My hard drive collapsed this week, disproving my theory that I could function independently of my laptop. My weekly habit is to store up songs and downloads for the week, then burn a CD the morning of TMM. To my knowledge, they're still there, dormant, awaiting their wake-up call on my ineffective hard drive.
Which doesn't mean that I didn't offer anything new on this Episode. I sat on Frontier Ruckus for quite some time (I don't really know why), but unleashed it here, as well as a nice new Luke Doucet (which does an impressive job of being an americana tribute to Ian Curtis that sounds a bit like a rootsy Joy Division). I didn't take immediate radio action on Delta Spirit for a couple weeks, either, but really enjoy their sound. Props to anyone who can come up with an effective name for the sort of indie rock/alt.country racket played by folks such as these (and Blitzen Trapper, et al.). My best effort so far: Neck-beard rock ...
