I remember Tomboy telling me about this back in August 08 when he allowed me to post his remix of Get Rhythm that eventually didn't make it into the album. Apparently a Johnny Cash remix album is not a very good idea.. I Googled for some reactions/reviews & all were either meh'd or negative about it, Pitchfork gave it a 0.2 (yep point two) out of 10 . I decided to sit down and listen t...

“Dark As A Dungeon” by Johnny Cash.The saddest songs are written when a person is happy. I was driving home after a date with a beautiful girl in Redondo Beach, California. I had a recording session to do the next morning and needed some material. I parked my car under a street light and wrote [...]

I wondered what to title this post for the better part of this morning. I thought of adding something like “My Long Obsession” to the title, or some other such pale attempt to capture grandeur, but in the end I opted with just posting his name. Johnny Cash. If you count yourself a lover of all things music then this is one name that needs no subtitle (even if you do love his moniker The

It's hard not to be cynical about Johnny Cash Remixed. Let's see, what sounds better than having a dozen or so hip hop and electronic acts take songs by the legendary Man In Black and add their beats and raps to them? Well, the results are fairly predictable. Was there really anyone demanding to hear what "Get Rhythm" would sound like if it were performed by Eiffel 65? Unfortunately it's a

I'm such a bad person. I stumbled in at 1.30 with a gang of folks and blasted music 'til 2.30, waking up my room mate. What an a-hole. She woks the same hours as me, and while it was my decision to stay up stupidly late and suffer for it at work today, it wasn't hers. So so so danged sorry.Here's my remorseful song, Johnny Cash covering Bonnie 'Prince' Billie (with Billie doing backing vocals)

Like I said - it's really very personal. Both the record itself and my reaction to it. The more I listen to it the more I dig it. There's a lot of truth in it.What I think about most when I listen to it is that I want my father to listen to it. How do describe the Colonel... decrepit ol' Marine with shitty lungs and fragile skin. "Like the 309" sounds just like him. _It should be a while ...

I will be hitting the bottle in just a bit, I figure I have earned it now that I am officially on my winter break. The week before vacation is always a rough one for teachers, and I am ready for bed at this point in the night. I will not go down with out a fight however, and have promised myself some whiskey before calling it a night. While it would be easy to post music that would be fun to li...

.........Johnny Cash...........The name itself carries the impossible weight of near mythic status. A half century of American countryfolk music is mapped out in the deep canyons a crags in the voice of Johnny Cash. His catalog spans the ages...& the generations...........Seeing him revitalized late in his career with the superb string of cd's under the auspices of producer extraordinaire (and...
