Bits and pieces stacked unsteadily

We’re up to podcast six now! But I don’t know if we’re making what you guys want. Sure we get emails, but how do I know if those are representative of the masses? So tell us, c’mon now! Do you love the ‘casts? Do you want more talking? More music? Free candy with each download? Now is your chance to ask for anything you want. Comment here or email us. Hell, don’t limit yourself to podcasts, tell us what you like and don’t like about the site in general.

Brown Country by Nikky Finney is a very intense poem about country music and race issues in the US. Take a second and read it. I’m not going to comment on it, you just take from it whatever you find in it, okay?

KEXP, an excellent radio station from my home town, has a weekly show, Swinging Doors, that’s right up the HCT alley, so to speak. It’s on every Thursday, but if you know how to use that internet thing (and I know you do) you can stream each week’s program any time before the next one airs. So in that down time, after you’ve listened to our podcasts half a dozen times and are eagerly awaiting the next album review so you know what to buy, you can check out Swinging Doors for your fill of country, real country, both old and new. Trust me, if you aren’t already listening to this, you’ll thank me for turning you on to it.

And now for the obligatory YouTube clip! Yeah, I can’t help it, I love that site and I’m always compelled to share what I find:

Look! It’s Waylon! Look how little he is!! Don’t you just wanna pinch his little baby cheeks? Aw, this makes me feel all warm and happy and little sad for loss of Waylon. Today we honor the dead and Waylon, darlin’, I’m thinking of you.
