A.A. Bondy




So Kush turned me on to this guy the other day and now I can't quit listening.
A.A. Bondy broke from his former band Verbena to release American Hearts which sounds like the son of slaid cleaves who drank too much whiskey and stayed up all night listening to blood on the tracks (bob dylan). Anyone who likes harmonica, whiskey, soft guitar, campfires and soul will love this.
I posted a link to a live performance. Enjoy
Thanks kush

Mr. Christmas

Went out today with my wife to purchase our first Christmas tree, not only in new house, but period. Went down all excited and full of Christmas cheer, until while standing in line we encountered MR CHRISTMAS!! In case you don't know this man, he is the person who like in the Christmas vacation movies would want the biggest, brightest tree, yet not in the charming fashion that clark griswald wanted it, no this man was only interested in beating his chest to show his power, I think he also talks real loud on his cell phone in a crowded area, that guy! We were in line and he started yelling at the tree man to ask where to buy the tree he was holding, not noticing there was a line of people buying tree's in front of him. Always the comedian, when the tree man skipped me to help the screaming man he looked at me with a shit eating grin and said " man looks like I got right in front of you, ha". Me being the level headed, understanding type I just smiled, this man proceeded to yell at his wife, the tree man again and I think even the tree.
What I learned on this day is that Christmas is fucking serious and if you want the best tree you better be Mr. Christmas, this shit only comes around once a year dammit I won't be outdone.
Anyway, I thought it was funny, Merry Fucking Christmas!!!!

Resurrection of Public Radio!!!!

Finally public radio is alive and well in Dallas/Ft.Worth!!!!!
A couple of my friends had been urging me to listen and naturally I was reluctant to give
the f.m. radio a chance, after all it has been years since I have even tuned to fm. Thank God for Satellite.
But Alas, I confess
91.7 kxt is greatness
For anyone who likes the o's, jason isbell, talking heads, rose county fair, iron and wine and a host of other great bands you will love this channel.
If you can get through the world cafe you'll love it.
Check out online for live instudio performances (jason isbell)

Glitter and Doom Live!!!!


I just can't get enough of Tom Waits! I had the chance to see this tour twice last year and I have to say this album brings it all back. It also comes with an album full of his stage banter which is almost as entertaining as the music.
Fannin Street is the perfect soundtrack for a whiskey soaked thanksgiving. Cheers!
