Country / Alt-Country / Roots / Americana

I called this back in June and no one listened. People love to dance. People who are into music do not dictate what is popular or charts. Regular people who just want to get turn't do.
Right! I mean it is not a surprise, it could just as well be the Macarena or Achey-Breaky Heart. I was just surprised that I am that far out of the loop on something like this. To be that big of a hit you’d assume it’d be ubiquitous in popular culture and I hadn’t seen any references at all. lil’ Nas x was/is everywhere. It’s not exactly the same but it’s similar and I have not heard word one about this.

I mean, how many of us just know about lil nas x because we are Music nerds and it was a giant story. It didn't make my radar till It was already in contention of making its record. I'll also be the first to admit, I'm not exactly into what the kids are listening to these days.

Yeah, and what’s popular and what is cool is rarely the same. I know I am not hip to what is genuinely currently popular (I looked at the other charts, yikes! The whole rock list was basically Weezer, Tool, and Panic! At The Disco songs). I guess I assumed if such an odd song spent 11 week at #1 it would have drifted into my consciousness at some point. I am sure, moving forward, now that it’s in my bubble I will see it everywhere as is normally the case when stuff like this occurs.

Yep... I mean Neal Francis and Tyler Childers ain’t exactly tearing up the charts, but if you looked around here, you’d think they were the biggest thing going.
 
Managed to make it through the house for a night and the wife handed me a package from a friend of mine and his wife. These were the contents. View attachment 18394

I have really fucking awesome friends.
I just picked up that George Jones Greatest Hits the other day. Haven’t had a chance to spin it yet, The Race is On is an all time favorite of mine. Sweet package!
 
My brother turned me onto a guy named Vincent Neil Emerson. He saw him open for Colter Wall last year.

Anyway, his newest album is really solid and has a great name: Fried Chicken and Evil Women.

Well I'm high as a fly on Willie Nelson's Wall...


I have been listening to this album A LOT since it's release. It needs to be pressed on wax ASAP.
 
Jason Aaron writes awesome Comics so this is cool.

I did watch the movie last night, I enjoyed it. It's fun. Kind of like an anime version of Heavy Metal.

Yeah, Jason Aarons Thor run is probably the best run Ive ever read on that series. Havent watched the Anime yet but Im pumped for this

Scalped is phenomenal too. At one point I think they were talking about turning it into a TV series. Gritty crime noir set on a modern day Indian reservation. If you are into that sort of thing definitely worth picking up the trade(s).

I have dropped a Matt Heckler video on here before but this latest one, beyond the wonderful performance; is just a sight to behold. It makes me wanna hop on a plane to visit @Joe Mac on the Emerald Isle. Also, from an engineering standpoint to get this great of a recording at a place that I would assume is windy AF is pretty astounding.
