I just happen to have a picture of me and Jason together. He's not doing too well in this shot. I just got done helping him clean his wounds from a nasty fall.

This is at least as good as I hoped it would be, if not much much better. I've only had it a day so far.

Nice pic Spud.

Thanks to Stephen Colbert for having Costello, Ribot, and Tweedy in the same week. Now that's a Christmas miracle.

Diane Birch - Bible Belt
Blue eyed soul singer/song writer with a great voice, but sometimes lacking the authenticity that makes R&B/soul so good to listen to.


Royal Thunder - CVI


Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers - Into the Great Wide Open


Shelby Lynne - Suit Yourself

Rain Dogs which exists in a perpetual tie with Miles' In a Silent Way at the top of my all time list. It's too difficult to choose between them because both mean so much to me for completely different reasons.

But, if the question was favorite rock/pop album of all time it'd be Rain Dogs by a ridiculously wide margin. It was the album that introduced me not only to Waits but to Ribot. Quantifying that influence is an impossibility.

Marc Ribot's Really the Blues
Live 09/15/11 @ Iridium Jazz, NYC

From marcribot.com

This band isn't a tribute to anything, except the form itself, black America's ' birth of tragedy', a rhythmic platform on which one can hear a human being, armed only with a Fender Jaguar guitar, contest their fate.

The starting points are mid 50's Chicago, and a certain kind of soul jazz one could hear on late night radio if one happened to live near Newark, New Jersey in the late 60's. The endpoint isn't fixed, the capacity for misreading infinite.
