This band's profile just keeps on climbing with me. I had listened to
their disc a few times, but always while working on something, so I'd
never paid a lot of attention until this week. Damn, what a fine piece
of work, and it might be top ten for me, too. Then I see his NYT op-ed,
and it turns out he has more insight and perspective on the issues
facing bands and the music industry generally than pretty much all label
execs combined. (Of course, that's half a compliment at best, I know...)
Funny video, too.....

...it's a lonesome thing to be passing small towns with the
lights shining sideways when the night is down, or going in
strange places with a dog nosing before you and a dog nosing
behind, or drawn to the cities where you'd hear a voice
kissing and talking deep love in every shadow of the ditch,
and you passing on with an empty, hungry stomach failing
from your heart.
