Dead Confederate |

sup peoples? hey if you are in atlanta or within the vicinity and wanna win tickets to see cracker and dead confederate on 5.2, head on over to rich at cable and tweed to enter to win a pair.

texan austin collins the rainbirds’ roses are black has been quietly making its way into daily listening routine for the past month - dont think i am just noticing this! i have been on the lookout for some new countryish/rootsy rock records for a while, since some of my typical go-to’s have been getting a bit stale as of late - see whiskeytown and son volt catalogues, and there is only so much burrito brothers stuff i can listen to. roses are black has definitely been filling that void, nicely. its a great chill out, drinkin on the back/front porch in the middle of a summer day kinda record. this is not to say roses are black is one dimensional, oh contraire my good people, collins is a hell of songwriter there’s no doubt about it. forgot to mention that roses are black was produced by will johnson of centro-matic. btw, dual hawks is phenomenal.

ah, its shit like this that makes me laugh.

i noticed that the search function didnt work so swell with the last theme thus i am testing out new themes with the hopes of just sticking with one for a while. pardon the confusion.

it truly surprises me that there isnt much of a buzz about these dudes out of athens, dead confederate. maybe there has been, and i am just oblivious to it. buzz or no, this is some awesome shit. this is going to be lazy, but i am so its par for the course, but think bleach era nirvana crossed with crazy horse. they have a newer ep out now, and a full length due this spring.

they are currently on tour, and play at star bar in atlanta on 2.29 - definitely going to attempt to check em out.

here is the beatles’ rooftop concert and let it be rehearsals. for some reason, and i can only think its because it was released, but my version is missing “dont let me down” which is the actual 3rd track. then the let it be rehearsals are missing a couple of tracks, which i can only assume for the reason. more info here.
