Here's my opinions:
those 3 days = good
janie jones = good
two shoes = would be good if not for that lame spoken word stuff
ohio river boat song=pretty good
sowedontlivealone = pretty good. but who uses mp2 files? it's like betamax tape
as for the rest, some of it was pretty good. some of it was real sh*t though!

I still can't get this song to play. 
But I went ahead and read the lyrics online (not the same... I know, I know) to see how closely it is related to Faulkner's short story...
It reads as a very sad and tragic sort of song...but if it is meant to be from the story it leaves out the best part (that she murdered her fiance and has been sleeping next to his rotting corpse in the same bed for decades...)
I would like to hear the actual song though...any thoughts on how to get it to work? |

billyb, all good choices; I like Dwight Yoakam better than the Mountain Goats, if I had to choose. I'll Be Gone is the best of the group; I especially like the pitch breaks in the vocal and the overall rawness of its sound.
It's an mp2 because JWH puts stuff up on his website on a regular basis for free for his fans and doesn't update formats. He also has a taping area set up at each concert and promotes the trading of concert tapes on the forums on his website. It's a different approach to making a living as a musician, but it works for him. |

thankyou. i figured both of those would be real hit-or-miss love'em-or-hate'ems so i'm glad somebody liked them.
If you've got more good country, I'll all about it. I love most types of country, even the commercial radio stuff like Alabama and Randy Travis. |

I've been back in western Kentucky two weeks this past month, helping out with my father. I drove everywhere, and he has the radio set to the local country station (quite a good one), so I got a full dose of what's popular now. Country doesn't get enough respect for how good it is around here.
Have you ever heard the Warren Zevon - Dwight Yoakam duet, Heartache Spoken Here? |

Apologies, I'd deleted because I ran out of space. Here ya go again  : http://fileanchor.com/72967-d
Didn't think much of the country or metal there, gents. A country song I love is 'Thousand Miles from Nowhere' by Dwight Yoakam. It's on the end of a movie staring Nicholas Cage (title?) and it blew me away. Country and metal are alike in the respect that 90% of both are total crap, but that 10% is gold. |

Here is Gogol Bordello, and like the title of their first album, they're gypsy punks, with a singer from the Ukraine. Greatest thing I've heard in a while. Couldn't decide on a single song, so I just grabbed one called 'Oh No.' They're all good.

Here is a heavy blues rock band from Japan called Zoobombs. Track is called 'Black Ink Jive.'

And on a quieter note, Peter Laughner's 'In the Bar.' The quality's not very good, but he died before he could make much in the studio. Pity.

I don't know if I pasted the files correctly, so if it doesn't work, let me know. |

This is the band that meets Safran at the train station in the movie, Everything is Illuminated. I believe it's the band's leader who plays the key role of the tour guide in the film. Very underappreciated film. Cool band. |

You'll be amused to know the lead singer of Drowningman recently moved to Korea to try teaching English. He found it not to his liking, generally annoyed a lot of people, borrowed a whole bunch of money for prescription drugs, and just recently fled back to the safety of the US. |
