and, you know, when I tell people I’ll be crossing the country by train this fall, they just don’t get it.

It’s nice to know we can always count on some Allgood. Nice to know.

Um, I saw Wolfmother at the Drunken Unicorn in Atlanta recently, and honestly, even I like the sound, they have the WORST lyrics I have ever heard in my entire life, and I get paid to listen to bad lyrics. Were they actually Black Sabbath and were it actually 1973 and were we all stoned as shit, it might be cool for a second, but it’s not and we’re not so they’re not.

wowzers.

i think robbie robertsons “somewhere down the crazy river” would fit nicely on this list (although the word train isn’t in the title)

jerry’s version of mystery train is way gooder than the bands. much less ghost worldy.

So who are you Spencer? Jane commenter or a music fan? Are you the one who told JANE about Ray L.? Though it seems critical, i want to say that your pushes in music have been amazing and perfect and lucky you, you are too smart for NYC.

any opportunity to hear tom waits perform live is possibly one of the most important events in life, period. hearing him tell a story about civil war immaculate conception is, well, indescribable. thank you, sir.
