Lyle Lovett & his Large Band graced the stage at Overture Hall after spending a day circling (sometimes in the wrong direction) the Capital at Art Fair On The Square . It had been a number of years since I last saw Lovett perform, this being my first time in the presence of his Large Band. I was completely floored when the lights came up after the band warmed up the stage to see in excess of twenty people. Large numbers certainly equal large sound and over the course of the evening Lovett [...]
Over the past week I've been on a steady diet of Lyle Lovett who comes to town with his Large Band on Sunday, July 13th , for an intimate performance at Overture Hall . I've got my favorites from Lyle's catalog: The Road to Ensenada , Step Inside This House , and It's Not Big It's Large have all contributed to laying my fan foundation. If you're on the fence, please pay your [...]
Lyle Lovett has sold 4.6 million albums in the United States since 1991, but his major label contract will be done after two more albums. And he's weighing his options: "I've never made a dime from a record sale in...
Lyle Lovett says he has "never made a dime" from album sales during his two-decade career, and hopes to rectify that situation when his contract expires. The eclectic country singer has two more albums on his deal with Curb/Universal, his home since 1985, and figures the horizons are wide open. "The possibilities are very exciting, I [...]

Everybody Does it in Hawaii - Jimmie Rodgers The first artist that comes to mind here is probably Elvis Presley, right? Or the Hawaii Five-O theme tune (did you know that Dweezil Zappa has recorded the latter?)? Or maybe even Brian Wilson? Well how about something a little off the beaten track for the youngest of the 50 states (which became the 50th state on August 21st, 1959)? Also worth a mention is John Prine's Let's Talk Dirty in Hawaiian. And The Strokes' Hawaii Aloha is also pretty... Please visit Ceci N'est Pas un Blog for [...]

Lyle Lovett: North Dakota [ purchase ] And the boys from North Dakota They drink whisky for their fun And the cowboys down in Texas They polish up their guns And they look across the border To learn the ways of love My father long ago decided that he would visit every state in the US before he died. But he refused to go anywhere just for the sake of going -- there had to be some reason to go. He's covered 49 states [...]

Lyle Lovett: If I Had A Boat (live, 2003) [ purchase original ] If Lyle Lovett had a boat, he'd go out on the ocean. And if he had a pony, he'd ride it on his boat. Seriously. This "what if" song contains a few digs at the idea of freedom, it's true. But primarily, it is a simple ditty, a flight of fancy in which Lyle Lovett imagines himself in a holy host of heoric situations right out of the black-and-white world of [...]
...but Lyle Lovett is coming back to Vancouver! Whoo hoo. It seems like only yesterday I was imagining a movie where Lovett and Fred Ward teamed up as a pair of detectives who solve crimes the old fashioned way (whatever that means) by day and sing country & western music at night. Yeah, that'd be all right. I saw Lovett a little over a year ago with my bro and my sis and the ever-lovin' CS Rippen . Lovett was on a tour with John Hiatt, Joe Ely and Guy Clark, [...]
6. Pernice Brothers-Pisshole in the Snow I really can't remember how I discovered Pernice Brothers...I believe I downloaded one CD by them from a Russian MP3 download site but not exactly sure why. I discovered I really liked all their music. I soon sought out the rest of their CDs and found they had a pretty similar sound to all their albums, which was good and bad (some of their stuff begins to sound similar to previous releases.) This particular track comes from their CD Discover a Lovelier You . It [...]
One for you in honor of Record Store Day today. A great record store is so much more than just racks of LPs and CDs and cassettes and the fact that they're vanishing at at an alarming rate is not a good thing. Go out and shop your local independent record store today and keep an important part of our musical heritage alive. Lyle Lovett - Record Lady Buy I Love Everybody @ your local independent record store
It seems lately it seems the entire idea of a record store belongs in a museum. Some of the quotes on the artist quote page of the Record Store Day website are so drenched in nostalgia, you'd think the shelves have long since been relegated to a back room in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Not so. They fight, they scratch, they claw, they stay open, and part of the reason (or so I like to believe) is that record stores are museums of a sort. Record stores contain art in a browseable [...]

I have been charged with dereliction of duties with regard to my blogging, and my penance is your reward, or punishment depending on whether you no likee. Prevailing wisdom would seem to suggest that getting shit-canned would free up time for my little hobby, and indeed it has. I have just been too damn lazy. I will try to do better. There are a few records on the horizon that I am mildly excited to tepid about including a Ministry covers record (see track below), a new Breeders record, the new NIN Ghosts I-II-III-IV, a new Isobel [...]
Today I'd like to share with you three Christmas songs from non-Christmas records and, as far as I know, these have never been collected on a Christmas compilation (and if they have, I'd like to know because that could be one cool compilation!) First up is a legendary artist that I am excited to see a Christmas song from. Ry Cooder has contributed tremendously to music and his 2007 CD " My Name Is Buddy " features a Christmas track. It's a great album at any time of the year...certainly check it out. [...]
