They had three records all on Medium Cool.  "Kitty", "Spinnin' On Down", and
"love, sorrow, hate, madness", and they were all very good.  Todd McBride
(lead guy) was/is an excellent songwriter, very adept at pullin' off a
rocker then turning around and hittin' you with something subtle and moving.
As for what they are doing now, Todd put out a solo album this past year
that is also very good, I believe it's called "Sketchy" (can't seem to find
it at the moment).  The drummer, John Crist, I believe, is now playing with
someone in Minneapolis.   I'm not exactly sure what's up with the rest of
them.  Someone in the Athens contingent could probably tell you more.  I do
remember however that the guitar player had one of the coolest guitars I'd
ever seen.  It was intricately carved in the shape of a dog's head if I
remember correctly.  That alone makes them worth checking out in my book.  I
would say that anything you could find from them would definitely be worth
checking out.

Take care,
Brent

Has anyone ever heard of the Dashboard Saviors?  If so, do you know how
many releases?  Where are they now?  ETC.!

The Truckers er at me house at this very moment smokin' pot n' drinkin'
beer.  This is every thing i ever started playin' in bands fer.  By the way,
they didn't lose a tranny, it was merely a fan clutch ('bout $60 vs.
$600-$900) but that still ain't no excuse not to go see one of the best
fookin' rawk bands your sorry ass will ever have the pleasure of beholdin'!
Don't be no April fool! Git yer ass out'a tha house and be a witness!  You
won't be disappointed!

Love n' biscuits,

I would definitely say Buckner after having just witnessed him with band at
SXSW and having my ass thoroughly kicked again.  Besides, Slobberbone in
Denton at Dan's is a sweaty, smelly affair replete with obnoxiously loud and
slovenly oafish drunks unrelenting in their bombastic demands for
Slobberbone songs that will never be played by the band again due to the
fact that the band from now on will only play Emo music.  And the new name
for the band is now "Tickle Me Emo".
   Also, Slobberbone will be playing with the Damnations in Dallas at the
Tea Room in a couple a' weeks anyways.  And anyways the singer is an
asshole.

Rock over London, Rock over Dallas,

Is anyone going to be at either of these shows this Saturday?

a.) Richard Buckner w/ Sebadoh
b.) Slobberbone (in Denton)

Which do you all think would be the better one to go to...?
I actually got someone to work for me that night. God's been taking care
of me when it comes to shows recently...

These guys are absolutely great live.  My band has played with them in
various spots at various times all over the country, most recently this past
weekend in Little Rock and although my opinion of them might be clouded by
how good of friends they've become, I honestly recomend them.  And yes,
their version of Moonshiner is a super good'un.

I heard a cut of this band (I think, i wasn't sure of the name) on my
local Americana station.  It was some UT or Son Volt Song.  Moonshiner
maybe?  Geez I'm gettin old. Cant remember a thing.  Anyway what I
heard, I liked alot.  Very SonVoltish.  Is this the same band?
