SXSW
it was so great to meet so many in Austin this year. I asked around and I still never got to hook up with Jr though. Definite highlights for me included The Checkered Past party/show with The Old Joe Clarks and The FlatIrons playing. Radney Foster, Fred Eaglesmith, Jack Ingram, Bruce Charley Robison, and both Billy Block and the No Depression party. Cisco rocked!! Now next year you guys are all going to have to tie in the KHYI radio show on Sunday in Dallas to your SXSW trip. Tiffany
CSRF - SXSW
Hey there, Lessee... I'll try and contribute some new info here. Fluff included. Tue: Yes, tuesday. Started off with another cool chili party at Smiling Jim's with Jim Roll, Anna Egge, and Beaver Nelson. All three of which did fine acoustic sets. Anna apparently has a new CD out (or coming out) which I'm looking forward to hearing. Left during Slim's set in order to get to... Swollen Circus. Bit size chunks of bands playing SXSW at the aptly named Hole in the Wall. Jim Roll backed by The Silos sounded _great_ (digging Jim with a full band (no accordion tho - sniff)) and The Silos their own damn selves. The Brooders, as mentioned, sounded fine fine fine. And a bunch of folks liked the moodiness of Willard Grant Consiprancy (tho I'm not so sure yet). Also started running into p2ers galore Barry! Linda! Jim Cox! etc. etc. etc. I'll never be a weasel moment number one: opening the mens room door I'm face to face Jon Langford. I yell and point, "Hey! Jon Landford!" right at him. There are not enough o's in smth. Wed: The all important from the parents place to The Austin Motel occurs. Heh. Decided to go non-twang for the early part of the evening. Caught a waycool indian-persian type band (1001 Nights?) that sounded great and then Mr. Rubin's Rubinchyk's Orchestra (which I know I'm spelling wrong) who ROCKED in an acoustic Kelzmer kind of way. Kudos to Mark for this effort. Back to the Hole in the Wall for Tom House. Erm. Really like Tom electric with a band (like at NEA) alone and acoustic, not so much. Much needed and educational stop at Whattaburger followed. Thu: Cherylin's BBQ. Wooo hooo! The partying begins in earnest. Great BBQ. Foamy Pearl. And loads of p2-ers. Saw The Ex-Husbands and The Meat Purveyors and Jim Roll and Jon Landforad and Kelly Hogan again, all of whom were as good as usual. The first band (The Fence Cutters?) were a very pleasant bluegrassy surprise and the swamp-rocky band that drowned out the jets passing overhead were pretty cool too. A bit too much Brooce all day for my taste tho g I was involved in the cloudburst that Bill mentioned. Phooey. But managed to make The Backsliders show that night THANKYOUVERYMUCH. And lived through Joe Henry. Ehh. Fri: Bloodshot BBQ. Wo Hoo. I heart Nan. And the rest of 'em. Free Beer. Beatle Bob. Free Beer. Sunny Day. Free Beer. Cool People. Great sets from The Meat Purveyors, The Blacks, The Wacos (especially with Lonesome Bob joining them) and a surprise set from The Ex-Husbands who may be one of the finest bar bands around. Chatted a bit with Hayseed who is not only a kick ass singer but also a hell of a nice guy. Schmooze schmooze. Drink Drink. Not enough dinner and then hightailed it to The Broken Spoke to see Hillbilly IDOL who played a fine, tight set to a small crowd. Quick, back to the Twangmobile to catch The Hicks! From Nashville! WHO SUCK. Luckily they were followed by Slobberbone (who Jamie and Kari kinda like). Last time I saw them they were kinda 'eh - but a fine set was played tonight (no acoustic stuff tho). And now, the moment you've all been waiting for... PUMPSKULLY Lynryd Skynryd meets Lynryd Skynryd. Kick ass swamp rock that even Jeff Wall would love. (doing the devil horn heavy metal handshake) They'll be huge - you heard it here first. Well, you heard it from Tracy first, but you heard it here second. The hotel party then began and I wisely decided to pass out before everyone showed up and The BROX, Slobberbone and Splitlip Rayfield started jamming in the parking lot. I'm such a drunk dork. Grr... I was overserved. Sat: Um, I kinda missed Saturday. Spent most of the day in bed bargaining with God. Rallied to see Kelly Willis - which we couldnt get in. Rallied to see The BROX and Robbie Fulks and The Meat Puppets - which we couldn't get in. Rallied to see The Bloodshot Showcase - which we made. Yeah. You all know the Bloodshot Bands and they were all great. Crossed the street to see the The Sadies. Man do they exude coolness. Fantastic stuff surfy rocky twangy bluegrassy and Neko Case jumping on stage. The best band in Canada g Sun: Breakfast. Sunny Day. Neal Weiss will only come to Twangfest if he gets a badge. Really crowded airport. Back to Chicago. My one regret (other than the miserable hangover) is I didnt get to as many new (to me) bands as I wanted to - as Alex mentioned "We might as well be in Chicago" but if my biggest problem is deciding which of 3 great bands I want to see - I'll deal with it. Once again, everyone on P2 is cool. Even Don. And somewhere in Austin there is a rental car with a Miles of Music and an Ex-Husbands bumper sticker on it. Heh. Later...

