		<title>Live Review: Lou Barlow and the Missingmen with Wye Oak, 8/20/2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Punk rock taught us tons of things. It taught us how to draw logos on leather jackets, how to put Elmer’s Glue into hair and make it stand, it taught us about independent music, and it taught us stupid stuff like the ZOMG ANARCHY DUDE~! aspect of the sound- all of these are important (yes, in a way, even the last one). But the most important thing that punk showed us was that we are all fans of music, and that the enthusiasm that a music fan feels for a ...]]></description>

		<title>Lou Barlow&#8217;s Natural Nature</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Nearly twenty years after I discovered Sebadoh, I’m getting another chance to see Lou Barlow in concert tonight.  I wish that I could explain what it is about a loveable stoner with great hair, a penchant for noise and a Jackson Browne-like quality for making sweet and mellow music (only unlike Jackson Browne he doesn’t suck) that makes me adore his music so much, but I can’t.
I guess Lou Barlow is just honest. He isn’t afraid to make big and bold proclamations about love, hope, and masturbation and once he’s ...]]></description>

		<title>Good God!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Gospel music is a difficult thing for an atheist like myself.  On one hand, you have the subject of the music- God. Or Jesus. Or sometimes both. But on the other side there’s the music, which when done correctly is music done with fire and passion.  I suppose the peril of the modern day aging hipster/atheist has to run together at some point.

I’ve reached my point by acquiring the Like a Ship…(Without a Sail) album by Reverend T.L. Barrett and the Youth for Christ Choir. This music is awesome. It’s ...]]></description>

		<title>Glaze rocks Stella Blue!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
So I broke my vow of steady updates until September. I put an honest effort out there to do it, and I’m going to keep putting forth the effort to update the blog everyday.
Last night I played with my old band Glaze (notice the link) at Stella Blue. The show, from what I have been told, was pretty good. My bass sounded about as good as I’ve ever heard it last night. It had this nice deep thumb with just enough Mike Watt-like growl to it.
Now that the show is ...]]></description>

		<title>Dream Boogieing with Sam Cooke</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Music biographies (and to an extent, biographies in general) are kind of masturbatory if you know a bit about the subject. I know about Sam Cooke- gospel singer, switched to pop, huge star, “Bring It On Home to Me”, shot in a hotel room, the dominant force in soul music, and hero to Bobby Womack, Lou Rawls and Rod Stewart. But then I read Peter Guralnick’s excellent Dream Boogie: The Triumph of Sam Cooke and was completely blown away by the man.
I’ve loved Sam Cooke for a long time (specifically ...]]></description>

		<title>I go Gaga over Black Jesus</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I live a quiet life that is made easier by turning the radio off. Occasionally something of merit will bubble up from the mainstream and force me to listen to it, and more often than not I find it interesting. The latest thing I’ve heard is Lady Gaga.
From what I gathered before I actually heard Lady Gaga was that she was a wacky singer who hung out with wonderfully gay men, dressed in outfits that made for silly looking pictures and did it all in the name of “art” or ...]]></description>

		<title>And now a review: We Have a Meth Lab</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is my life in a nutshell: the out-of-work music writer, the hardened critic, the aging hipster, the asshole, and even the balding, self-loathing, pseudo-Jew asked by former Ashevillian/head BFO-er/Decline conspirator Bob Rest to give a CD by his latest band, We Have a Meth Lab, a listen and a review.
“Give it a good review” he says, adding later on for me to compliment his band’s musicianship. I download the un-mastered version of his album and prepare myself for it.
These days I hardly listen to a lot of rock and ...]]></description>

		<title>The Great Outdoors and a Little Country Music</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Like most people (I hope), I’m pretty influenced by the things I choose to read, listen to and watch on television or DVD.  Recently, Jessie and I have been on a Ken Burns kick, watching all of his films via our Netflix subscription (we’re married; those things come with the license now). As of right now we are headlong into watching The National Parks: America’s Best Idea and I’m utterly inspired to experience the great outdoors as a result.
Wait, what was that?
That’s right, I’m starting to get into the idea ...]]></description>

		<title>Sharing is Caring: Beard Music 2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
A few years ago, mix CDs were an obsession of mine. I was constantly working on a compilation for someone, scheming of rare tracks and strange cover songs. I guess that this blog is an extension of that same compulsion. I can’t help it. Maybe it’s because I want to feel musically superior to someone else- oh you haven’t heard that? I’ll make you a CD- but I love people hearing songs for the first time. I love when they like it and I really like arguing with them if ...]]></description>

		<title>The Ones We Love the Best</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Holy shit, The Hold Steady, you sure know how to work a guy over.  Last Wednesday night Jessie and I made the drive from Sylva to Athens to catch your show at the 40 Watt Club and I was completely blown away by the show.
I knew what to expect walking into the concert- I own all of the band’s albums and had seen the band two times previously. But this show might have been better than the first time I saw them in 2006 at the Grey Eagle.  Guitars played ...]]></description>
