I hate the work I do and love the atmosphere and people I do it with.
One thing to consider: Will you still love the atmosphere when the staff is halved?
I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

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.

Yeah - assuming I am left here - it's gonna be nightmare 15 hour days and LOTS OF PRESSSURE. And it will feel weird. And I will feel like I missed my chance to get out.
I totally should get out of this job. I'm just a glutton for the easyness of it. I work in a hip office with funny cool people. Downtown. I get paid just enought to spend a crap load of money on music and never save anything.
I guess I have to figure out what I am more scared of - sitting her next week knowing I missed my chance to get out with decent severance and unemployment or sitting at home next week realizing I can't buy ANYTHING and I have to find a new job.
Stoopid being a grown up.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Drive by Truckers is a good call since they're reviving that whole thang and got a lot of press with their last concept album.

I knew that topless lady had something up her sleeve. - John Prine
I heard a busker on the Union Square N/R subway platform doing a solo (just drums & vocals, no lie) "Freebird". Didn't hold a candle performancewise to ASH in "A New Man", but conceptually it was hard to beat. It was new and it was Southern Rock (that's a genre upper case), but it's not really "new Southern rock" nor "new Southern Rock." But I enjoyed it a whole lot & I hope you enjoyed my little anecdote even if it wasn't much help. Now back to our regularly scheduled program.
Edit: Giles sang "Freebird" in "The Yoko Factor" not "A New Man". And "Behind Blue Eyes" in "Where The Wild Things Are". No singing in "A New Man". Oh well, I liked it anyway. Go, Jane! Go, ASH! Yay, Ethan Rayne!

Up with the sun
Isn't My Morning Jacket supposed to be southern?
Edit: Also, could someone explain the Walkmen to me? I got their CD because it got such great reviews, but the noise has yet to coalesce into appealing songs after several listens, and I can't hear what makes everyone else say their singer sounds like Bono.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Hec! I went to a book reading with George Pelecanos tonight, and I name-dropped you, and told him I'd sent you a book of his, because I knew you'd dig the way he used music. And I am currently listening to the soundtrack CD for his latest book -- how cool is that?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Thanks Hec & Hayden (y'all should have a show called that).
I had DBT, but couldn't think of anyone else off the top of my head. I was arguing against someone who wants to hold up Kid Rock as the posterby for southern rock
While I can enjoy him at times (He reminds me of Jon's dead boss and some good bar times), I don't thinks he's the second coming of Skynyrd.

I would think that KR's strong roots in hip hop would put him out of the running for that title. Not that he doesn't have serious southern rock influences. But, to me, he's much more AC/DC meets Run DMC meets Skynyrd.

Super fuckin' cool! What's on his soundtrack CD?
