| drive by truckers I used to see them in the early-mid 90's at a O'Neileigh's, a one-trailer bar in Macon GA. They were like Appalachian punk, with banjos and mandolins. Years later, I heard they'd achieved wider acclaim, so I saw them at Austin City Limits. Good fo... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Puh-leeaze. Any piece of music that can be so easily killed just by digitization, well, it must not have been very soulful to begin with. People who think vinyl is "soulful" and that CD's aren't, they clearly have no historical perspective. They'r... | |
