i was a big fan of blitzen trapper’s last record, wild mountain nation, and as it turns out i am becoming an even bigger fan of their upcoming release, furr. this one is definitely more focused, maybe due in part to their recent sub pop signing who knows, but it is definitely welcomed. they are musically all over the map, ranging from 90’s lo-fi, pyche-folk, alt-country, and a bunch of other dashes i cant think of at the moment. regardless of their psychitzophrenic nature nothing on furr seems out of place, though their may be a few what the fuck moments sprinkled throughout but they only add to the records many charms. furr is out on the 23rd of september.

riyl: grateful dead, dylan, pavement, eagles?, avett bros, etc…

make sure you check out their daytrotter session from late last year.

anyone got an invite to pownce they could send my way? not too sure what i would use it for but it sounds interesting nonetheless. if you do have one to spare and wish to waste it on yours truly send it to me at gregor at captainsdead dot com. thanks in advance!

ok, i got one from through this pretty cool site i found through alexa. its called invite share and people offer up their invites to beta/invite sites like pownce, joost, etc.  it works pretty well considering i got an invite to pownce in like 5 minutes. if anyone one wants a invite to pownce i got six.

two concert reminders for the atlanta area!

david vandervelde is playing with blitzen trapper @ the drunken unicorn on friday night. i will not be in attendance, but i definitely want to hear how he is live. so, if you go let me know.

richard buckner with six parts seven and trappers cabin will be playing @ the earl on saturday. i am hoping to be in attendance. i have seen richard a bunch of times but never with a full band. so, this should be pretty damn cool.

i am quite intrigued by trappers cabin - a local atlanta/athens outfit, i assume. i dont know if its one guy or what but judging by the amount of stuff he/they have produced over the past few years he/they are definitely treading into uncle bob waters. some of the stuff is kinda quirky but still very solid. he does a great cover of elliot’s “rose parade” sounds quite a bit like him too.

as much as i am going to miss jason in dbt there is still no denying that they are one of the best bands in rock n roll. this just means cooley will hopefully get more exposure and that is definitely a good thing. any word on a cooley solo record ore when patterson’s new solo is coming out? here they are playing at the high sierra fest in quincy, ca on 7.6.07. thanks to the original taper!