(Sweet) mental revenge Did Gram Parsons ever cover this? I know it's an old Mel Tillis cut that Clarence White and Gene Parsons just flat tore up on Nashville West. Jeff Wall Sid Griffin says on cd introducing this song that it is from one Flying burrito brothers bootleg live LPs (some live concert in April 1969) and Sid said this exist on cd too. it is Burrito bros arangement of this song.

But everything before that (including Danny Barnes' opening set) was mighty good. Best part: No Deadheads, who swarm Rowan's Boston shows.

Playlist for March 16, 1999 Tonight's show featured an extra helping of music from Steve Earle, The Del McCoury Band, and Steve Earle and the Del McCoury Band - a result of the upcoming (and highly anticipated) show from Steve and the Del McCoury Band on March 24th at the Michigan Theatre. In addition to all the music, we gave out two pairs of tickets to that show and a copy of "The Mountain". Judging by the huge number of calls, the listeners in and around Mid-Michigan are just as excited as we are. We also gave out tickets to the Ten Pound Fiddle show, which features Mad Pudding this week and we gave out copies of Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder's outstanding new CD "Ancient Tones". Also, given that it was St. Patrick's Day Eve, we dug into some Celtic music. Oh, and one request we have to any one out there who might see the V-Roys live: Please tell them that Michigan is not such a bad place! Apparently they had a disasterous show in Detroit a week ago that culminated in a fight between Scott Miller and some local idiots in the crowd.

And if the Possibilities ever get their own album out -- buy it! They're great! What's the release date, and are these the songs intended for the aborted third Medium Cool album? No, the Possibilities haven't been with Jack that long. They did some recording locally in Athens at David Barbe's studio and were doing some work with Scott McGaughey (Young Fresh Fellows, Minus 5, REM extra) but nothing ever progressed beyond the recording so there's no release date at this point. The group also has a side project called the Beverly Others (all Everly Brothers covers). Isn't the third aborted Medium Cool album now the Capricorn album that Jack's touring behind? The Possibilities didn't play on that but Bob Kimball who really isn't one of the Possibilities but has his own band Weird Summer up near Champagne, IL did. Logan has another new album out on his buddy Kelly Keneipp's new label. I'll have to check my notes somewhere to see the name of it and the website. The man is prolific. Jack did add a tune to this year's ATHfest compilation -- it's more twangy along the lines of his early stuff like "Brand New Car and Plate of BBQ" or whatever that title was.

RE: NATO bombs
Alex, Sorry to be rude but perhaps it would be a good idea to get your country's troops out of Kosovo. Milosevic is out of control and the only language the the man understands is military action. I was recently in Bosnia and Croatia and saw the lovely aftermath of the Serb's invasion of those countries.

