The Music Thread

Any of you ever listened to Mermaid Avenue by Billy Bragg, Wilco, et al.? Performing Woody Guthrie songs that were apparently written but never recorded? From 2000, I think. Nearly every song is quite good. Some breathtakingly so. It's rare to find an album where every song is good, even among the greats.

I have both CDs.

Will go for a listen. In the meantime...

 
best thing i heard today.

Like Good Morning Vietnam, "i don't care what you play, just play it loud!"

 
I really hope y'all will listen to this song. It's by a friend of mine -- great Nashville singer-songwriter-rocker Tim Carroll. Many of his songs are loud boogie-woogie....lyrically smart and humorous. This is, I think, a perfect protest for today.

Please check it out.

Quite a propos.
 
Does anyone else know about this young artist, Scene Queen? OMG. I discovered her music this weekend. I think I have a crush. She describes her music as "bimbocore." It's heavy, it's sexy, it's catchy, it's sassy, it's moshy, oh damn. And it's sorta safe for work depending on where you work, but probably NSFW in some places.

"I'm gonna drink my whiskey, gonna have my man ""Spent all my money on absolutely nothing"
