Tonight someone said I was “here for the vibes” and that is my new goal in life. To always be there for the vibes. Fuck everything else.

If the US stops making pennies does that mean it’ll now be “a nickel for your thoughts”. I thought he was going to do something about inflation.

Just picked up this Carl Perkins record. It came out on a tiny label in 67 between his UK rediscovery in the mid 60s and re-rediscovery in the 70s. This is one of 4 great originals. Some tracks remind me of a less funky Tony Joe White, others a modernized TN Ernie Ford with a little Roger Miller too

I know the world is on fire but all the more reason to hang out and listen to country records in Western Mass. Think of it as the “answer song” to Valentine’s Day. 2/15 8pm at The Voo in Turners Falls. No cover. Country song bingo if anyone wants to play.

I kinda thought it would take until at least the second episode of the trumpocalypse limited series before the planes would start falling out of the sky. Usually the zombies have to take over before that happens. Oh wait.

Hard to hear that Wayne Hancock is having such a rough time. There are no words for what Thunderstorms and Neon Signs meant to me when I was in high school. I don’t have a lot of extra $ to contribute but I have a DJ gig coming up and will be taking donations to send to his gofundme.

Fair warning to anyone in New England DO NOT trust the tire inflation machines at Cumby’s. I set the machine to inflate my tires to the correct amount of 33 and 35 and they were all up to 40 when I brought my car in thinking one was low because my alert went on.

Two things that get me excited about a record are “recorded in 10 days” and “co-producer Shooter Jennings.” More records should have those two things going for them.

Last week was a terrible week to be a federal employee but this weekend was a great weekend to be in Western Mass. Two awesome shows, friends old and new everywhere I went, great beers at Floodwater and shawarma from the food truck in Shelburne Falls and ribs from North Village Smokehouse. Hell yeah

More like “More Sparks with Farts.” I look forward to the addition of fart lighting as the newest event at the greenfield winter carnival. #westass

Excited to finally try the new west coast IPA from Incandescent Brewing in Bernardston, MA. I can’t think of another western mass beer that has a crisper combo of citrus and bitterness with a cleaner finish. The best west coast IPAs around here usually lean towards piney, grassy or dank. #beersky

The rare exception to Betteridge’s law of headlines. Also, duh.

Not sure what my dad did to necessitate writing this to my mom but it feels like a good sentiment to put out there now.

It’s nice to see Western Mass finally taking steps to act more regionally. We’ve been held back for so long by the provincial thinking of all these small towns fighting for funding scraps from the state and duplicating efforts that would be more successful when combined together. More of this please

RIP Melba Montgomery one of my favorite country singers. Too often thought of as just a duet partner not only did she release many incredible solo records she wrote a ton of her own songs including the first song in this video the B side of her second release. Good luck getting it out of your head.

Speaking of Ringo this is one of the best things I’ve found so far while going through my parents letters from the 60s. My dad was working at the Library of Congress at the time not long before being called up for Vietnam. My great grandfather included this clipping and a note that read…

A new Gary Louris song is always a cause for celebration but a stripped down Gary Louris song with Gary Louris harmonizing with Gary Louris even more so. youtu.be/Z5rs6tRVT8g?...