Re: Tom Waits Meets Matt Cook at SXSW
wanted briefly to respond to a few of Barry's comments: I seemed to be the only one I could find anywhere who'd actually seen him perform before--on the Penn campus in Philadelphia some 25 years ago, Really? Nobody saw the Big Time tour? The Waits show was the first memorable event after I moved to Montreal 11 years ago, in my first year of university. And it was rather like an omen - seeing him at an old theatre house in Outremont, a gorgeous, transcendent, hilarious show that I can still vividly recall to this day (and there ain't that many of those, altho I suppose I drank slower in those days) - that I was in the right place. I woulda assumed a lot of people saw that tour (and the subsequent movie), since it was very large-scale by Waits standards. On a more contentious note: I think this show also proves that it's generated some myths--the biggest being that Waits' extraordinary music had some drastic sea change when he shifted labels, which puts him in a sort of gravelly post-modern and hiphop mode which makes him one OK "boomer' performer for the alt. generation. Note Barry's sarcasm here. But that aside: While I agree completely with Barry that the "Asylum Years" were full of fantastic music, much of it as interesting and creative etc. as anything he's done since, it's no myth at all that Swordfishtrombones (his first Island album) was a dramatic shift. It was presaged by some of the material on Heartattack Vine and even on Blue Valentines, where there was a harder-edged blues and rock influence than anything on his previous work. But the dramatic move away from the piano as anything but an occasional (and even incidental) part of his sound, the abandonment of orchestral arrangements, the shift from songs that had identifiable stories to ones that tended towards much more pure imagery (this was more a shift in emphasis than in style overall, I agree), and *especially* his use of non-Western rhythms and avant-garde sounds and homemade instruments and further-out singing styles - all did add up to something truly new, a genre unto itself, as if 70s Waits had gone through Cronenberg's transporter (a la The Fly) with Captain Beefheart (and of course Harry Partch). And while that may have endeared him to younger fans who wouldn't have cottoned to the jazz-ballad/bebop stylings, it also turned off a lot of older fans. I remember when I was about 14 and Swordfishtrombones came out, I dropped by my local bookstore, run by a 36-ish Waits fan. He had the album, I didn't yet. He said he thought it was "totally devoid of Waitsian emotion." Damn, I thought, that's awful. Went out, bought it anyway - the cover art made it impossible to resist. Dropped the needle (wow, needle) and "Underground" - whose main sound is brake drum and clanging pipes - started up, and my head exploded. And that was the first time I really believed in a generation gap. (Although of course later I met many older fans who loved the new work, too, so perhaps I unbelieved it eventually.) All that said: Damn, I'm jealous of you SXSW bastards. I hope to hell Mule Variations is followed by a tour. I attended a listening party for it held by Epitaph here last week, and it sounds absolutely superb. CarlW.

