    Good fucking times.

    Oh bummer... but they are going to tour all year, so I am sure you will get your shot.

    True....I don't suspect that they will lay a goose egg when it comes to dates in the South.....unlike some certain band. :rolleyes:

    Oh man that would be sweet. I just mapquested how far it is from here, and it's a 16 hour drive. Argh, I wish it were more like 8.

    Oh well, it looks like they'll be playing a lot of shows in 08' so I'll be patient.

    It's just outside of Atlanta.......you could probably find a cheap flight into Hotlanta.

    I wish, but flights out of Canada are never really too cheap, plus now I need a passport which I don't have.

    I'm sure they'll be back in Toronto in 08', but nothing would beat a 3 night stand. For those going enjoy...

    Just got tickets for Saturday night. Doing two or three nights is a bit much at the moment, I will save that for the Florida shows.

    This will be the girlfriend's first DBT show, should be some good times.

    Holy fuck:

    http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00106AIZK/

    Sitting here at 1 am drinking a beer and thinking that this might already be the best album of 2008.

    Cooley is on fire - PAtterson sounds brilliant, and I even have hope now for Shonna's songs...

    I am sufficiently impressed with a band I didn't think I could be any more impressed with...

    I get the feeling this is going to be one of those huge varied albums that takes years to really feel your way through... 19 tracks, varied styles, back to having 3 different voices... The word "Sprawling" comes to mind... Basically completely different from the last record (which certainly had its moments).

    And I haven't even heard it yet ;)

    Thanks for posting, Clown! I can't wait to hear this thing in its entirety.

    I think Shonna sounds a bit like Reba. Hm.

    Shonna does sound a bit like Reba...

    Cooley has proven to the doubters that BOB should be on the record - sounds simple and amusing and great...

    Three Dimes Down and The Man I Shot are going to be ridiculously good...

    With 19 songs like this, it's almost too epic - sensory overload - but something that will be nice to chew on and explore throughout the year...

    Check out the Trucker's myspace. First new song from BTCD is up.

    And its a damn fine Cooley tune.

    I was lucky enough to be at the show the first time they played it.

    Triple bill tonight:

    Patterson solo set
    Bettye LaVette
    Kelly Hogan & Nora O'Connor (billed as "plus a special sit-in from a Drive-By Trucker") :D

    I'm crazy excited!!! I'm hoping Patterson shows up at Bettye's gig, too...but that may be getting a bit greedy :D
