I'm blaming january. Every year this months makes me depressive. It's grey, rainy, windy and cold. I walk around daydreaming trying to make days pass.
I feel sorry for my family.............they have to put up with this every single year.
January 23 was the day. I've enjoyed my time hear although I don't post as often as I used to.
Thanks to everyone who've become friends and thanks to everyone who've introduced me to great music. I don't think I've ever been intro... MORE

Do you ever have that feeling of rediscovery? An album you loved years ago but then forgot about. Or, in my case, misplaced in a never ending stack of CD’s spread across rooms, cars, etc. Unexpectedly I found it, scratched to hell; perhaps punishing my negligence. Ah. This reminded me of other not-so-fun times. Like when I loaned a CD out and got it back broken in half.
Luckily this story ends differently. My computer, God knows how, was able to import all the tracks perfe... MORE

i'm in tin top, texas. it's not so near denton. nor anything, for that matter. there's a freeway, then a paved road, then an unpaved road, and then: tin top. miles of flatness, a gun store, a few sheds and a handful of cows. this week, tin top's been soaked through by thunderstorms, the kind that sneak in and unleash.
I've driven up & down the unpaved roads today, watching the rain and the sun breaks. listening to this.

The newest Damien Jurado album, "Now That I'm In Your Shadow," has been out for sometime but I'm late to the show, as usual. To me, this is Mr. Jurado's strongest effort since "The Ghost of David" and that was a few albums ago.
There's something very comforting about Damien's soft spoken folk songs. Even when he's lamenting about cheating husbands and killers he still makes you quietly tap your foot and hum sympathetically.
"And lover I am still here breaking... MORE

Sorry to be so obtuse...but I am a bit tipsy and I had a revelation that I am not able to put into words right now. I mean I don't think I could actually type well enough to get my point across.
I will just say that second chances are far and few between...and for whatever reason I was granted one...and now its time to make it count. Stay tuned....more to come...carpe diem,... MORE

Siem Reap is Cambodia's international gateway to Angkor Wat. which is a fancy way of saying we tourists got to go through this little town to get to those ancient temples. which begs the question: what to do in Siem Reap when the temples are closed for viewing.
i joined a last-minute road trip from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap last Monday. 4.5 hours by land going (ETD 1pm ETA 5:30pm); overnight stay at Steung Siemreap Hotel; 4.5 hours by land back on Tuesday (ETD 10:30am ETA ... MORE

Got a up close and personal experience at the Damien Jurnado show last night. About 30-40 attendees total, many of us sat on the floor about 5 feet away from him. The man has definitely has a talent for song-writing, clever turns of phrase and is a fine musician. I DO wish that he would branch out a bit topically. The guy only writes 'winter' songs. In other words, most of his songs are melancholy, and feel rather emo. I don't think that the type of folk genre he works... MORE

My good friend Ryan Hanson loves Damien Jurado. Not for the his quietly raspy croon or his earnest lyrics, but instead because “Damien Jurado is ugly as hell.” Now I don’t really know by what standards Ryan is judging Jurado, or even what Damien Jurado looks like, but I think I understand the appeal. Doing the singer-songwriter thing is a hard thing to do well, but Damien Jurado does it in spades. The songs are filled with poignant melodies and melancholy orchestration. They ... MORE
