Just in case you thought I was slipping in my Grace love . . .

One more from the Northampton, MA show from awhile back. I’ll be seeing them again on Sunday, can’t wait (I even created a blog category just for them).

Relationship songs . . .
Richard Thompson - “Beeswing”

Lyrics
“Wall Of Death” - covered nicely by R.E.M.

“1952 Vincent Black Lighting” - The guitar playing . . . oh man

Via Doctor Mooney’s 115th Dream comes The Rosewood Thieves.

Think of their first EP From The Decker House as a mix of The White Album ‘n Harvest. But on their second EP Lonesome the band has taken a slightly more adventurous route and sounds like it belongs down ‘round the bend on Nashville’s Music Row, an […]

Amazon’s new e-book device from two people who I tend to read quite a bit. Mark Pilgrim and John Gruber.
For some reason I like this quote from 1984 very much
Day by day and almost minute by minute the past was brought up to date. In this way every prediction made by the Party could be […]

Fascinating article about the “meaning” behind photographs. Give yourself some time - but since Errol Morris is involved - you should make it.

I spent a considerable amount of time looking at the two photographs and thinking about the two sentences. Sontag, of course, does not claim that Fenton altered either photograph after taking them – […]

“Wild Horses” - Grace Potter w/ Gov’t Mule

Roseland Theater, Portland, OR - 11/14/07 (Andy Schneider recording)
Nice pacing and smooth vocals from both Grace and Warren. I look forward to seeing what happens at Warren’s XMas Jam.

Acoustic Demo By The Stones

“Come Together” - Grace Potter and the Nocturnals with Warren Haynes

The band has also been producing […]

Aquarium Drunkard has been covering the news about Cat Power’s upcoming covers release pretty thoroughly over the last few weeks.

The Jukebox Origins and True Blue.
A cover of Joni Mitchell’s Blue? This will be good.
Joni Mitchell - Blue

Cat Power - A Song To Bobby

From the HBO show “Tell Me You Love Me”
“Maybe” - Janis Joplin

This was a perfect choice. Explaining the context would be a bit much, suffice it to say that an incredibly repressed and sad couple are trying to find their way back to knowing each other.

Grace in the Idaho Statesman (I am not making the “Statesman” thing up)

Don’t divorce you’re wife just because I said one line.

You said this Gov’t Mule run is your first tour on a real bus. Are you on the bus now? It’s so quiet.
I am. And I’m not wearing any underwear.

You could have told me […]
