I was poking around at Amazon today, and I noticed that Gangstabilly, the Drive-By Truckers album with “The Living Bubba”, and a few other classics, is being re-released on January 25, re-mastered and with new liner notes. Mark your calendar!
Hoover’s G-String
These guys are fun. Any band that writes a song about Tommy Keene has got to be OK. They’ve got a song called “Jersey Turnpike” too.
Danielia Cotton
I just started listening to Danielia Cotton. She’s nice. Good guitar, good voice.
The Living Bubba
I’ve been listening to this song a lot lately. Here’s an article from Paste Magazine explaining it all.
Lord of the Rings
Here’s a strange idea I just had: spend the rest of the day watching the LoTR extended edition DVDs. If I start now, I’ll be done right around 1am. I’m not sure I can sit on the couch that long, though.
The Best Films of the Year
It’s nice to see that Tokyo Godfathers made A.O. Scott’s Best Films of the Year list. It’s probably my favorite film of the year, although I think I first saw it in 2003.
Led Zeppelin: The Complete Studio Recordings
Only $59.90 from yourmusic.com. $116.99 from Amazon. Not available at all on iTunes. Tempting. I could toss out all my old Lep Zep cassettes, and legally own all the old albums on CD.
Local Blog
There’s a bunch of local Somerset County stuff in this guy’s blog. I never really thought to look for local blogs, but there are probably a few more out there.
Somerville Stuff
There’s some interesting historical stuff in this PDF file at the Somerville web site. Apparently, the police department used to be a beer distribution warehouse, and the fire house on Division St. has been there since 1896.
Merry Christmas
Robosapien and Fat Bastard wish you a Merry Christmas!
