Neutral Boy with Jon Snodgrass “Dead Guys Sing Sad Songs”
This is one of my all time favorite songs.
Lucky to be alive
Luck to get lucky sometimes…
I’m pretty excited about this interview. Damian is the man behind the Mostly Harmless Podcast with Dammit Damian (if you love a drunk presenter, you’ll love this). Damian is another one of those fantastic people I met in Little Rock last September and is one of my favourite podcasters (not that I listen to many), interviewing musicians I’m a huge fan of like Micah Schnabel of Two Cow Garage and Frank Turner. On top of that, he’s introduced me to the wonderful Laura Stevenson and the Cans and Cheap Girls. I was inspired to start this blog after Damian posted the Chuck Ragan episode last year. We are both huge music fans (with a largely overlapping taste), someone I look up to and was the first person to properly like what I was doing with this back when I posted the Franz Nicolay interview. I knew Damian would give me good answers which is why I kind of bugged to do this.
Check out this awesome interview with my good pal, Damian. He even mentions me (and calls me an asshole - YAY!!!). Damian is the mad genius behind the Mostly Harmless Podcast, which you should totally be listening to. I don’t, but you should.
My Breaking Bad tattoo, pretty well healed. Need to go back to Colorado to get it touched up though.

Jon Snodgrass “Spiderman, Wolfman” Apparently some dude named Ryan made this video as a school project. (via already-dead) This is awesome.
Pre-order 5 State Record - the new LP from Jon Snodgrass (Drag The River, Armchair Martian, Scorpios).
You’ll find rock songs, sad songs, a couple songs you won’t expect, more songs that you will probably expect and one or two silly songs on this 10 song record.
Like Visitor’s Band, this record follows in the same tradition of recording. That means tracking with many friends in many locations. This time introducing a new cast of characters, hosted in new locations. Stephen Egerton of All / DESCENDENTS, Brandon Carlisle of Teenage Bottlerocket, Chris Wollard of Hot Water Music w/ Addison Burns, Chad Darby & Bobby Brown of Chris Wollard and The Ship Thieves.
Also including appearances from tried & true buddies such as Cory Branan, Darren Radach and Brian Wahlstrom of the Scorpios. These songs were recorded in Colorado, Oklahoma, Florida, Texas & New York.
You should be able to pre-order this record through the Suburban Home Shopradiocast website starting today, though I don’t see it listed just yet.

Scott Reynolds & the Steaming Beast (featuring Drag The River) “Angel”
Scott and the Drag boys doing a country-fied version of this Goodbye Harry classic. So good.
Band Shirt Of The Day: Drag The River
I’ve seen Drag The River live countless times, but surprisingly this shirt was not acquired at one of their concerts. This shirt was made available exclusively (I believe) through Suburban Home Records if you pre-ordered the deluxe edition of Drag’s b-sides collection, Bad At Breaking Up, which I did back in 2008.
Drag The River are doing a slew of East Coast dates. Check them out if they’re coming to your town. You won’t be disappointed.
Drag The River “Southbound Train”
The only friend I have
I keep in a brown paper bag
It’s the only way to keep me from my memory
Scorpios “Oise”
Scorpios is Jon Snodgrass (Drag the River), Joey Cape (Lagwagon), and Tony Sly (No Use For A Name). Rad shit for all you alt-country lovers. You can download the record here for a name your own price deal. Definitely worth checking out.
Big benefit show in Colorado Springs this weekend. If you can make it out to the Triple Nickel in Colorado Springs, I can promise you a great time. Plus, you’ll be helping out Ricky Grueter (brother of JJ from Drag the River/The Nobodys) who needs bone marrow treatments.
If you can’t make the show, you can donate here via Pay Pal - all of this money goes straight into Ricky’s pockets.
Or, for a limited time, Drag the River are selling their records for a “Pay What You Want” type of deal, and all that money goes to Ricky too. Go here if you wanna do that.
The Grueters are some of my favorite people on this planet. It’d sure be awesome if you could help them out.