SXSW report (long)
My SXSW report Wednesday: Wake up at 3:30 a.m., drive to Syracuse, catch flight to Austin. Arrive at noon, check into Hotel, get badge at Convention Center, and walk down 6th St. Immediately run into Hayseed (hes hard to miss). We had dinner (I had just interviewed him for a feature, now posted on the milesofmusic.com web site). After dinner, leave restaurant, immediately run into Don Yates, in Walser cap (not THE Walser cap, tho) and Johnny Dowd t-shirt, and Deborah Malarek. Head to Liberty Lunch to see Jim Roll (excellent set), then mosey by Austin Music Awards to catch Reckless Kelly, who are best described in two words: Country Hootie. They made guest Joe Ely seem boring, which I thought was an impossibility. (Joe sang two songs, You Aint Going Nowhere and one of his own about Honky Tonkin, but the one from Live Shots). Try to get into Jeff Becks show, get shut out, catch Rubinchiks Orchestyr, who played trad. klezmer. Head home, collapse with exhaustion. Thursday: Lucinda gives keynote address, advising persistance in the music biz. Also reveals one of her early songs appeared on a porn movie soundtrack (All American Girls in Heat, Pt II, for those keeping score), and plays several solo acoustic songs. It was interesting to hear Right In Time in that format. Head to panel discussion on Hank Williams. Most fascinating aspect was contributed by Greil Marcus, who talked about a movie that fancifully described the last show Hank played. Bill Lister also told a funny story about the making of Hank Jr.s Theres a Tear in My Beer. Then to the songwriting panel with Jim Lauderdale, Kelly Willis, Bruce Robison, and Jon Dee Graham. Pretty good, but no revelations. Realize its too late to hit Cherilyns BBQ. Bummer Thursday night, in midst of huge downpour, head to Broken Spoke to see personal fave Monte Warden, who played most of the songs from his new CD out on Asylum. He had a really good band, including guest James Intveld on keyboards. After that, Barry and I headed to Continental Club in hopes of catching Mike Ness. We stood outside in line while it rained and heard Intvelds fine set. We were almost in the door when they stopped letting people in, so we left. We found out later that the fire marshalls had cleared the club of everyone, and only let some people back in. Barry and I head to Jazz Bon Temps, where we dined to the dulcet blues of WC Clark. head upstairs to see Jon Dee Graham, then across the street to see Wanda Jackson. Barry stays in line, I head back to catch Shaver (not a bad alternative). Billy Joe looks like Nick Nolte. I stay for half his set (leaving before those drum set problems) and head back for another try at Wanda. Get in time to hear her and Henhouse do Lets Have a Party. Shes still in great voice! Head home, collapse with exhaustion. Friday: Arrive at Convention Center at noon. Am immediately shanghaighed by Stacey Taylor, who needs someone to serve on the country demo listening panel. Proceed to fill in for no-shows Dale Watson and Broken Spoke owner James White (the latter had plumbing problems at home, the former just didnt show up). Most demos were competent and fell into one of the many existing country radio formats-i.e., power ballad, rocker, etc. Stacey and I tried to say something nice about each one, even though both of us dont really like mainstream country. Head to Bloodshot party at Yard Dog, just in time to miss the Blacks (who I dont really like) and catch Neko Case (who I adore). Leave after Nekos set due to claustrophia induced by the awning over the gallerys back yard. Head to Continental Club for rumored Ronnie Dawson CD release party, which turns out to have been the previous day. Instead, buy live Ronnie Dawson CD recorded and sold only at the club. After that, it was couple more stabs at panel- going, including the Sinatra discussion (Cristgau read his obit that was published in Details last year). Later walk to Waterloo Records to see Monte Wardens instore set. Didnt realize store was so far from convention, but tired of paying cab fares to get everywhere. Price: sore feet and shoulders. Friday night: Head to Liberty Lunch to see Guy Clark, who played an excellent set. My hometown friends Donna the Buffalo was next doing their usual thing, although they were nearly tossed off the stage for not ending their set on time See some of Terry Allens set, then head out to see Kim Lenz and Lou Ann Barton, return to Liberty Lunch just in time to hear Terry Allen had Marcia Ball, David Byrne and Guy Clark join him onstage for Gimme A Ride to Heaven, Boy (which I formerly knew as Jesus Was A Hitchiker, as covered by Joe Ely) Tried to get in Lucinda show, but barred because I had a camera with me. Head back to Liberty Lunch to catch Gatemouth Browns set. After that, my feet finally gave out, causing me to miss the Pumpskully set. I was intrigued that a band would name itself after lascivious act from the X-Files. Saturday

Re: Tom Waits Meets Matt Cook at SXSW
I remember when I was running a record store there was a writer in his mid-50s named Richard who used to come in once in a while. He had been out of the music scene for quite a few years and came in occasionally to pick my brain and get musical suggestions. It was around this time that Asylum was reissuing Waits' early albums, so I suggested that he pick up the reissue of "Small Change," which has long been my favorite of the Asylum-era records. So he bought it and took off. A couple of hours later I had gone downstairs to get a soda and when I came back up my assistant manager told me that Richard had called. "No foolin'? What'd he want?" "He said 'Fucking awesome' and that he was coming right back down to buy everything else we had by Tom Waits." Sure enough, he cleaned us out an hour later. Guess he really liked "Tom Traubert's Blues." Wasted and wounded... Jon Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wollaston, Massachusetts

The V-Roys are, in our humble opinion, one of the very best live bands you will find. Just to set the record straight on the Detroit gig, The Magic Stick wanted to make as much $$$ as possible that night, so they ran the live show a little early to have their weekly punk/retro night run as well. Some of the punks yelled for the V-Roys to get off the stage. One came up to the stage and threw an empty beer cup at the band. He came back a few songs later and was ready to start something when Mike Crimmins, guitarist for Gravel Train, pushed the punk away from the stage.

