Gotcha. I felt it was more for honoring artists who had a more fallow period in their later careers and could use a renaissance, I wasn't trying to be snarky. And, goddam is that record good!

Hasil Adkins! Yes! Do the Hunch, everybody!

I loved Johnny Cash well before the American Records, too. Man, silly is a sadly dismissive take on some seriously heavy shit and death staring, but, to each their own, right? Cheers.

Jawbreaker never had the career dip to warrant inclusion, they just broke up.

Did you listen to "The Next Day"? Bowie's fine.

How was Johnny Cash with Will Oldham an example of being homogenized? And do you mean all six albums or just the first?

The Wanda Jackson one was a killer, as well.

We used to yell that when I bartended every St Pattys Day.

Maybe if he could spare some pants for those runaway teenage boys he keeps taking in.

Linklater wanted "12 Years" for the title, which would have been better, but "12 Years a Slave" came out last year.

The Kasey Chambers song whose name escapes me was marvelously used.

And if you did get the job with no front of house experience, just a business degree, you would get zero respect and suck at it, as well.

Are you pissed because someone gave you Heineken? There are other options!

Well played, everybody!

There's a book called "The Rest is Noise" about 20th century classical that's a great layman'a read as well. Alex Ross, I think.

Ah, thanks for that. We had a big nazi problem in the 90s and I remember seeing that shit all the time (until their asses got flattened by the SHARPs, that is) and wondering.

Precisely. H is the 8th letter, HH=Heil Hitler. I'm not sure where the 13 or 14 you usually see next to it derives from, though.

Hilariously, I'm watching the Parks episode with Charles Mulligans Steakhouse right now!

Just saw Abysmal Dawn with 1349 last week, they were great!

Terry Riley and Steve Reich are minimalists in the same vein as Phillip Glass, although not exactly the same. Fantastic composers.
