Oh man I could talk about Lucinda Williams for a while. Most I think were turned onto her from Car Wheels On A Gravel Road (an equally good if not superior record). That said… you want gut-wrenching? You want country croon that’ll tear on your six string heart? You got it with S.O.W.
Favourites: Six Blocks Away, He Never Got Enough Love, Sweet Old World, Pineola, Sidewalks of the City.

Love is Overtaking Me, Arthur Russell
-an archival release, contains a lot of great folky tracks, still has elements of his electronic work
Viva Last Blues, Palace Music (Will Oldham)
-great intro to Will Oldham, a great off kilter folk artist
Red Apple Falls, Smog (Bill Callahan)
-Really solid album, very subtle and sparse but rewarding on relisten
Joanna Newsom and the Ys Street Band EP, Joanna Newsom
-Beautiful EP with great folk accompaniment, even if you aren’t familiar with her music, i think this is a great starting point, the second track is very emotional for me

Annoyed about having to hold your empty alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverage at a standing-room event?
Tuck that sucker between your feet. If someone comes towards you, just angle them away from the empty can using a step forward with the hind leg.

When you find yourself accessing the smooth, sleek, word-sharing medium known as FaceTime - hit that power + volume up combo.
Use particularly when conversing with a loved one or real cutie pie. Best part is to forget you screenshat and find the picture next week on the loo.
