jason isbell has four FOUR shows coming up at the Ryman and they all sold out in a matter of minutes as well.

His latest album is a masterpiece imo

Speaking of lyrics, holy [expletive] the rap stuff my daughter is listening to these days.

I urge everyone here who hasn't heard of Shakey Graves to check this guy out. I think it's been mentioned already so i'd just like to reiterate.

Caught his performance last night and its nothing short of incredible.

A+ rec

I haven't listened to it yet but I believe you. Almost anything he touches is a masterpiece.

Today is the 40th Anniversary of Born To Run, one of my desert island discs.

It is also the 20th Anniversary of Out Come the Wolves, which is not, but it was from about 1998 - 2006. One of the best punk albums ever.

I think the real reason Rancid struck a chord with me and with people like me is that their whole thing was about being proud. It was about standing up for yourself and for your friends.

Yo-Yo Ma is coming. I'd love to see the world's foremost (best? maybe someone who knows could offer info there), playing the world's most beautiful $2.5 million instrument.

But it's sold out and the cheapest aftermarket ticket so far is $750, so maybe I won't make it.

Read that, and I'm excited in a low-key, mildly ironic indie kind of way for it. The lead single is great.

A group of random, middle-aged Scandinavian men write most of the top 40 pop songs in the US today, and have for the past decade.
