Proving that Mandy has infinitely better taste than all those kneejerk alt-country Bocephus-bashers.g You win either a date with Jerry Curry or a chance to be toasted onstage at the upcoming Twangfest. Choose carefully, Tera.--don

That was a pretty long period of sustained good releases. He's quite the caricature of that, though, these days. Bob

[Matt Benz] Hmmm. Could this mark the first time -outside of Austin, of course- that 4 p2 bands play head to head (add the Polish Hillbillies, who are playing with us, into the fray)? COuld be, could be. I nominate Jim Roll as poster boy of P2: he's got cool hats. And actual fans. Yeah, sometimes its so hard to distinquish between the two, Austin, Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, Austin. Also the same night, Smashing Pumpkins, Dick Dale, and P-Funk! Tom Moran The Deliberate Strangers' Old Home Place http://members.tripod.com/~Deliberate_Strangers/index.html

COuld be, could be. It's Twangfest 2.5 -- -- or perhaps Twangburgh 1.7 or at the very least it has the makings of one great computer geek party after-hours. Me? I'll be at the Sovines van trying to score some perverted jokes from Pete. And yes, I will definitely be wearing a silly hat of some sort. Which reminds me that when I played with the Derailers at Mac's last year their guitar player told Jamie DePolo that he was surprised to find that I am not bald . . . he was under the impression that my hat was a deivice. I mean can't a guy wear a hat cause he likes hats?? Well Matt Benz apparently thinks it's ok . . . so I will trudge forward w/chapeau(sp?). -jim

[Matt Benz] Naw, that would be the Sovines: "Together Again" tour, 2010, with all original members for the first time since 1999! We'll all be swigging water and holding babies, discussing junk bonds, hanging out with our aging model wives and senators backstage Grand Funk will be opening.

Imagine every song *at least* as good as her version of "Planet Of Love," and many of 'em surpassing her singing on that one. It totally screwed up my productivity yesterday. It was all I could listen to yesterday afternoon, and when I got home after a long meeting, I had to play it twice more. Mike's justifiably impressed by the knockout title song -- well, every single other song on it is also an aural treat, and every time I listened, something else about it floored me. Buddy Emmons' otherworldly pedal steel on the closing track just about made me break down and cry like a little girl. I know I'm raving, but dang it, it's *that* good.
