In other releases: Those Darlins, Drive-by Truckers
I did the cnn.com/live thing again today and put every ounce of energy I have into not saying any of my favorite words while discussing that damn new Hannah Montana album. It was exhausting. However, here’s the stuff you should go buy right now:
“Those Darlins” Those Darlins
A coonskin cap, blu-blockers and an anchor tattoo on the shoulder? And that’s just one of Those Darlins. Welcome to the even newer South. After watching that clip, if you still need me to explain why Those Darlins are badass, you should connect your shitty iPod to a wall socket, shove it up your boohoo, and jump in a bathtub.
Someday, I plan to take a time machine back to Utah and marry all three of Those Darlins, so stop lookin’ at my wives like that. And by “time machine” I mean a 1984 Buick Mini-wagon.
Buy the album here. Now. I said NOW!
“Live from Austin” Drive-by Truckers
I’ll go on record, once again, as saying the Drive-by Truckers are the best active rock ‘n’ roll band today. Live from Austin comes with both a CD and DVD. (Yeah, I know, it’s about f@cking time someone did that). This clip isn’t from the DVD. The DVD was beautifully shot in HD at Austin City Limits, and it probably makes me happier than any other object I’ve ever owned.
I could go on for paragraphs about how great these guys are and why, but the above The Righteous Path from the new DVD says more than I could after 18 drafts. Buy it here and start preparing for your life to get better.
