athen's liz durrett is an artist i should be more familiar with, and i am guessing you should be too. everything i have heard pass through her lips has been pretty wonderful. so, what the fuck is my problem? who the hell knows? that's all about to stop, i tell ya! she's got a new one out, or at least coming out on 9.9, entitled outside our gates. gates was recorded in athens this past spring with indie rock godfather, eric bachmann handling the producing and arrangement duties. the record also features liz's uncle vic chesnutt, brian causey of man [...]

Ik trof vandaag een leuke verrassing aan in mijn mailbox: het nieuwe album van Liz Durrett . De jongens en meisjes van Durrett's promotie-club zijn zo vriendelijk geweest mij de digitale versie van haar album Outside Our Gates toe te sturen. Het album komt uit op 9 september op het Warm label. Ik ben een fan van de eerste albums van Durrett en Outside Our Gates ik ook weer prachtig. Durrett, een nicht van Vic Chesnutt, maakt dromerige pop. Eric Bachmann van Crooked Fingers produceerde het album en Outside Our Gates klinkt rijker en spannender [...]

Some songs demand more attention to be fully appreciated. Songs that are so powerful once you've heard the lyrics that they can change people's lives forever. Today I'll share with you five of my favourites. . Townes van Zandt - Tecumseh Valley Our Mother the Mountain (Tomato, 1969) The devastatingly beautiful Tecumseh Valley tells the tale of a young woman growing up through rock-hard times. As money is running out – and [...]
One day the world will end. Everything will go black, the buildings will twist upwards, the stars will fall, and the curtain will draw shut on the entire universe. When that day comes, don't say Vic Chesnutt didn't tell you so. North Star Deserter is, without doubt, the record of Chesnutt's career. Far more vast and dark than anything he has ever produced in his acclaimed and legendary career. The reason for this is pretty simple when you take a peak at the liner notes. Recorded at [...]

Heut hab ich mich richtig geärgert. Nur kurz, denn der Tag war zu schön, um sich lange zu ärgern. Hab ich mich geärgert über den Fluch der frühen Geburt. Ein paar, alsogut, ein paar viele Jährchen später geboren, dann dürfte ich jetzt auch Lehrer bewerten. Aber - zu spät...die Kinners werdens schon richten. Nein, ich mein jetzt nicht, dass es mir Spass machen würde, auf Lehrer
