and i listen to Kings every now and then, mainly on road trips with my brother.
i generally hate modern "alt country" i.e. ryan adams, black rebel motorcycle club, etc.
i just listen to old records.
But the ethnomusicological part of my brain can like them
and where they came from.
but i have a thing for nasty southern nineties.
and that quickie-mart haircut, the oily skin and the plaid just about put me out of reach.
i know.
i posted that, walked outside, and thought...
did i seriously just do that?
but i had just hiked through a fucking forest of itchy grass to get to location and then had to shoot scenes with a headache for hours and then hike fucking back and sit in a car that was blasting M.I.A. all the way back to town, and i hadn't eaten all day and
i honestly can't stop listening to that song. just that song.
i would like it so i could make it into a ringtone. that song would make a good ringtone.

also: would be good to strip to. sayin!
This is true. Maybe husband has some unexpected spice to be entering his life?
and
once and for all
this is not my opinion about kings of leon.
i think they're entertaining but overratted.
i just dig the smeary nineties frontman right now, okay?
(although the distinct lack of any significant beard is a real problem. i mean really... he may be nice to look at, but there's just this boring naked face. gross.)

brmc is not alt country. wilco would count.
but really, in my mind, alt country is hank iii, old 97's, br549. but better than all of this (yes, even better than hank iii) is whiskey and co. if you've never heard them, you would absolutely love it naomi. seriously best country made in the last 20 years.
i have a terrible habit of using terms in only the broadest of senses.
been sitting on my apartment floor listening to emmylou, loretta, tammy, dolly, hank, willlie, johnny, ray, conway + for about the last year, which is strange because, having grown up in the country, i was way way way anti-country my whole life, really until i started to get into and then study folk music and understood country's place in the whole scheme of things.
a huge chunk of my record collection now (and the part that i tend to listen to the most) is actually old country / folk.
One of the things i love about older country is the gutsyness of female vocals/lyrics.*
i mean, i'll sit down and listen to Braid with you all day,
but there's something real and good in this old stuff.
and i think that's why i hate 99% of modern mainstream country.
it seems like it's changed into this kind of ignorant subculture that is just sort of saying the lines it is supposed to.
