Jason Boland - Hardcore Troubadour

Here are my two favorite sites for discovering new music, reading about bands I already love, and generally knowing more about music overall.
(I guess that this makes me someone who talks about people who talk about music)

I love these chicks. Whiskey soaked posts about music and stuff. I don’t agree with their politics but these days it’s harder and harder to find anyone with whom I can agree on that subject. The site title is a full on nod to Steve Earl/Townes Van Zandt and the writing full of sass and cyncism. I would recommend this site to anyone who cares about Americana/Southern Folk/Southern Rock or just plain old rock ‘n’ roll. If I ever make it to their town I have a feeling I will die for alcohol poisoning. The song above is a cover of the song for which their site is named.

Nine Bullets
Met this fellow on the Lucero Board and he recently (in the grand scheme of things) started this music blog. He uses the same plugin that I use so you can play the music about which he is posting while you read the entries. He has great taste in music and I have to admit he has turned me onto more music that any site other than the Lucero board.

So go visit my friends and get yourself a better playlist already.
