Do we know how they started dating? Was it b/c of the book collaboration or the other way around?
They started hanging out because of the book collaboration, and slowly started dating.

Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Amazing video of Vic Chesnutt, filmed just last month for a Canadian web/cable TV show.
I'm blown away. And really regretting that I've never seen him live.
Am all sad about him dying all over again.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
I have two mixes I'm trying to fill out and my music library is failing me, as it iTunes Genius and Pandora.
One is sort of a "How to get a speeding ticket on a sunny day", songs that are best at full volume and stompy and happy. I've got Modest Mouse, The Killers, Arcade Fire, Muse, "Dreams" by The Cranberries.
The other I only have two songs for: "Turn on Your Radio" by Marc Cohn "Low Rising" by The Swell Season
I guess they're sort of soul/blues/rock. Everything I have is either too sleepy or too bouncy and up. Or just straight up Soul/R&B.
Any suggestions?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Speeding Ticket Songs: "Why I Drink" - Go to Blazes; "Deja Varoom" - Southern Culture on the Skids; "Moving" - Suede; "Neat Neat Neat" - the Damned. They all make me lean on the accelerator.
Just off the top of my head and all available on request.
Soul/Blues/Rock? But neither sleepy nor bouncy? Hmmm.
Well, that's kind of a huge genre. You probably need a slightly tighter focus. You've got all the Southern Rock bands - Skynyrd, Allman Brothers. You've bluesier songwriters like Lucinda Williams. The Stones. I've got the demos for Let It Bleed and they're amazing. The album I've got of John Hammond covering Tom Waits songs would probably work. He's got a more conventionally appealing, rich bluesy voice and things like "Get Behind the Mule" have a fantastic non-sleepy, non-bouncy groove. Southern Culture on the Skids also have a ton of bluesy rock songs.
