To be fair, it appears that Gruff threw this together during the ride from Detroit to Chicago. The more I listen to this cover though, the more I love it.

As great as that is, it's tied with my other favorite Gruff moment.

I had met Gruff a handful of times at some SFA and solo shows. The last time we chatted, he told me that some of his SFA mates were doing a beer collaboration with a brewery. (http://tinyurl.com/kna9csw)

Effective metronome use is classic Gruff!

Some more Gruff Rhys holiday music!

I know Gruff just composed the soundtrack to the new Dylan Thomas biopic, "Set Fire to the Stars" Hopefully he will tour the US in the near future. Also, the Philly show was cancelled because his visa didn't come through quick enough (I had tickets to that show as well), so I know he is considering coming back to…

I didn't find them until Rings. But after listening to the first minute of Alternate Route to Vulcan Street on a in store display, I've been hooked for the last 14 years.

I've always been parital to this video!

I've been fortunate enough to meet and chat with Gruff on several occasions (cracking a beer with him after last month's Detroit show was an experience that will be hard to top.)

Nah, the man don't give a fuck.

Yes.

I'm pretty sure you have no idea what you are talking about…

True, but the vast majority of my shopping is done on-line or at beer stores, so I have been able to miss out on whatever "Shake It Off" is.
I'm so out of touch with whatever passes for Top 40, that I'm not sure I could even pick out a Taylor Swift song if played over a grocery store loudspeaker.

"We’ve been pretending not to move our feet to “Shake It Off” all summer,"

Apparently users such as PedanticEditorType do not understand how to use context and must self censor at every turn. PET most likely bleeped the word in his/her mind when reading this interview.

Learn to understand context.

The whole album is terrible.

All I'm saying is that you seem like a giant douche. So well played on the username, I guess.

No he did not. It has always been Graham Yost who defined (and continues to define) Justified. Mohamad Taugiq Morshidi, you used a terrible example.

I disagree. Show's like this are so defined by their creator, that when removed, only a pale imitation remains. No more episodes is better than fake episodes.
