Quarterlife Party features clips of five tracks from the new Ryan Adams CD Cardinology. I think this album is going to take a few listens to get into.
Muzzle of Bees gives us a heads-up on the new Oasis album. NOW I’m interested!

I don’t usually use this space to express my political opinions. As much as I support Barack Obama for President, I’m not making annoying phone calls (I hate getting them), and I’m not knocking on doors waving a survey. I’m using my own blogspace to speak my views on the coming U.S. Presidential election. [...]
I’m taking a break today from Uncle T’s adventures at Austin City Limits so I can talk about this wonderful album I have been listening to.
Outside Our Gates, released in early September, is Liz Durrett’s third full-length album. Her papery-dry whisper of a singing voice has been compared to Cat Power’s, but there [...]
Uncle T wound up Day 2 at Austin City Limits with this dynamite duo and the legendary T-Bone Burnett on guitar. “Battle of Evermore!” Wowza! That’s one of my favorite Led Zep songs.

Robert Plant and Alison Krauss
I caught the last 30 minutes of this amazing set. They sounded magnificent; much more powerful than [...]
Uncle T continues with Austin City Limits, Day 2, delving into gospel, RnB, soul, and funk. I hear a lot in the Lee Boys that reminds me of the Allman Brothers at their peak, and I’m aware that the Allmans took a lot of influence from black southern blues.

So how many of the nearly 1,000 Reckoner remixes (at the time of this writing) have you listened to? Speaking for myself, only very small fraction, and some of them I haven’t cared for very much.
Here is one that I do like. It’s by Brendan Merrick, a young Scotsman from the Glasgow area, [...]
Bad news: as of this post, the website that hosts our blogroll (blogrolling.com) is down. I stupidly don’t have any of my favorite blogs bookmarked, depending only on the links on SoD to read them. So instead of going down the blogroll list, I went through Hype Machine. I vow to bookmark [...]

Today we have another installment of Uncle T’s Day 1 at Austin City Limits with one of his long-time favorites, Alejandro Escovedo and his band. These wonderful live MP3s are from Escovedo’s performance on September 8 at the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach, CA, except for “Sister Lost Soul” with its irresistible violin [...]
