After the flurry of Del-Lords/Kempner talk yesterday, I asked Ed Petterson
([EMAIL PROTECTED]) for an update:
"The Del Lords thing is finally coming out in June on Restless. My credit is
on the CD is "Event Catalyst". I kinda' like that. 20 tracks including 3

I recently posted my reaction to the new version of Country Music, lamented
the loss of Carr and Kienzle and the appearance of beauty-tips articles. I

Has anyone else seen the new version of Country Music magazine? It's now based
in Nashville, and is completely unrelated to its previous format except for
Hazel Smith's column. Rich Kienzle and Patrick Carr have been replaced by
articles such as "Get Martina's Look" and photo spreads on up and

It looks like there are going to be several cool showcases at SXSW this year.
I ran into Johnny Dowd last night, and he told me that his band, the Old 97s,
the Bottle Rockets and Robbie Fulks are playing at the Liberty Lunch Saturday

Just wanted to point out that the latest issue of Flipside contains a really
good Flat Duo Jets interview.
Also in the issue is a hilarious interview with Loverboy singer Mike Reno, in
which he reveals the fate of those "cool" red leather pants (I know at least
one person on this list had a
I read a good review of this CD: Richard Bennett, "Walking Down the Line"

I can't believe that with all the pop culture geeks on this list that no one's

Saturday Night Live sketch, where they overdubbed his vocals onto Beatles
songs and superimposed his face into band photos.

I'm finding this debate very interesting. One reason that I've never actively
pursued playing live music in Ithaca is the fact that I've been the local
music writer since 1992. In a small town like this, I've always felt that if I
