Some of my favorite bands have new videos out so while I am writing my Friday life management post, which is looking like a bear of a post, I’d toss up some videos for you to enjoy…
Lucero, possibly my favorite band in the world, has commissioned fans to create videos for each track on the new album 1372 Overton Park and so far two have been posted. As a side note I received e-mail notification that my copy of the new album has shipped, got a tracking number, and am waiting less than patiently for it to arrive along with the hoodie…

While I don’t watch the show if you are a Lucero fan you might want to catch the premier of the CW’s One Tree Hill this Monday because Mom off of 1372 Overton Park is being featured in the show. It’s my favorite song off the new album and I will be recording the show so I can support the boys by watching it. Who knows it may add a new show to my list…
Apart from Lucero my second highest played artist recently would be Tim Barry and he has a video out for his new song Prosser’s Gabriel. Autopsy IV over at Nine Bullets, which I write for as well, explains that Gabriel Prosser was a slave blacksmith who led a rebellion in VA around the summer of 1800. Montclair State University has a great piece on the rebellion. While I am not as cool as AIV and didn’t get to go the Suburban Home Records anniversary party and hear Tim sing this live the video is awesome.

And last but certainly not least is Two Cow Garage which is another of my top five artists with a video for a new song called American Static.

That’s all for the videos. Now I am off to work on my Friday life management post and hope I can get it done today, unlike my Wednesday political post which ended up on Thursday…

ive had the pleasure of sharing a beer with tim barry. on the way to see him play one night a friend was telling me about this song. he wrote a paper about it in college. id never heard of it nor had anyone else we were with. tim barry played his amazing set and in the middle of it started talking about this song. what it meant, what it was about. he startted singing it and the crwod was silent. .no one knew what it was so no one was singing along. except for my friend Joe,. tim barry saw/heard this and motion him tothe stage and let him sing it with him.it wa fucking awesome to say the least.

And that’s just the thing about this genre of music, from Lucero to Tim Barry to Jon Snodgrass to Cory Branan they are all real people who aren’t taken in by people liking their music. They are willing to share a beer with anyone at a show and talk about life, music, or whatever. It’s amazing when someone as talented as Tim calls up someone to sing with them. That’s a great story! I have yet to see Tim live but I am going to fix that as soon as I can.

Last Year I had a 102 temp and had to catch a 0500 flight out the next morning. This year the bastards are skipping Houston. I am going to try and drive up to Austin to see the tour but I am not 100% sure I’ll make it. He’s on it this year as well as Chuck and Austin. I really want to see Austin live as well after hearing his new album.
