hope everyone had a lovely weekend. i, for one, am on day 9 of my 11 day stint of working. so, my weekend was pretty much made up of playing transformers, working and sleeping. good times.

if you havent checked out justin townes earle’s the good life, you probably should. he definitely has more than enough talent to break outta the grips of being constantly compared to and referred to as steve earle’s kid. i dont want to say that this is a straight up country record, cause it isnt, but its pretty damn close. when i say country record, i am referring to the classics of yore. by the way, if you get a chance to see him live, you should probaby do that too - he’s funny and energetic as hell.

i havent seen the peter jackson/mike j. fox tour de force, the frighteners, in well probably since it was released all the way back in 96. having seen dead alive recently there are definitely a lot stylistic qualities between the two. having not seen the frighteners in so long i must contend that it has held up pretty well.

so, jason isbell plays the 40 watt tomorrow evening and then two shows in atlanta on tuesday - the first at 7 @ criminal then the full fledged show @ the earl at 9. anyone going to either the in store or the earl? needless to say i am super excited not only for seeing jason but seeing justin townes earle, son of steve earle, as well. his 07 ep, yuma, is pretty damn solid and considering his pedigree it definitely makes one wish for a future as strong has his fathers.

yuma can be purchased via his myspace page

also on the bill is atlantian ben trickey who very well could be the sbd act of the evening - if you dont know what sbd stands for ask any 12 year old or google it. after listening to his stuff i can definitely say i am impressed with his minimalistic bedroom like recordings. there’s definitely a early will oldham circa palace brothers vibe happening, maybe its just the recordings, but either way i dig him.

oh yeah, jason’s sirens of the ditch comes out on tuesday. so, pick it up. as it stands today, sirens is definitely in my top 3 of the year, and it wouldnt surprise me if it ended up being number one.

i am sure the ladybirds have been getting mass amounts of play around the interweb, cause they just seem like they should. i am still a bit confused by em, to be honest. this track “the brown and red divide” is pretty cool but i dont know how they would fair over an entire record. its like listening to a digitized cyndi lauper in a classic nintendo game.

the brown and red divide

their full length debut, regional community theatre, comes out 8.21.

tonight is another stellar performance by my new main lady, a spot once held by ms marshall, joanna newsom. here she is in nashville on 6.30.04.
