Just finished this week's show which features an intvw with moderne country siren Laura Cantrell. She was nice enough to let me intrude on that most sacred part of any parent's day (naptime...), to tell us about her latest release, "Trains and Boats and Planes." I routinely check out her Radio Thriftshop show in order to get schooled on honky tonk new and old. I am longtime admirer of her theme song and am in deepest envy of her cool logo, of which I am sorely in need of.
Not as much as I seem to be in need of a daily dose off Colourmusic's new track, Yes! however. To me it smacks of the Beta Band, but my friend Sam thinks not. Speaking of which, their once and future frontman, Steve Mason has a new project called Black Affair. The last time I saw Steve he was sitting in a tiny trailer with the rest of the Betas just prior to a summer gig they did in Atlanta with Radiohead. Four Scotsman, limited A/C...the air was...um, not the freshest.
It's past 1AM in Athens, Georgia and the day's lingering humidity has forced me to abandon my smoke (Romeo y Julieta) to the outside ashtray and seek relief indoors where I'm researching an article I'm working up on Woodstock. The mother of all pop festivals will be staring down it's 40th anniversary next year and I'm looking for attendees and and performers to tell me their tales of mud, madness, and music.
