Can someone with an American account in America tell me whether Valcour Records is still on eMu? They are a Cajun/Zydeco label in Louisiana and I buy everything they put out sound unheard, everything's fantastic if you like those genres (run part…

And last night I saw Lindi Ortega who is an an excellent, very charismatic Canada-now-Nashville country singer who manages to do a retro thing with a definite distinct look in a way which could be grating but isn't, it's sincere and fresh. Incredib…

In addition to Hard Again, Muddy at Newport 1960 album is an absolute classic. His most recent release Cotton Mouth Man from 2013 is really, really good. Has a bunch of famous people (Keb Mo, Ruthie Foster, Joe Bonnamassa, an Allman, Delbert McLint…

@luddite There are various extensions and widgets for downloading videos from youtube. In my experience a bit hit and miss so you might have to try a couple. I would google '…

Looks like B.B is only playing 15 minute shows these days too ..... Sad.

Am I such a square you don't think I can handle hardcore punk? ;-P
Two albums or EPs or singles or whatever they are on eMusic can be had for $2.45 which is coincidentally what I have in my balance so I'm going to buy them without listen… -
As I just did the maths for the blog post I'm writing about it, I can tell you exactly how long Bruce Springsteen plays -at least the six shows I saw in February: 3hr 24m, 3hr 48m, 2hr 59m, 2hr 58m, 3hr 06m, 3hr 43m.
ANYWAY, I'm intrigu… -

Have I repped Engrenages on Netflix streaming? Recommended if you can tolerate subtitles (or speak French) and don't mind The Shield-esque grittiness and violence. Also gets better after the first season IMHO.

Felicity came out when I was in high school and I LOVED it. Try to get past the first episode .... ;-) Also love The Americans. As someone said on Twitter - Felicity is a spy now, Noel is a spy now (on Scandal) what espionage is Ben up to??

Got a ticket to Bobby Keys and the Suffering Bastards show on Sunday in Sydney which are going ahead despite the overall Stones tour being postponed. I hear Mick Taylor is still in the country so might get a cameo...
Also have a big 6 w… -
I was talking to a friend the other day about the chronic condition of Netflix Paralysis. Where you just sit there and stare at your queue for an hour and end up not watching anything. Usually my antidote is just to pick something at random from…

Just finished a 10 day, 6 show, 3 state odyssey following Springsteen around Australia. It was pretty incredible. Plan to write a longish blog post about it. Back to work and the real world tomorrow ;-(
Next gig I think is Booker T a… -
HBO has released a 15 minute Game of Throne preview. Nothing spoilery at all but book readers might notice a few sly things. (it is called 'foreshadowing' after all). It seems like a cool cast. I am most excited about THE RED VIPER FRACK YEAH…

Correction on GoT return date - HBO announced today it's back April 6th.
I binge watched Scandal seasons 2 and 3 last week- ridiculous bit ridiculously entertaining! -
The Dexter season with John Lithgow (4? or 3?) is very good but other than that I was just hatewatching it the last few years. The last season and finale was truly absurd in the worst possible way.
Game of Thrones is back in March I beli… -
^^^ I just started that Manson book yesterday, too. Bit of happy xmas reading ...
My goodreads stats was 33, 618 pages GULP. -
Currently reading The People in the Photo (French: Eux sur la photo) which after winning a million literary awards in France is coming out en anglais. I won a review copy in a Twitter competition.

Well, after just being here in March (after being away for a decade) Springsteen has announced another tour for February. I saw the three Sydney shows in March (see upthread) but am going all out this time - Melbourne, Sydney, Hunter Valley winery …

Ps. HELLO, CAROL!

Vince Gilligan and Bryan Cranston (supported I gather by Sony which owns it) wanted two final seasons of BB at the normal 13 episodes each but AMC would only go 8 and 8. There was some tsuris between seasons a couple of years back that Sony was sh…

I think the first time I saw that joke was the day after Breaking Bad first appeared ... ;-)
Americans, "Broadchurch" is about to start in the US - a superior crime mystery and highly recommended. -
I had a mission of rewatching all of Sopranos (started a couple days before Gandolfini died) so that basically monopolised my entire viewing time for a month. It was great to do but now Im waaay behind of all my other teevee.

I also love Steve Young (none available for me on eMu though alas). He does get overlooked but his first album in the late 60s had Gram Parsons, Gene Clark, James Burton on it - he really as part of the pioneering generation of country rock etc. …

If others here are as obsessed with Breaking Bad as I am , maybe we need a separate thread for its upcoming finale eight episodes ...
The show I most want to evangelise at the moment is Orphan Black, scifi/thriller I expected nothing fr… -
They haven't cast Maergery's father yet so I doubt it will be the wedding but I can think of something else that would make a good finale ending ....

That Philly soul article is great, thanks. Most of them aren't available for download here but I listened to Billy Paul's Ebony Woman on Spotify and it was brilliant, gonna follow up the rest if they're on Spotify too.

OH ALSO do check out the Treme Explained series at the Picayune, they are essential to me. Goes through each episode and explains the local references and people, plus all the music used. in Do we have a thread for television shows Comment by NankerP June 2013
