Might have to think about this one, though it would be a very long lunch hour for me.

Though I'm a Joni fan I have also never heard Blue (though I'm sure I've heard portions of it). As a matter of fact, it's just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to similar classic albums that I haven't heard. Oh, and this interview is fucking hilarious.

We made Lydia Loveless listen to Joni Mitchell's 'Blue' for the first time

I remember reading somewhere that Blammo likes Joni Mitchell and Lydia Loveless was kinda making fun of him for it. So I was thinking this would be an amusing read.

This made ma laugh. "I had no idea James Taylor was on heroin. He seems more of an "I Bake Bread" or "I'm really into essential oils" kind of guy. :mrgreen:

Was really glad to finally see Lydia & co in Charlottesville last weekend. The show was solid even if attendance wasn't great.

Apologies to the band on behalf of all of us in this town for the tall guy toward the front who took somewhere in the neighborhood of 1,000 iphone photos that seemed to mostly be close ups of Lydia.

I went to Dexateens Thurs, DBT Fri, and Lydia on Saturday. I was done in by Sunday -- esp since my two kids have no pity for Dad's late nights.

From Rolling Stone:

A longtime fan of the Drive-By Truckers, Loveless hit the road with Patterson Hood, Mike Cooley and company earlier this year, crisscrossing the country at the same time that the 2016 presidential contest was heading toward its controversial peak. Proudly political, the Truckers encountered some backlash during the trek from their most conservative fans, some of whom boycotted the shows due to the band's support of the "Black Lives Matter" movement. For Loveless, the experience was a master class in fighting the good fight and staying true to your principles.
"I really admire their career," she says of the Truckers, whose friendship with Loveless was kickstarted by a Twitter exchange between the singer and Hood. "They don't compromise. They're just amazing and they're still making great music. It hasn't dulled for me."
When Shiflett asks Loveless to share a life lesson gleaned from Truckers, though, the songwriter laughs, offering up the following nugget of baked wisdom: "Smoke tons of weed."
Kick out the jams motherfuckers.

Thanks! It was a blast. Gonna spend the next month or so focusing on art, so if anyone wants to commission something from me, hit me up! Pets, portraits, a favorite car, whatever. Here's my instagram page for somewhat of a portfolio. And thanks!

Planning on Seeing Lydia Loveless in El Paso on Tuesday night at a place called the Perch. My 9 year old daughter and I are leaving today after school for our 7th annual climbing trip to Hueco Tanks State Park (best stone in the world) just outside of El Paso. Tough to find much info on the venue but it appears to be an all ages show so I'm stoked to bring my daughter as she is also a huge fan. rock and roll and rock climbing!
