What originally started as an Irish religious holiday back in the 17th century has now become one largest worldwide holiday celebrations of the year. St Patrick's Day is when everyone gets to be Irish for a day, so put on your best green shirt, pour yourself a pint of Guinness and a shot of whiskey and join the party. Have fun and be safe.

After 13 years of publishing the May-June 2008 issue of No Depression will be their last. Apparently the web site will remain functional but all print efforts will cease. What does this mean for us, the subscribers? As of now, nobody really knows, in their letter from the publishers they say: "If you have a subscription to ND, please know that we will do our very best to take care of you. We will be negotiating with a handful of magazines who may be interested in fulfulling your subscription. That [...]

There is a brilliant young talent down in Nashville who goes by the name of Caitlin Rose. Her debut EP, Dead Flowers , will be released in the near future. It's not available yet, but check this space for more details about how to get this recording as soon as it goes on sale. Believe me, I'll be more than happy to do another post to tell you how to buy it. It's great. Until then, please listen to her cover of the Rolling Stones' song, Dead Flowers. I think this may be my new favorite version [...]
—————————— —————————— —————————— ——- Things here in Colorado are coming to a close. I ended up having to spend some time in the ER yesterday while the wife got a couple of staples in her head . She is fine and plans on riding today but we did go and rent helmets last night. Today's guest blog comes from Lucero message board member slash message board comp curator JacksonDavis and is probably gonna rub a person or two the wrong way. See y'all next week. —————————— —————————— —————————— ——- [...]
While we're on the topic of Creedence, I've encountered a good number of Uncle Tupelo fans, over the years, who were unaware that "Effigy" was, in fact, a CCR cover. Not entirely surprising though, as the tune was not a single (it's the closing track on the LP Willy And The Poor Boys), and [...]

Or crazy. The fantastic blog Aquarium Drunkard just made me aware of the guys playing in 1985 before Uncle Tupelo, under the name The Primitives. Jeff Tweedy is playing the bass. He is also wearing a dress. Too bad he doesn't still cross dress-it would make it a whole lot easier getting my hands on a pair of Wilco tickets for DC. It is fascinating seeing how Jeff Tweedy has evolved over the years. Through a lot of experimenting, he seems to have found his sound. The boys were just nominated for a Grammy for Sky Blue [...]
Today's post is about a true giant in the world of country music: Fred Rose. He was one of the first three men inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. (The other two were none other than Jimmie Rodgers and Hank Williams). He penned the classic song that provides the title track to this website, along with many other tunes made famous by Hank Williams. And he was the first person in the music industry to "discover" Hank Williams' talent, athough he originally hired Hank for his songwriting talents not as a singer. Beyond discovering Hank, Fred [...]
I figure there are three types of Spiritualized fans out there in the world these days. The faithful, whose zeal for the works of J Spaceman haven't wavered after all these years. The agnostics (like myself) who would certainly call themselves fans but would have to agree that he's now some ten years past his best work though are not prepared to write him off yet. And the apostates who, all things being equal, would probably rather listen to Spacemen 3 and angrily dismiss everything Jason Pierce has done post- Ladies & Gentleman, [...]
unhemmed came through and cold rocked the spot last night - my ukulele gently wept. here's the signature tune done with slightly less panache: uncle tupelo - 'maggie's farm' (live in missouri, 1988) [ buy]
hey congrats to all you bosox fans out there. i, like the rest of the country probably, didnt think they were going to make it out of the alcs, but what the hell do i know? i expected my sox to have won at least 2-3 world series by now. considering that they have the same freakin team as 05! anyway, those rookies really carried em, which bodes well for the future. could it be possible that arod might be a sock next summer now that he has opted out of his contract with the yanks? man, i would love [...]
I've been a blogger now for a few months and in that time I've discovered that the blogosphere is a strange and wonderful place - full of all sorts of things I never understood nor felt the need to know about. One of those was memes. I had only heard ...
"And I'll lay right down in my favorite place And now I wanna be your dog Now I wanna be your dog Now I wanna be your dog..." -Iggy Pop - "I Wanna Be Your Dog" Like most good lefties I was elated last November when the Democrats handed the Republican congress a little spanking ...
For most, today is nothing more than a holiday, but like most holidays, we rarely actually consider the origins or meanings. Its unfortunate, but most people take the labor movement and the sacrifices made for granted. Labor day in most of the world is celebrated on May 1, or May Day, as it is commonly known. The actual origin of the celebration is based on the eight hour work movement. Various other countries have their own origins, but all honor the economic and social progresses made by labor movements worldwide. Today, at least in the [...]
Six miners in Utah remain trapped as workers scramble against time to free them. It was reported early this morning that an earthquake had struck Utah . Scientists have since declared that the collapse was so powerful that it was mistaken for an earthquake. Last year, 47 miners lost their lives in the line of duty. That is an increase of more than 210% from the 22 killed in 2005. [...]
