I love how Purcell makes the sly NCAA hoops reference below. That's
dangerous, you know, in the presence of a bunch of music nuts ;-)

That was definitely the case in these parts. I discovered a lot of the

Evan's point is well-taken.
Mind you, these days I don't spend much time listening to the local
college stations, largely because too often I tune in to find people
rambling incoherently about politics or -- much worse -- a dj
"interviewing" a local musician
I simply have to apologize for writing a post that contains two
separate paragraphs beginning "Mind you..." Not enough coffee today,
perhaps. I'm not even shure what "mind you" means, come to think of

All this talk about Tweedy and bands moving away from alt-country
is linked, methinks, to the larger trend of the ghettoizing of alt-country.
My own case in point: At the college radio station I work at, the
alt-country stuff in rotation gets precious little attention - rockabilly
like Rev.
