In The CD Player
Chris Whitley - All his cd's I own
Drive-By Truckers - "Southern Rock Opera"
The first cd from Athens, Georgia based Drive-By Truckers that I bought. Wow ... this one still does it for me. A two-disc essay on the duality of being southern in a modern world .... growing up in segragated Alabama in the Wallace era and learning to embrace your heritage without embracing the hate and negative aspects .... all set to a grinding southern rock soundtrack! Should have won a Grammy!
Brand new disc from King's X .... "Ogre Tones" is arguably their strongest effort in the last 5 years. Hasn't been out of my player since it came out in late September. Catch them on tour this winter and next spring if you can!
Still my favorite disc by one of my favorite bands. The Cult aren't doing anything at the moment ... but a reunion has been hinted at online recently. This is one of those classic cd's that just begs to be played at maximum volume!!
Might Could - "All Intertwined"
Phenomenal disc by Maryland based Might Could .... a four-piece instrumental guitar group. Wow ... very hard to describe. Neo-classical, rockin' .... jazzy ..... acoustic guitar in ensemble format .... I would love to see these guys live!!!
My Favorite Links
MySpace.com ... my other homepage!! - Check it out and leave me a comment!
King's X - Homepage of Texas rock trio King's X. The real "little ol' band from Texas"!
Drive-By Truckers - Homepage of Athens, Georgia based, north Alabama transplants Drive-By Truckers. Quite possibly the best
live band on the planet ... next to King's X, or course!
Fark.com - All the offbeat and wacky news you can use!!
theforce.net - Star Wars news and links. Actually cooler than the official site!
Hearts on the Mend - Yahoo group devoted to helping those whose relationships have ended. Some of the nicest
folks you'll ever meet on this planet. Everyone there is suffering from a breakup and willing to talk and help.
clevernothing.org - A witty little forum with few rules and interesting people!
Yahoo games - Play online games in real time against real people all over the world. You might find
me in the Cribbage rooms, or losing "virtual money" hand over fist at a Texas Holdem Poker Table. Look for "webturbo"
