Yeah, the "punk" music of today is lame. I hate to sound like an old man, but if it was something new, I'd be more receptive. It's become "glam punk" the bands today are the Poisons and Faster Pussycats of the punk world. It's a bummer. Americana is still pretty underground. It's funny to see how pe...

I like Social D...and yeah, I grew up with the stuff. Lookout had some killer bands. All the one Gdavis mentioned AND the early Donnas records, Groovie Ghoulies plus more. Fat Wreck has put out some good albums too. A lot were NOFX bands-esque bands, but they've put out a lot of good bands over the ...

Meh...NOFX is one of the better bands from that California scene. They've done stuff their way and never went off to the industry's game. Fat Mike is a fine independent businessman and musician, honestly. There is a lesson in this...Don't take handouts from strangers. Heh. I see Mike Ness in your av...

I offered up the house. I need to take some pics of the living room...May be heading out east, Dev. Please, not Channelview. Not a good representation of the Houston area, dude. I can say that. My Dad and StepMom still live there. :wink: Any other time, I'd do it. We pride ourselves on having big r...

Yeah, Waylon was the name, but man, those songs defined the era, in my opinion. Also, I've seen a lot of these folks live, granted, in their old age, but NO ONE visibly FEELS the music like Shaver does. Dude lays it all out there like no one else, when it comes, he rides that feeling for all its wor...

Garth Brooks is a product of the Nashville machine. He gave the machine what it wanted. He's into KISS, so he brings the big show and theatrics but Mommy got him some cred to be "country". He's not better than Taylor Swift. I learned to play country riffs listening to Johnny Cash records. I wanted t...

All these blogs are leaving out 90% of the information. You should check out the SModcast Kevin Smith did on it. It tells the story pretty well. He already had 3 tickets for another flight, due to people backing out on the trip, but he moved up to an earlier flight. Got on the plane, got in his seat...

Sam, it is evident that you know very little about alt-country. Jon wrote "Indianapolis", not "Welfare Music". I know nothing about these new Jay/Esteban/Son Volt projects. NOTHING!!! Brian Then I'm the perfect fan for the new Alt Country, I won't notice what is different. Sad failure on my part. I...

The more I read, the more I believe Mark Spencer should be in all bands. I'd like to see a Henneman/Spencer fronted band. Even better, tour as Uncle Tupelo since they both played in the band a couple times. Get Max Johnston and Ken Coomer to join in. It'd be awesome. I'm ready for Alt. Country to be...

In all likelyhood, the Boquists got a better paying gig offered to them, made some new demands from Farrar to bring back Son Volt and bolted when Farrar didn't give in. From basic business practices, they waited until the day before they were set to hit the studio to demand additional considerations...
