In a general population vote, NJ would do pretty well just from the Sinatra and Bruce fans.
I felt aswirl with warm secretions.
Re: Getting the spins
Tennessee especially if you count Jack White's various projects as TN since he's living there now. Same for Lucero and Jason Isbell who aren't from there, but live there now. You'll get Johnny Cash and most of country music.

I think for me it would be North Carolina and it would be a pretty easy decision -- The Mountain Goats, Iron & Wine, Superchunk, the Avett Brothers, Hiss Golden Messenger, Ryan Adams/Whiskeytown, American Aquarium and a few others I'm probably forgetting.
* - I'm using from or associated with fairly loosely, but I think it's fair to say all of the above are from NC or based there, just like Drive-By Truckers are "from" both Alabama and Georgia.
Texas would be a solid contender, too (at least for music I like), with all the Austin-based acts. Texas would include Steve Earle, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimmy Vaughan, Fabulous Thunderbirds, Old 97s, Guy Clark, Townes Van Zandt, Joe Ely, Lighting Hopkins, Freddie King, Ray Wylie Hubbard, Jimmy Dale Gilmore, Doug Sahm, Roky Erickson, Johnny Winter, Edgar Winter, Pantera, ZZ Top, Reckless Kelly, Cody Canada, Nancy Griffith...

You could probably squeeze Arcade Fire into Texas too. Speaking of which, A Giant Dog covered Neon Bible apparently. Can't wait to give it a listen.

I heard this mashup for the first time this weekend. Were people aware of this? It’s amazing.

Re: Getting the spins
Even if it isn't necessarily what I want to listen to, you have to admire Sturgill's willingness to go against the grain.

I only made it through about half this morning on the way in, but so far, it's really really good.

Re: Getting the spins
Thanks for the heads up. I gave it a couple of listens today and liked it. But it's not as good as Songs For The Deaf.
Totally Kafkaesque

Sturgill Simpson Leaves His Old Sound (and the Spotlight) in the Rear View
Earlier this month, Sturgill Simpson headed eastward from Lexington until he hit Highway 15, which he drove until it dead-ended into Highway 30. This was the way into Jackson, the sparse, hilly town of around 2,000 people he grew up in. Just before the intersection, a small sign announced that he was in the right place: “Hometown of Grammy Award Winning Artist Sturgill Simpson.”
“I can retire. How many Grammys do I need, right?” he asked from behind the wheel of his black Subaru WRX STI. “That’s 10 Grammys right there.”

Re: Getting the spins
After finishing it on way home I concur. Really really cool album.

Re: Getting the spins
Gave it a listen and still torn on whether it lives up to the “album” cover.
I felt aswirl with warm secretions.
Re: Getting the spins
I hope when he tours he plays the album in order with the anime video projected behind him.

Re: Getting the spins
I was hoping that when I watched the movie remember to breathe would have some context. But no. Seems like a rape anthem which is...really odd and a bit troubling ? When I was listening it seemed off and I have captions on for video and fee same. Anyone got any other explanations I am missing?

Re: Getting the spins
“Make Art Not Friends” would be a top 3 all-time ZZ Top song which hopefully is a compliment to them AND Sturgill Simpson.

KEXP has been counting down the top 666 albums, voted on by the listeners, for their pledge drive this week.
The top 10:
1. Ok Computer - Radiohead
2. London Calling - The Clash
3. Darkside of the moon - Pink Floyd
4. Nevermind - Nirvana
5. Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders From Mars - David Bowie
6. Funeral - Arcade Fire
7. Abbey Road - Beatles
8. Disintegration - The Cure
9. Yankee Hotel Foxtrot - Wilco
10. Revolver - Beatles
The only surprised for me was the Wilco..and Darkside of the Moon being so high on the list.

Re: Getting the spins
If you have a few hours to waste, this youtube guy combine fan videos with a good audio source to make concert videos. He's also converted old vhs recordings
https://www.youtube.com/user/DrCopperpot/videos mostly Nirvana, also Smashing Pumpkins, STP, NIN
https://www.youtube.com/user/JohnnyAirbag/videos lots of Radiohead, some Pear Jam
https://www.youtube.com/user/ChesterCopperPot5/videos So much DMB
And there's lots of 90's crowd footage in the one below, so I'm trying to see if Dave/Shirley is there

Re: Getting the spins
Abbey Road is what stands out to be as not being worthy of a public radio top 10. Revolver or Rubber Soul or Help, IMO are the best LPs indicative of indie music influence.DaveInSeattle wrote: ↑Sat Sep 28, 2019 1:02 am KEXP has been counting down the top 666 albums, voted on by the listeners, for their pledge drive this week.

Re: Getting the spins
Their countdowns are always funny for the mix of indie favorites that wouldn’t make the top 5,000 elsewhere in the top 50 and others in the top 20 that get absolutely no run on the station.

Re: Getting the spins
Yeah, Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath don't get a lot of play, but they both had multiple entries on the countdown.
Re: Getting the spins
This song should be the New Mexico anthem.
Did you see that ludicrous display last night?
Re: Getting the spins
Bonnie Raitt’s version Is better than that.

Re: Getting the spins
The isolated track of the string arrangement from Something (which I assume has been out there but I only heard this week with the release of the 50th anniversary Abbey Road boxset) is fucking beautiful.
I felt aswirl with warm secretions.

Re: Getting the spins
Read the Vampire Weekend blurb (#69 (I know ha ha nice)) and then the caption under their pic right above it, in that order. Really, really great.

Re: Getting the spins
Agreed.
Another stellar release day for my musical tastes: Wilco, Avetts, City & Colour, North Mississippi Allstars

Lead single on like the last 4 albums has been change the channel grating.

Re: Getting the spins
It's funny because Sturgill Simpson gets shit for taking a big swing at a different sound, but the Avett Brothers is a band that desperately needs to try something new.

Re: Getting the spins
Tend to agree. They typically still have a couple tracks I really like on each release though.

Re: Getting the spins
After a couple of more listens... the new sturgill is the best sturgill. Remember to breathe nonwithstanding. Still weirds me out.

Re: Getting the spins
The new Wilco album does not live up to its title. And made me picky Lucero on the 25th.
