So, why is it that people like faux bluesman Jack White and indie songstresses Chan Marshall and Neko Case are coming

.Back after a long absence and bringing concert reviews with me. (Finally saw Dex Romweber!)
Yes, as the subject line so boldly proclaims, I have been away for quite some time. But with good reason, I assure you. Well, not really good reason ... more like shitty reason that provides a good excuse. Enough of that, though. The fact remains I'm back, and I brought an old, cantankerous, lunatic with me. Finally. Read on as I absolve myself of my American Idol transgressions against the

Someone sent me a mixtape last October and I don't know who it was.
I received a great mix CD, but there was no note with it and I can't read the return address. Whoever you are, you're awesome, but your handwriting is atrocious. Look at the return address right now, I'm going to venture it came from Pennsylvania. Looks like a PA to me. And it looks like this person lives on an Avenue. I think.Anyway, I've been meaning to post about this for almost a year now, but

Ryan Adams has been following me ...

Artist:
Or, I've been following him. Whatever. One or the other is true. Seriously. Ryan and I have collided nearly every single year so far in the 21st century. It didn't happen in 2000, nor did it come together in 2001 when I was supposed to see him in Memphis but the little bastard canceled so he could appear on Saturday Night Live with Gwyneth Paltrow.
