "There is a Place", then I come inside to this news. Fuck fuck fuck.

scotto, I apologize too for the tone, "wearying" doesn't even begin to describe these times. It wasn't but a few short years ago that the general consensus on the left, even among some on 3dd who now reflexively shut it down, was that red flag laws were a good idea and a necessary part of a gun cont...

^ Well done. The difference between treatable and non-treatable (or at least nigh-on impossible to treat) mental health concerns is what's lost in the knee-jerk "It's a mental health issue" response and then everyone looks at you like you're, well, crazy , for suggesting that murderers are not ment...

The root cause isn't access to guns, it's angry people. Making it harder to get these guns will help, but it won't make the problem go away. A true solution addresses the mountain of angry, hopeless, hate filled people as well as making it harder for them to access death tools. No doubt there's a c...

Ha, nice look back at the salad days of political divisiveness

I don't think so, it has to do with another of his exes that they employed to do merch for them iirc. FWIW, I don't know that JTE & Shires were ever an item, she supposedly modeled for that album cover as a favor.

just check out her haunting Scarlet Rivera-esque parts on Todd Snider's Agnostic Hymns , she helped make that record what it is. The first time I saw her was opening, then playing with Todd. Great stuff. I believe Todd officiated the Shires/Isbell marriage. Trivia! more trivia: https://f4.bcbits.co...

just felt appropriate.

Yeah, I'm with Zip on this one. She had quite the resume before she & Jason even got together; I mean she was a adolescent prodigy who ended up in the Texas Playboys, which might not mean what it used to but it still has to count for something. Not saying she didn't benefit from Jason's rise, but sh...

That's an interesting way to look at it. I see it more being that for years moderates have stacked desks and chairs and whatever else they could in front of the doors to keep "today's far left" out of the room, but now a few have managed to slip inside. And just how left exactly is "today's far lef...

Ummm, there seems to be some lack of clarity about what a novel is. As opposed to, say, non-fiction. :lol: this is just setting the scene bubs, it'll pick up steam and diverge slightly from reality when the main protagonist Cortez the Killer enters the 40 Watt with one mission at hand, finding and ...

Like a beacon, the marquee of the 40 Watt club shone brightly through the blinding rain With the huddled masses of heAthens eating tots in the shelter of the entrance listening to the sounds of danceable classic rock staples interspersed with the occasional WSMFP tune wafting through the air from t...

I was under the impression that the Hitchhiker album had a lot of tracks that comprised the original Chrome Dreams? Three of the twelve songs that were to be on Chrome Dreams , appear on Hitchhiker - Pocahontas, Powderfinger and Captain Kennedy. With the exception of "Stringman", the songs slated f...

One of These Days - the country version. I think it was only played maybe twice. For btb

The greatest Box of Spiders w/story, in my humble opinion of course

Some sweeping, mournful pedal steel on that version. Spooner laying down some beautiful keys too.

Awesome show but safe to say Cooley is a sissy. I saw this before and saw that you've changed from the earlier word but I can't help myself, why is Cooley a sissy? Enquiring minds and all that I wrote a similar reply but decided against it. I don't expect anything enlightening or productive about a...

I mean the only chance to change shit involves increased Democratic presence and funding. If you're against that, then you're essentially for suffering.

Yep. The real twist is that the misery of many in the south is the fault of those who aren' tin power......somehow Zip, with all due respect, you don't know what the fuck you're talking about. You live in Ohio, a state that Democrats threw six times more money at than Alabama in 2018 (to diminishin...

I have no doubt that "Project Reclaim Alabama" is a long-term plan. There is a real debate within the national Democratic party (I remember it coming to the fore when Howard Dean was running the show) about a "50-state plan". I think if you pay lip service to representing all Americans you kinda ha...
