If Not For You

I'm a big Dylan fan. Did you know that?

I also like Derek Webb. Not as much, of course. But, he puts on a great show and is a talented writer.

Well, I just ran across a Dylan cover by Sandra McCracken and Derek Webb





I don't have it uploaded yet, but you can download it here.

Thanks to Star Maker Machine for the link.

Let's Do It

I've got a Jameson on the rocks in my hand.

Cheers.

To our success and our dreams. It's coming.



Thanks to Omaha Hype for this song.

Felice Brothers - Whiskey In My Whiskey

Posters Posters Posters

This might seem like an inane post, but I've decided to post a few posters that I thought were cool and eventually might want to purchase. All of these can be found at AllPosters.com
















































































































Well, that's like a million posters. I didn't plan on putting that many up, but I just kept liking all the ones I saw.

Of course, the post can't be complete without some music. So, I decided to switch it up a little bit and dabble in different genres.

AA Bondy - There's A Reason

This guy is new, and I haven't heard a ton of his stuff. He's playing a show here in New York City in a few weeks and I'm going to try to check it out. He has a great voice, and is a pretty good lyricist. I really enjoy his sound

Aesop Rock - Coffee

I don't know a lot about Aesop Rock. But, I know that he kicks some ass on the mic. He's got a very distinct sound and flow. His style is really rhythmic and his lyrics are just as polished.

Josh Ritter - Girl In The War

Still, another guy I don't know much about. This song has more of an acoustic vibe, but the lyrics are descriptive and imaginative. I dig it.

Akon - I'm So Paid (ft. Lil' Wayne)

I love Lil' Wayne. He's the man. He's so goddam cocky, but it suits him. He can get away with almost anything on the mic. I was also proud of Akon. His two verses are well written and well sung.

The Felice Brothers - Hey Hey Revolver

The Felice Brothers have been around for a few years, but they recently signed to the label Team Love. Team Love was founded by Bright Eyes frontman, Conor Oberst. There are a variety of musical groups on the label. To hear from different artists on the label go to their website.

That's all folks. Let's drink. To success..

What Am I Even Doing?

You know, I've been sitting around a pile of papers over the last few weeks. I'm determined to sit down and write a story of my travels this summer.

The hard part, is I don't know where to begin. Freight trains and hitch hiking don't make for an easy story. I saw things that I still don't believe. I experienced things in which I still doubt whether they ever really happened. I met some of the most interesting people this country has to offer. I was homeless in every state across the southern border of the United States.

Where do I begin? I don't have a clue. I'm thinking about maybe doing another blog where each entry I write of a new day or story of my journey. I'm also inclined to write it in Word and try to get it published. I don't know.

I've got them weary blues from waitin' on writing this thing. Hank knows what I'm talking about.
