Looks like Mr. Alex is having a moment:

Amazon has had this preorder up for a few months now but I've still not seen any other mention of this from Butch or anywhere else. https://www.amazon.com/American-Love-Story-Live-Quarantined/dp/B08LNLCHN6/ref=sr_1_1?crid=ICUQ8NW2VZ6K&dchild=1&keywords=butch+walker&qid=1609728977&s=music&sprefix=butch+walker%2Caps%2C253&sr=1-1

The amount of anger and aggression here is pretty over the top. I know the holidays can be stressful but geez.

Anybody on the eastern side of the Atlantic get this yet? Trying to figure out if there were different pressings for US and EU. My version is a much darker green than the mock up and it has a "made in the U.S.A." sticker on the shrink.

I think what you're saying is that if someone is truly principled about "cancelling' an artist based on that artist's misconduct, why should it matter whether the music is good or lousy? I think ntslash is candidly acknowledging that it's much easier to stick to your principles if you don't feel like you're sacrificing that much.

Nah you’re good: https://thehardtimes.net/culture/man-only-listens-to-canceled-bands-on-spotify-so-he-doesnt-support-them-monetarily/

Speculation that the song "Birmingham" is about Jason Isbell: Held her hand in old Savannah Mirror-gold print on her dress Her hair was combed and parted Like a beautiful princess I didn’t see you at the altar Way back then, you were so drunk You were washed up on some hooker’s bed Behind a shitty restaurant Bought her pretty clothes and diamonds Like I was born to be her man We were more than commentary Or a cheap headline grab So when the wind blows in your window ‘Cause the storm don’t give a damn Pray the win

This is my point exactly. People are going to make their own decisions based on their own moral compass. We could go on all day with examples. Some people may shun the Beatles music because John Lennon was an admitted domestic abuser. Legions of others haven't let that get in the way of enjoying the Beatles. While I've taken Ryan Adams out of my rotation, I'm not about to get confrontational with peeps who can still get something enjoyable from his records.

From NYTimes Report: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/14/arts/music/fbi-ryan-adams.html Federal law bars the sexual exploitation of children under 18, defining a violator as anyone who “persuades, induces, entices or coerces any minor to engage in” a visual depiction of sexually explicit conduct. Several legal experts said that decisions on whether to prosecute such cases could hinge on whether the adult reasonably believed the minor was of legal age, taking into account context from their conversations.

It'd be rad if the dialogue here could continue the way the last few posts have. I know this is the internet and it's super easy to curse at people and insult them without consequence. But I think it's way more interesting for people to disagree without telling each other to fuck off. Whether one can/should separate art from the artist is a long running issue. I have my own take but it would be the height of hubris for me to get hostile and belittling towards someone whose views don't align exactly with mine. It's not hard for me to understand that some folk

If he's ever in a position to play live again, how he handles the heckling will be very interesting. I do not expect that to go well. Interestingly, I think Adams's personality has a lot in common with Trump's: bottomless narcissism, inability to deal with the slightest of of criticism (despite readily dishing it out to others), complete lack of empathy, tendency to see people as objects for him to use and then discard when they no longer serve his purpose(s), pathological lying, loyalty only to himself, and the belief that his victims are really the bad actors and he is really th

Looks like he's finally coming out of exile with a March release of the "Wednesdays" LP: https://www.jpc.de/jpcng/poprock/detail/-/art/ryan-adams-wednesdays/hnum/10385169?fbclid=IwAR1EVRe24sXcn_6W-WrkjVBM0jRtP-zzwPN8tTQn9YV3woHUTQKBQbOUg1k

Vintage vinyl in Jersey has it in stock and they ship.

On my third listen. This record absolutely surpassed my expectations, which were high to begin with. The only track I'm not totally loving is House of a Thousand Guitars. Janey Needs a Shooter and Burning Train are my current faves.
