Holy crap, I’m back! Yeah, sorry for the time off. I needed a break — this was starting to feel too much like work for a while, and that’s the last thing I want. I may not keep it up monthly, and I may mess with the format here and there, but I’m gonna try to at least keep something up.

There’s been so much great music between then and now. My friend, Clint Fisher and I got on a long kick uncovering gem after gem from the psychedelic movement in the 60’s; I spent a long time exploring British folk-rock by the likes of Fairport Convention, The Pentangle and Fotheringay; I started listening to country in full force. Too much to catch up on, so I’m just gonna jump back into it with February 2008:

Listening to:
- Townes Van Zandt, Towns Van Zandt, Townes Van Zandt! Seriously, anything I can get my hands on. Flyin’ Shoes, Delta Momma Blues, Townes Van Zandt, & Our Mother the Mountain. How did I get this far in life and not find him? Special thanks to Clint for getting me started on this one.