Well, I made it back. As usual, it was a great time. But this year, I'd say it had as much to do with the people as the music. I stayed at the Austin Motel, which was basically P2 central. It was great meeting everyone and reconnecting with a few folks (like Neil Weiss, who I met last year). Big thanks to Laura Fowler for scoring my wristband and mixing a hell of a margarita. What a great crew of people all these P2ers are. And so great to finally put faces with names. I'd be more specific here, but I met so many folks I'm sure I'm gonna miss some. Big props to Meshel and CK, who drove my sorry ass around to a couple of places. Also thanks to Wynn for taking me and Steve M back from Laura's. That was very cool. Sorry I didn't have the stamina to party all night with people on Friday back at the Motel. I got started a little too early in the day for that. It's hard to keep it going when you've been drinking since one in the afternoon (not all of us are blessed with Alex's constitution). Anyway, on the music front there was some good stuff--although I think I'd have to agree with those commentators who have said that this year was a little thinner than years past. Nevertheless I saw some really good stuff. Peak experience: Dave Schramm (sp?) He only played for twenty minutes at the Checkered Past bbque, but this was easily the best thing I saw at the whole conference. I wish he could have played a full set. A couple of his solos literally brought tears to my eyes. I've been hearing about this guy for a long time from some of my NYC friends. I'm just a sucker for the territory he was mining: melodic pop songs and guitar that somehow combines elements of my favorites (Thompson, Neil, Lloyd, Verlaine, etc.). What a treat. And the band weren't bad either. Other cool stuff: * I also enjoyed the hell out of Drew,the steel dude from the Silos. He was great in everything I saw him in (Jim Roll, Silos, etc). * Built to Spill at the Copper Tank. This was a surprise unannounced show. Really good. Were I 22 instead of 35, this would probably have been a religous experience for me. As it stands, it was just a hell of a good show. This band is probably the best thing going in the alternarock arena right now. * Paul Burch: This was really good. I liked him last year at the ND party, and there was more of the same smooth old country at his showcase this year. * Meat Purveyors: Saw them at the P2 BBque. They kick it hard. And that Mando player is a monster. This band just keeps getting better. *Neko: Really first rate show, especially given that it was like the fourth show this particular line-up had played together. Really liked the Mike Ireland dude on guitar. *Mark Rubin's Klezmer band: First rate *Wayne Hancock at Under the Sun: great as always. *Joe Henry: Waterloo Records. Enjoyed this for sure. There's more I'm sure, but I'm forgetting. I was the Zen Warrior this year, just sort of going wherever the flow of the day took me. But it was fun and great to meet everyone. Hope to see you again some time. Jake Jake London

Re: Tom Waits Meets Matt Cook at SXSW
Carl's no doubt right that for every one I've heard dismiss the Early Waits in this nabe (such is the East Village), there probably is somebody else out there who never got past the evolution/revolution (you call it) in the music over time. I've got a strong suspicion (and find it interesting BTW) that on P2 MOST of us would probably go for both ends of Waits'material, for the simple reason that the twang interest leads us to an interest in traditional songmaking--but the at least usually experimental openness around here leaves ears open to what's come up since. As to: " the dramatic move away from the piano as anything but an occasional (and even incidental) part of his sound"... that's part of what I was referring to, Carl, in how seeing his latest incarnation live show would tend to show the continuities in his efforts over the discontinuities...In fact, Waits performed a number of post-swordfish (guess that's the password!) songs solo at the piano now, complete with patter, in breaks from the very cool band stuff--and even "The Heart of Saturday Night" cause it was, after all, Saturday Night. I know it all added up to something excellent. Anyway..I hope lots of people get a chance to see and hear this this time--especially since so many--and not just those in their early 20s--seem never to have caught them like us lucky ones did.

Hi P2; Just got back on the list after the overwhelming week of SXSW. What a week. Highlights: Got to see the Flatlanders reunited with the wonderful Ms. Kimmie Rhodes to sweeten the mix. Chased around with Doug Sahm (hang on). Watched 50 something Jeff Beck prove that he is one still helluva guitar player. Did not get to the P2 barbeque but did meet with lots of them. All told had a great time. Hope Flohil and Co. make it back safely. Doug (still havin a good time thinking about it)
