Vic Chesnutt - Skitter On Take-Off 2009 [10 Nov 2009|08:41am] psych_folk [kole4ad] Vic Chesnutt is a pretty remarkable musician. His distinctive voice and folk guitar styling is par none, and he is often accompanied by the most notable of artists no matter what the genre. Chesnutt recently released just such an album called At The Cut which featured Guy Picciotto (Fugazi) and members of Godspeed You! Black Emperor. While that record may have garnered him a bit of press, he slipped in a sleeper for the die-hard folk fans. Yes, he also released Skitter To Take-Off. Produced by Jonathan Richman and Tommy Larkin, Skitter To Take-Off is Chesnutt as his most soul-bearing. You can hear it in his voice on high points “Feast In The Time Of Plague”, “Rips In The Fabric” and “Society Sue”. The only accompaniment here is Richman (guitar, harmonium) and Larkin (drums), and their presence, too, is scarce. These somewhat minimal tunes were recorded as such, with no overdubs – yet the power behind them remains. If you thought Chesnutt was good with full accompaniment, just wait ’til you hear him on his own. It takes a true musician to captivate the listener in such an instance, and on Skitter On Take-Off Chesnutt more than succeeds at that. http://rapidshare.com/files/304839904/vic_nutt.rar 4 comments|post comment

[09 Nov 2009|11:45pm] nyc_for_free [entheogeneric] I'm wondering if anyone here knows if any bars in Manhattan will be showing the Cotto/Pacquiao PPV fight this Saturday? No real preference for location. a place with some sort of bar food (especially bar food DEALS) would be awesome. please and thanks! 2 comments|post comment

That's so raven [09 Nov 2009|12:24am] green_eyesss It's past my bedtime so I'm going to make list of reactions from the Mad Men season 3 finale: a) Did anyone notice it said "Fart Department" instead of "Art Department" on the door? b) Seeing this divorce happen between Don and Betty is so awful. Even though Betty's indiscretions are fewer than Don's, I still really feel for Don and see how it's crushing him. c) Trudy. d) OMFG my idol is back at SterlingCooperDraperETC being sassy and taking charge e) Peggy refusing to get Roger coffee, Peggy's interactions with everyone in general f) WHAT HAPPENED TO SAL. SOMEONE TELL ME SAL IS OKAY g) Ken? Bearded dude whose name eludes me? Honestly I only care about Harry so that's alright. All in all, great episode and I can't wait until next season. ~never forget~ post comment
