RE: Doo Rag
very lo-fi indie washboard drums indie rock/blues what have you, a la
Chickasaw Mud Puppies, but a little edgier un-trad sounding. "What We Do"
('96) has even rougher production, sounding like it was recorded to produce
a real tinny AM radio sound. Just like Real Audio!

Does anyone on the list know anything about about a cd called "Chuncked and
Muddled" by Doo Rag, on Bloat Records? The somewhat self-consciously retro
packaging has a 1994 copyright.
Someone I work with just handed it to me, and said "You're always listening
to that yee haw stuff, you might like this."
She was right. It sounds a little like Beck playing the blues. Very lo fi
production. It's curiously hypnotic. I can't stop listening to it.
Kill Rock Stars do accordions
Yep, (blush) I realized this after my fast and furious initial excitement of an image of Kathleen Hanna toting around an accordion translating some old steel guitar rag. DOH! Oops.

RE: What are the kids listening to today?
Speaking of LL Cool J accoustic hip hop songs, another good one: Luka Bloom's version of "I Need Love" -Original Message- From: Carl Abraham Zimring [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, March 26, 1999 1:58 PM To: passenger side Subject: Re: What are the kids listening to today? Excerpts from internet.listserv.postcard2: Dunno that the "if a song is a great song it should still work on just a bare acoustic guitar" rule is a universal one, though I agree with it much of the time. Aside from LL Cool J's amazing acoustic rendition of "Mama Said Knock You Out", there aren't a whole lot of hiphop songs that would sound good on acoustic guitar. Carl Z.
Hankdogs?
Listening to the Hankdogs CD " Bareback" ..very nice. Anyone know more about this band? - michele
RE: Hankdogs?
Yep, I was tricked by the name as well, plus one of the guys on the cover is wearing a cowboy hat, really surprising me when I heard the first track. Thought this CD was produced by Joe Boyd (sounds like it) but I think he just signed them to Hannibal. -Original Message- From: Don Yates [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, February 11, 1999 11:46 AM To: passenger side Subject: Re: Hankdogs?

Anyone every considered how ridiculous many of the alt-country/ND band names are? They're like cliches at this point. Despite the name, the Hank Dogs are not an alt-country band. They're a British trio whose dark folk music recalls melancholy Brits like June Tabor and Nick Drake. Lovely stuff, with some rather unsettling lyrics. I bet they've never heard of either the Hangdogs or the Honeydogs.--don
Lambchop/Calexico show in SF
It was a good night of music - it was fun to see Calexico do their spaghetti western stuff accompanied by lots of hoots and hollers from the crowd. Lambchop kept to their sad and sleepy mood, only did one of their new soul numbers. The strange thing about the night was that the sold out crowd seemed to be streaming out the doors once they realized that Lambchop was going to continue on with the sleepy dreamlike mood of the evening...um, er, even though that's what they sound like? I didn't quite understand. Encore included an Elvis Costello cover(!) - Michele np: The Miller Brothers "Boppin' Hillbilly Series" -Original Message- From: Brad Bechtel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, January 22, 1999 9:28 AM To: passenger side Subject: Mendo Bistro in Fort Bragg, CA Twang content: Due to a family emergency, I didn't get to attend the Lambchop/Calexico soiree at the Great American Music Hall.

RE: Lambchop/Calexico show in SF
heh heh, that thought crossed my mind as well. They sure looked hip, but they weren't paying any attention to the music. - michele -Original Message- From: Brad Bechtel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, January 22, 1999 2:25 PM To: passenger side Subject: Re: Lambchop/Calexico show in SF The strange thing about the night was that the sold out crowd seemed to be streaming out the doors once they realized that Lambchop was going to continue on with the sleepy dreamlike mood of the evening...um, er, even though that's what they sound like? Well, the show got a big writeup in both weeklies. I would expect that a lot of people left once they found out what Lambchop sounds like!
