My wife and I had the immense pleasure of watching Pat Carney and Dan Auerbach tear up a very small stage in Los Angeles once. After they played, like a goon I went up to them and had them sign my copy of Magic Potion. They were cool about it. They were also cool about the fact that in such a great big city, the turnout for their performance was definitely less than stellar. They gave 100%

Anyway, once we got home the first thing I did was grab my guitar, plug in my amp, place the knob on volume ten with the drive meter cranked up all the way and.....

...completely sucked in comparison to the guitar mastery of Mr. Auerbach. There isn't a modern guitarist I know of besides Jack White or a drunken Ben Wolcott that possess such shredding skills.

Download this album. It's called Chulahoma. It's a history lesson in awesomism!

Attention fellow music nerds: It's officially debate time...who is the greatest modern guitarist in your humble opinions?

Video of the week!!

I love Dr. Dog with all of my heart and I sincerely hope you buy their t-shirts and go to their shows. If you haven't picked up their latest record, hit the little red X in the upper right corner of this screen and go get it. Lo-Fi basement songs for the discriminating listener.





I don't have too much else to say except maybe it's a good idea to get the bong from under the bed.

C'mon Mr. DJ, you ready for takeoff in the Airplane Man?

Somewhere on this blog I posted another Mr. Airplane Man record, Moanin'. I like that one more than this one, but I am mostly alone on that decision. According to the fans, this album is the keeper. However, just as Moanin' does, C'mon DJ instantly transports you to a bar somewhere in a real rough and tumble town. A bar where the pinball machine is always occupied by a greased up, leather wearing, dude that keeps his two beers on the glass top. He'll knife you if you get too close.

Here's the video to Jesus on the mainline.

If you are easily offended leave now before this image burns in your head.

After a few minutes you're like "Hey...do you like pigs or not?"

This is completely NSFW and if for some reason you were just hatched somewhere, that means Not Safe For Work.

Here's something you can't front on...

What can I say that you haven't heard about Ms. Campbell? We all know she was in the incredible Belle and Sebastian. We all know she had a bad breakup with the lead singer, Stuart Murdoch. We all know she put out a duets album with the gravel voiced Mark Lanegan. We all know she has a really pretty voice and an ability to write perfect pop songs. We all know she's Scottish.

What else?

Oh yeah, I almost forgot...she loves dogs!

Pre-Decemberists country vibes

In 1999, before Colin Meloy fronted the Decemberists, he and a few Montana friends were making music under the name Tarkio. The sound is pretty different from his recent material, leaning toward a more alt-country sound. That's not to say that "I guess I was hoping for something more" is a bad record. In fact, it's just the opposite. The hyper-litarism was just beginning to form and you could tell that his time spent going to school in Oregon made quite an impression on the young man from Misoula.

*This isn't quick work...unlike saying thanks.

Video of the week!

Because I am a music nerd and enjoy both the audible and visual of it all, I've decided to share with you my favorite video of the week. I'll try to be dedicated to this idea, but if I slack a bit I don't want to hear any grief.

Dan Sartain - Replacement Man
Any video with mindless murders is okay in my book!

Beneath a Tennessee sky

"Been in Nashville for approximately one month. People are friendly, but it's not the old country paradise I was looking for. Maybe it's because I don't have cable and didn't realize the "new" country rules these parts, but what the hell happened to good ol' country and western?"


There's a bar down the lane with a poster in the window that says "Top 40 Night!"
That's a little dissappointing isn't it?
I met the old bass player for Johnny Cash. He was inducted into the hall of fame that night. He wore cool wallabees and dark jeans. He was over 70 years old.
I shook his hand and wondered if I'd break it beacuse it was so frail.

Enjoy the stuff that helps me get through the days...
