sup peoples? if you have not noticed i have had to disable the music player that usually accompanies all posted tracks. there has been some unscrupulous activity going on behind the scenes and until i ban all the ip’s, which is about half of china, that are causing all the issues, the music player will remain down. you can, of course, still download the stuff as usual and if you want to stream it just click on the track. a new window should open up.
for those in the atlanta area, lucero is playing at the earl tomorrow evening. unfortunately, i will not be in attendance due to scheduling conflicts. they are coming back sometime in october though.
two other atlanta shows i wanted to make mention of, and are both free, are jason isbell at the park tavern on 9.9 and the apples in stereo, also at the park tavern on 9.23. its part of 99x’s unplugged in the park series.
have you folks heard of caleb boddicker, or boddicker for short, as of yet? its wunderkind’s like this that just make me sick. the story goes that at 16 he recorded a 22 track demo in his bedroom and ended up sending up 1000 copies of it. of course, his run of good luck doesnt end there. if it did i probably wouldnt be talking him now would i? isaac brock ended up getting his paws on a copy and passed it along to the folks at sub pop. fast forward 4 years and he is doing a 3 week recording stint, which would result in his official debut record big lionhearted and the gallant man, with my man brian deck at engine studios. it would seem that this pairing of boddicker and deck was a no brainer if not a match made in some weird alternate universe. boddicker’s brand of microphones/califone/sparklehorse brand of disjointed pop is a deck specialty. check it!
big lionhearted and the galant man is coming out via banter records on 10.2
