    We have a lot of the same ones. I don't know Rhett Miller, but I guess I should check him out. 
    He’s the lead singer of the Old 97’s. His solo stuff is great, and so is the 97’s stuff.
    I LOVE MUSIC.

    this new john butler is amazing...
    They, or he, popped up while I was watching some videos - I guess my tastes indicated I might like him.

    He was doing Oceans by himself and it was f##cking amazing. He can play, my god. And I love the sound. My first musical love was Eddie Van Halen - I loved to watch him play, he could have been amazing if he had not gone with a band and played solo. 

    Anyway, I know that is an older song, but I  thought I'd seen someone mention the name here so I decided to give it a try. Glad I did!

    Added to one of my playlists.

    Been kind of a weak/slow year for music IMO. Nothing really stood out this year.  Kurt Vile- Bottle it In is a contender though.  Few others I really like are Ghost, Alice in Chains, Gorillaz, Good, Bad & The Queen, Django Django, BRMC, The Prodigy, The Decemberists and a couple others. 
    forgot about APC and jim james.

    He’s the lead singer of the Old 97’s. His solo stuff is great, and so is the 97’s stuff.
    I know Rhett and his sister Christi well, they’re good people.  Support him if you can, please and thanks!
    I'm like an opening band for your mom.

    I’m thinking the Jeff Tweedy album needs to be considered. I’m thinking it’s the best thing he’s released since maybe Sky Blue Sky and I really like the albums after that!

    Alice in Chains - Rainier Fog

    Great album

    I'm still blown away by the work put out by RHCP, Radiohead, AIC in the last few years
    Rainier Fog is a fantastic record. Cantrell is an underappreciated genius in my view.

    Fucked Up - Dose your Dreams. 

     I keep going back to this album - it's so damn good.  Not what you'd expect from a 'hardcore' band, even features an appearance by J Mascis and strings arranged by Owen Pallett.  It's eclectic, danceable and sounds fantastic loud.

    I'm going to say Egypt Station by Sir Paul McCartney. I think it's a fantastic album that just made me feel better than any other album from this year.

    +1. Fine album by Mr. Tweedy. Looking forward to reading his book. Check out his recent interview w/ Marc Maron on Marc's WTF podcast if you haven't already done so....two thoughtful and introspective people who really don't know each other yet digging into a wide ranging conversation that sounds as if they've been friends for years.

    I’m hoping to hit up the podcast tonight! I really loved the book. Jeff writes just as he banters in between songs. It’s finny, deep, and just an easy read. Well, I imagine it’s an easy read. I have to listen to audiobooks now because of my brain shit, but it was so enjoyable. It felt like a private conversation with Jeff at my table. I’m sure the book is easy too, but check out the audiobook.
