JT + and Jenny Lewis

seriously...JT and i talking about that new Jenny Lewis track #3....crazy...my new fav tune....so many!

...partoook ina blunt... 'Rise up with Fists!!!' crazy man...!!!

great groove on that #3...soulfoul....reminds me a little of 'PewkaB'....seriously JJ...diggin' that groove? JJ...digging #4..that's exactly what you were talking about last night....super loud guitar...but really in background...nice guitar work...on this...underneath sounds live...

holy shit...this is insanity at the end of #4...literally...insane/sad background music over syruppy happy melody/delivery = genius......the listener can't help but to feel torn/discomfort/disconnected...then at real ends...mellows out again...with a neat smooth bookmark endinnn.

CMT....love/hate

So...played a little bit of hockey...checked out some dudes rehearsing...

Now i'm at home watching CMT. Just saw grand ol' opry with Emmy Lou Harris with Elvis Costello, Gillian Welch and David Rawlings. I mean.. a bunch of super cool cats together....very tasteful and laid back.

then...there's absolute shite after....

oh well.....i remember Emmy Lou once said that a little sugar's all right...but not too much...she would represent the non sugar...

....K.D. Lang is on.....good!!! from Emmy Lou to Toby Keith to K.D. Lang....man..up, down, up, down...!!

p.s. that's chris and chris at our little bush fire/jam party at our house...
