Yup...country music.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwww!!!



It needed to be said.

Anyways, I've been compiling a lot of songs that I want to put onto a mixtape/dj mix I'm tentatively calling Cowboys and Indie Kids, which is mainly music for a modern day cowboy.  Mainly lots of blues, but quite a bit of alt-country.

Incidentally Rev, I saw Calexico down here at a music festival last year and they blew the place apart.  Great act all round.


Not sure if it counts, but in particular I've been listening to alot of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club.


The video for this song is awesome, but it is NSFW.

I have CDs by Johnny Cash and Hank Williams Sr.. I love a couple of Canadian bands with a distinctive country rock sound including the Skydiggers and Blue Rodeo.

New "country" is a f**king joke. I can't say I'm the biggest fan of "old" country, but I do happen to be partial to Merle Haggard, John Prine and Patsy Cline when I'm in the mood.

I forgot John Prine (probably because I think of him more as folk).

I also forgot the Mekons, godfathers of country punk and alt-country generally.

I really like this song when I heard it on the radio years back. Reminds me of something Neil Young might do.
