hey congrats to all you bosox fans out there. i, like the rest of the country probably, didnt think they were going to make it out of the alcs, but what the hell do i know? i expected my sox to have won at least 2-3 world series by now. considering that they have the same freakin team as 05! anyway, those rookies really carried em, which bodes well for the future. could it be possible that arod might be a sock next summer now that he has opted out of his contract with the yanks? man, i would love if the white sox got him. nay, they need to get him. no matter the price. by the way, papelbon needs to just stop.
dont know if you guys have checked out this comp called folk music for the end of the world, but its pretty great. its put out by yer bird records and features a lot of great performers including j tillman, hayden, travel by sea - whose new record i cant wait for, aline simone, chris bathgate, paleo and matthew ryan amongst others. one thing i really dig about it is that it flows really well and no track seems outta place - which is a major downfall of a lot of comps. its definitely worth your investment.

staying on the topic of folk music for the end of world, i wanted to make special mention of two of the artists. first being paleo, who has just wrapped up his song a day for a year project. i havent listened to only but a few, but they are cool for what they are - raw recordings. check em out here. he plays in athens on the 17th of december at the flicker. the other artist in question is michael metivier’s oweihops. his contribution to the comp is beautiful little tune called “sad little drunks.” hoping that the rest of his stuff was as grand, i hopped over to his myspace page and i can confidently say that it is. his new record, cinquefoil, can be downloaded/purchased on his myspace page.
this is the earliest tupelo recording i have heard and as luck would have it, its a great recording. here they are playing at the blue note on 8.22.88.

Great stuff. It’s cool to hear them from so early. I noticed that Jay is more PC than Johnny was on Cocaine Blues: “I can’t forget the day I shot that bad [woman] down”
It’s all clear to me now why they broke up. Farrar never let Tweedy sing. Too bad.
captains dead: thanks so much for the kind words on cinquefoil. much appreciated!
wow. awsome. totally awsome. love the setlist.
yeah, you’re right paul. seemed strange to me as well.
most definitely, michael. i look forward to getting an actual copy, probably today, of cinquefoil.
And thank you for the kinds words about the comp! It is certainly a labor of love and a joy to get out there.
you bet morgan, it truly is a great comp. definitely one of the best i have heard in a long while. keep it up the great work.
