Well, A Free Man is going to have a little more free time available (I’ll get to that post soon, I promise). One of the things I’d like to do with that free time is to get back to more frequent music blogging. So, let’s get started with that, shall we?
A Free Man favorite Wilco has released an internet only cover of Woody Guthrie’s “The Jolly Banker”. The band are asking for a minimum $2 donation with proceeds going to the Woody Guthrie Foundation and Archives.
Wilco’s newest LP is due in June and we’ve gotten a glimpse at the new album art – camelicious. (Thanks to Dave from Ramblings)
Speaking of Wilco, the latest effort from fraternal Florida act Dish puts me in mind of Tweedy and Co. “Ma Raison De Vivre Ton Amour” is their debut full-length and at its best has that fluid, meandering style that Wilco has made into an art form. Dish stops well short of being derivative, however, with drummer Nathaniel Aguilar’s ‘junk-gypsy found percussion’ giving the album a raw and rattling sound that’s nicely tempered by Jay Bellerose and Jen Condos’ polished production. Definitely worth a listen.

AFM. Wow … just caught up on the comments on your post re.SAHMS etc …. cool! I love watching controversy unfold in front of me. It reminds me of when I was a kid and my parents would argue and I would watch fascinated, unable to look away.
Anyway where was I …. music for your no.2, in utero.
Your number two needs to hear the best song in the world, which would be “Where the Streets Have no Name” by U2. Preferably a live version, if you can get your hands on one.
Your baby already is where the streets have no name … swirling around, peaceful and calm, no labels or rules.
How exciting for you guys, man. Dr OC looks fantastic!!

Pi is standing next to me as I’m reading this post. Her reaction: “Look! It’s a happy birthday camel! Look at that baby! That baby’s so cute, Mommy.”

Love Wilco! Looking forward to checking out their new album. I’ll also look at downloading that song, when I’m not at work. I’d like to think my musical taste is diverse. But I really get a lot out of hearing other people’s opinions on new music. So I welcome the plan to get back into more music blogging. I need some new stuff for my playlist!
