the people who told us to calm down because Roe was settled law are the same people now telling us to calm down because the military would never open fire on Americans

I’m proud to say that my upcoming album was made completely with AI. You heard that right, we recorded the whole thing with actual instruments. #MusicSky #MusiciansSky #Americana

This is definitely something good to wake up to

I AM SO FREAKING EXCITED ABOUT THIS BOOK. The Thousand Crimes Of Ming Tsu is a fantastic supernatural western with lots of revenge and a cursed circus and lots of Nevada.

Joshua Hedley doing a nice western swing bit about the Great Authenticity Wars in independent country music- All Hat : youtu.be/hnB_M6Zjz50?...

Authors: the $3000 that Anthropic is offering you is a SCAM. You will make a lot more if you Opt-out. open.substack.com/pub/sgcarney...

THEY CLOSED PUBLIC POOLS RATHER THAN SWIM WITH BLACK PEOPLE YOU ARE DEALING WITH THE SAME GROUP OF PEOPLE AS THE FOLKS WHO DID THIS PLEASE WAKE THE FUCK UP

I"m listening to this pretty epic 1960's Ukrainian-language country/polka music out of Canada right now. They do a mean version of Mountain Dew but about bootleg horilka booze in Canada and of course in Ukrainian: www.discogs.com/artist/40011...

Our friends over at Western AF have a new field recording of Dylan Earl performing "Get in the Truck." Check out the video and listen to Dylan's new album, "Level-Headed Even Smile," wherever you find your music. youtu.be/ngOheHcR5KM?...

India Ramey has some of the best modern era traditionalist country out there.

People who are nostalgic for the 80s have obviously forgotten how much Phil Collins we had to listen to.

I needed a tool to help me recognize intervals via mnemonic song references. I spent a few hours to create ear.provos.org. It will play a reference song for an interval when a wrong guess is entered. It provides piano, guitar and violin to be able to practice with different note characters.

Country Cutler's substack and other efforts are a fun follow for people interested in independent country music and Americana:

Just digitized this song by Glenda Kaye about her man who is 5'5" and how it doesn't matter how short he is. I think this is the first song country song I've heard about Short Kings.

You can go ahead and consider this the theme song for the non-rapture this week, one I co-wrote with Jon Weisberger called “What if You’re Wrong?” youtu.be/nALJfok70NU?...

We are also sharing a beautiful new video for the track today directed by Rett Rogers with Drake Leblanc. Much of the footage was shot by Leblanc and Jo Vidrine at a trail ride in Lafayette, LA, a regular community gathering which often draws hundreds of riders and dancers. youtu.be/cBOeMu_pfNg

Fuck my savings account got raptured

Happy rapture day!! This is when Jesus swoops down from the clouds, collects all living Christians, resurrects all believers since 70AD, and then returns to heaven for a bit while the Antichrist rises up and the Tribulation starts. What a glorious day! Now, on to Peter Thiel ...

Tylenol is about to own the United States after they are through with these bozos in court holy shit.

NEW: 404 Media is suing ICE. We have filed a lawsuit demanding the agency release its $2 million contract with Paragon, a company that makes powerful spyware to break into phones and read messages from encrypted chat apps www.404media.co/were-suing-i...

Hoo--- hoo hoo--- hooooooooo sat outside my house and listened to two Great Horned Owls having a nice evening. They moved slowly down the road through the trees, hoooooting at each other as they followed some unseen treetop highway

On this episode of Good Skews, Producer Matt sits down with singer, songwriter, and podcaster Lizzie No to talk about the folk revival happening right now. weeklyskews.substack...

The Anthropic settlement means that every author whose work was stolen to build AI can get a payout of about $2500 per book. But if copyright law says you should get $150,000 per book. All you need to do is opt out of the settlement and keep pushing the case. I need 100 authors to join me.

Man, the worst thing is I'm working on some very cool stuff with some very cool people and despite that I just feel like shit. Gonna have to unplug for a bit. Be kind to your neighbors and rude to bigots.

Oooh. My copy of The Story Of Psycho zine by @dollarcountry.org just arrived, along with zine called 10 Country Stories About Drugs. This guy does amazing work as an archivist and classic/obscure country music DJ. dollarcountry.bigcartel.com/product/the-...

New pod episode.

Excellent independent country music blog folks:

Totally! Back in the day, you could buy a Silvertone or Danelectro guitar, send it back to the factory & get a custom color. Yellow, Cyan & Pink we the usual options. Some of the guitars were sold w/these custom colors. But, I love the fact that it could be sent back to the factory for refinishing.

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaan. I've been trying for a while to find a co-writer, and I have some good album ideas. I put up ads in several different cities for remote co-writing partner and one of the people who replied is really really really promising. Kind of an alt rock dude who knows alt country

On the off chance you don't already know the Tasting History YouTube channel, it's an absolute delight and he gives history anecdotes while researching the food that's mentioned in said history.

Pro tip: if trying to pass your AI bullshit music off as a song you made, don't use the word heartfelt in the description. Literally nobody describes their music that way.

I don’t truly believe it would be better to be oblivious to everything going on right now and just live like a dullard but I do wish I had a dullard setting that I could toggle off and on

I didn’t know about this, and if I didn’t know about this, then you probably didn’t either. This should be my entire feed and it’s not and that’s a problem  This sit in has now been going on over 48 hours and I am just hearing about it now 1/
