More evidence that Zach Galifianakis is about to be a huge movie star whether we like it or not:
in this New York Times feature.
Awesome cover art by Julie Cope:
On the new Mt. Inadale Records split 7” featuring Lubbock’s own Thrift Store Cowboys & One Wolf. Click the artwork for more details.
If you liked the Court & Spark:
you should check out their new project Hiss Golden Messenger. It's a good bit different than C&S, but the solid songwriting is still there. Kind of more…um…earthy? I would say if you listened to Hearts, this material sounds like a natural progression from that.
Monahans continues to get recognition from major media outlets:
this time in Texas Monthly.
If you didn’t know:
J.D. Salinger is still alive, but has refused to talk to the press for close to 50 years. He recently made headlines regarding the fact that he was filing suit against a publishing company who put out a book that is an unauthorized sequel to Catcher in the Rye. When the story broke, you could get this book internationally for $15 or so. Now it's up to $160 reserve price. I briefly considered buying it while it was so cheap, but then I remembered, "oh yeah, J.D. Salinger didn't actually write this book" FYI, even today, people who seek him out in the small town of Cornish, NH get turned away by a near-deaf Salinger or his wife. Road trip anyone?
If you’ve seen Weeds Season 4:
Then you probably heard “A New World” and “Head Honcho” by DeVotchKa playing along with one of the episodes.
When my friend told me she grew up in Hawai’i:
I said, “can you be more pacific?”
In case you missed it:
Vic Chesnutt stopped into Daytrotter for a session that was posted here not so long ago. FYI, the scream he does in "Independence Day" is not for sale at Guitar Center.

I wasn't familiar with Independence Day until last fall when Vic busted it out as an encore in Santa Fe: Wow, just...wow. Those that haven't heard this song, definitely check it out.
Also, my capture of the Denver show is still available here for further listening pleasure:
Thanks for passing your link along. Looks like a ton of great recent live shows.
