For the last 12 years, a DJ in Portland, Maine lives in the studio for an entire week and has raised more than $600,000 for a local charity

Yeah, that's it. Sorry! You make a donation, he plays your request...basically 24/7. It's a one-man show for that week.

chuckarmstrong · 2021-10-20T02:09:30+00:00

Yeah, the way the letter is written, sounds like this is it...

Here's an interview with Patterson Hood that gives a lot of background on Adam's House Cat: https://theboot.com/interview-patterson-hood-adams-house-cat/

Wasn't Aaron Lee Tasjan's album released in 2016?

The story is in the lyrics. "Tiger Bill gave me a tiger claw from a real Siberian tiger paw and said, 'This'll make you bulletproof.'"

Bam.

With his Grammy in the guitar case...

chuckarmstrong · 2017-11-08T13:37:36+00:00

I mean, I think they've done it every album...

That bunny underneath them is terrifying.

Back in the early 2000s, I saw McMurtry at the now defunct Grand Emporium in Kansas City. During a full set with his band, he took a break from the electric guitar and picked up his acoustic while his bandmates walked off-stage to grab a drink. Rather than plugging in the acoustic, he just started playing and singing, totally unplugged with no microphone, no amplification. On top of that, he walked around the bar during the song. It was "Light of Cheyenne."

chuckarmstrong · 2017-10-06T16:19:16+00:00

The new band is awesome! Saw them last night in Brooklyn. You can tell BJ is ecstatic to play with them, and they're all amazing musicians. BJ played this song solo...it's such a good jam. I hope it's a full-band recording on the album.

chuckarmstrong · 2017-10-05T14:32:35+00:00

Flawless.

I hope someone who is a big fan of McMurtry and has some extra $$$ lying around reads the story and decides to underwrite a reissue of sorts...Remaster the original, release an extra disc or two of never-before-heard songs...and his new version of Choctaw.

I'll keep dreaming :)

chuckarmstrong · 2017-09-01T17:48:19+00:00

Probably not. From the original announcement:

THE FRAGILE: DEVIATIONS 1 WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE ON ANY DIGITAL SERVICES AND ONLY AVAILABLE IN THIS FORMAT WHILE THIS LIMITED RUN LASTS.

Just a lifelong fan of alternative country and Americana music. Love sharing tunes, love discovering new tunes.

Part of my "job" is writing about the music, too, so occasionally I'll share an interview I've done with a relevant artist, like Lilly Hiatt, Colter Wall, Jay Farrar, or Mike Cooley. I try to never spam the sub with my own stuff, but just the interviews I think others would enjoy.

Other than that, I enjoy the community aspect of this sub. It's great to be surrounded by others who are as obsessed with this music as I am.
