Probably!

Big fan of her Plow King era stuff.

Which criterium is disallowing Hootie & the Blowfish from representing South Carolina? (Aside from their cassettes being cheaper than blank tape.) Is that all four members weren't born in SC? Seems nitpicky, since Darius Rucker's from Charleston, and the band formed in Columbia. Anyway, they're in or around the top…

Wouldn't you know, the album cover is repurposed as the book cover. And I agree with Hfuhruhurr, just an incredible read.

"Well God help us if Kevin Bacon dies."

The Hold Steady, Boys and Girls In America. Stuck Between The Stations—>Chips Ahoy.

An appreciated reprimand, since the quote in its proper form is far funnier.

Great news! Worthless humblebrag: I went to college with Chaz at U of South Carolina. I'm sure you're all very impressed. Anyway, I thought Underneath the Pine was terrific, so I'm a bit bummed to hear he's going away from the full band sound, but I have faith in his judgment. I loved Causers too.

I can't reply to the @avclub-3d0c04e65b6d37204e7b5a110235db2e:disqus post below but my god man (woman?), your dismissal of Duk Koo Kim is confusing. Writing off a Kozelek song for being "too damned long" is like pooh-poohing the Beach Boys for all those harmonies! It's just characteristic of the artist's material. And…
