'sticks: the wifey and I saw G. Love & Special Sauce and the John Butler Trio a year or so ago in Atlanta. Fun show. We share a few likes in the music world and G.Love is one.

Rae: I have a Flat Duo Jets ep on ceedee in a box that was packed several moves ago. I get frustrated everytime I go lookin' for it. That Dex had the rock-a-billy vibe goin' strong.

Nothing new for me. I'm still spinnin' High Violet and I've been listening to an Imelda May cd. Heard Big Bad Handsome Man on the tv recently which prompted the re-visitation. Didn't give it much attention when it came my way at Christmas.

Also, a homebrew comp with Mazzy Star, REM, Snow Patrol, Bob Dylan, Cracker, The Yayhoos, Drivin' 'n Cryin', Townes Van Zandt, Nancy Sinatra, etc.

I heard some Esquivel on HBO's documentary GasLand that has me itchin' to go through my space-age bachelor pad collection. Maybe I'll have the time over the holiday weekend.
