Wow! Congrats.

Q&A with Matt Patton CP: Now you're helping DBT complete their roster. Did they reach out to you? MP: We definitely had a few mutual friends who did most of the work. I got a few emails and texts around the holidays encouraging me to look into it. Considering the sources, I thought enough of it...

Well, that would be the feminist cows of today... Back in the days I'm pretty sure they would paint him as a Bull.

Well, I guess we hear things differently. I agree that Patterson must be a big country fan. I am not questioning that. The two first DBT albums have a definite alt-country vibe all over them, but imo thats got more to do with the production on Pattersons songs, as I said previously. I think an arti...

Hood doing Tom T. Hall and Kraftwerk doing a country song are two totally different things in my opinion. OK, should probably have added smileys after that Kraftwerk comment... That was just an attempt to say that those two songs if you were to play them from the sheet with only the chords and voca...

Well I guess its not worth having to get exposed to those crazy Mancunians

I never saw Radiohead. Followed them up to and including In Rainbows but must admit I have drifted away from them lately. Not enough steel guitar I suppose...

OK. To some extent on those two first albums, although I suspect it has a lot to do with the productuion; accoustics, steel guitar, banjos... You don't say? Even though it's not on a DBT album, I suggest listening to Patterson's cover of Tom T. Hall's "Pay No Attention To Alice" from Kill...

Suddenly got a ticket for Feist for this evening. Haven't heard anything from her before, other than the duett with Jeff Tweedy on Wilco's 'You and I'. How was this? I've been debating about going up to Manchester to see her but can't make my mind up as it's mid week. Not bad. I didn't know any of ...

^^^^^^^ as weird as this story is, the best part was seeing Dave's face when the guy told him about the other dog. He just stared at me like who or what am I. We had just talked about the dream no more than 5 mins prior. I swear i have the gnarliest dreams when ever we camp out among the Big trees....

- If you think of music as a linear scale with rock on one end and country on the other, most of their songs land somewhere in that sweet spot between the 2 extremes of pure rock and pure country. Occasionally, they'll release a song that's pretty far to the rock side of the scale (Lookout Mountain...

Excellent write-up. Punk was an essential part of my musical "education". I was born 5-10 years late to experience it when it happened, although I remember being slightly shocked by seeing the local punk-acts on TV when I as very young. Some of those acts continued to dominate the scene ov...

Another great happening from the homecoming weekend. This book was recommended to me on Saturday by Rolank and I finished it up last night. It hit me right away and I couldn't put it down.

Marr scored The Big Bang. Depending on your tastes, it may be a great bad movie, or just overall terrible. But the cast alone (Sam Elliot! Autumn Reeser! Van Der Beek!) makes it a must watch. http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BMTgzNjI1MTQyMF5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwODgyNDk3NA@@._V1._SY317_.jpg I didn't...

Correct. Only its u with a dash over it, but I have only seen the dash in handwriting, never in 'type'.

This is Husker Du (a TV show in the 70')s:



This is Hüsker Dü (a Punk/Hard Core band from Minneapolis active in the 80's)

If there hasn't been an announcement yet there is probably a reason for not doing so. Most likely they have hired someone for a couple legs of the tour but haven't made a commitment to that player yet. This.

I think I know what you're thinking of.

But during that HC weekend I was informed by several independent sources (it took...

Excellent choise. VF committed one of the best debut albums in the 80s imo. Saw them a couple of times in the early 90s. Great band. Great songs.
