I regret that I'm unable to attend this show tonight, since the venue didn't promote it and it's way past my bedtime. But if anyone goes, could you drop me an email at thebeachcomber@earthlink.net? Thanks...

This is great. I hope you get some of the more obscure songs in there... I highly recommend the book I just read by the Beatles' engineer, Geoff Emerick's Here, There & Everywhere. Fascinating and very dramatic.

F Censorship!

Hi, my name is Chris Manson and I have met quite a few of you as a writer for the Destin Beachcomber. I am now also employed by the Beach Breeze and am trying to expand the paper's south Walton coverage. I would like to know of any gigs coming up Weds. 4/23 through Tues. 4/29 anywhere in...

Just got the new P.O.D. liking very much. Not just a Christian Rock Band, but a Kick A Christian Rock Band... Also Hayes Carll, Trouble in Mind which includes my favorite song in ages, "She Left Me for Jesus."

Send Chris at the Beachcomber a copy of your CD... if you have any photos from the event email them to me at thebeachcomber@earthlink.net Looking forward to hearing your album.

I really like the Hancock album, too. I wasn't a huge fan of his solo work aside from "Rockit" and his seminal score for the 1974 film "Death Wish," but this is a true jazz record, like the guy said in The Beachcomber this week, "not some crossover jive."

Cyrus Chestnut, Cyrus Plays Elvis (Koch, 2007). Excellent jazz pianist, imaginative interpretations of Presley hits. Alison Krauss, A Hundred Miles or More: A Collection (Rounder, 2007). Worth it for the Dumbo song alone. Going to see her and Robert Plant end of this month, can't wait! The...

Marc is excellent, have seen him solo...

The Walton Sun? Are they still publishing that?

Spindletree, You kids are fantastic, as you already well know. Have my big birthday bash this weekend but will try to catch you next time. -CCM

Good luck with that. There is always room in this community for a band that has something new to offer.

Did anyone happen to catch Jason Isbell at the Swamp last Sunday? I was not aware of his appearance, otherwise I would have definitely been there. Must have been a last minute addition. Anyway, if you caught the show, drop me message with your thoughts/comments.

Lew, I'm still digging the current album. Hope that one song of yours - that Christopher wrote about in Beachcomber recently - makes it on the new disc.

Nick Lowe, Jesus of Cool (reissue of seminal 1978 LP with bonus tracks) Peter Gabriel, "More Than This" Anyone going to see Elton in P'cola Friday? My love and I will be there breathlessly awaiting "Bennie and the Jets" from the great, ridiculously expensive seats.

Also, the new album by Stephen Malkmus & the Jicks, Real Emotional Trash.

Don't miss these kids, they're great. They did an acoustic version of the Buggles' "Video Killed the Radio Star" when I caught them at Gravel Road. Kari, hope all is well with you.

Afghan Whigs: Unbreakable (great band I somehow missed out on during the '90s)... Jackson Browne: Solo Acoustic, Vol. 2 (superb, and the man does have a sense of humor)... The Everly Brothers: The Mercury Years (I could listen to these guys all day)...

...not familiar with this one, will see if they have it on emusic.com

My girlfriend loves the "AtU" s/t... haven't heard much of it yet. Can't argue with "Abbey Road," though. this week I'm loving: Black Mountain: In the Future .38 Special: Resolution Miles Davis: Live at Montreux P.H.

Run! don't walk to see this band.

Los Campesinos!: Hold on Now, Youngster (exciting, funny, all the things you want from a post-punk band) Dolly Parton: Backwoods Barbie (her latest) Everly Brothers (I could listen to these guys all day long) Bruce Springsteen, "Tougher than the Rest" (official song of the P/C lovefest)...

Go see these guys. They're fantastic!

This week Los Campesinos! Hold on Now, Youngster available at www.emusic.com And lots of Johnny Cash... And the Everly Brothers, always.

Cash: The Legend currently on the box. Though I really have a preference for the compilation "LOVE" due to my current (and hopefully forever) state. What's your favorite Cash song/album?

Herbie Hancock, River: The Joni Letters Dion: New Masters Souljaboytellem.com And, especially, "Stick with Me Baby" by Robert Plant and Alison Krauss, My New Favorite Song.

Caught Dread Clampitt (electric version w/drums) last night... better than ever, and with Matt lending his immense talents, look out.

The title of the thread was just a nod to Jerry Lewis' "The Errand Boy," one of his (many) great movies. I actually prefer live theater, and probably attend more than I do the local cinema.

I just watched Jodie Foster in Neil Jordan's "The Brave One" on DVD--best Death Wish rip-off ever! Terence Howard is an incredible actor. Finally saw "Syriana," good movie--very complex. Am about half way through "Hard Candy" which I put in my Netflix queue 'cos I wanted to see more of the...

Not exactly in Walton Co., but we dined there last Thursday after our Act4Murder performance, and all I can say is "Zowie!"

Beachcomber article on Stinky's Sundays got bumped last issue, will be in the issue out this Thursday lord willing. Keep playin' those blooze, guys...

This week I'm spinning Lily Allen's "Alright, Still" an early 2007 release but new to me. Also a bunch of love songs since Cupid finally got around to me.

the new Truckers is first-rate. I grew up in the North Alabama town where Hood and Cooley formed their first band, Adam's House Cat. I was extremely happy over their success, which surprised me since I'm usually such an envious type.

I am not sure if this is the same recording as what's on the deluxe ed. I found it on emusic. 30 tracks for $9.99, so the Coltrane cost me a grand total of 2 tracks (66 cents) as opposed to the album only ****e they pull on iTunes. You should consider ditching those people who leave the room...

Rock on Monkey Man!

Newfangled Theory ROCKS!!!

Bar-Kays, hell yeah.

I think she does a good job of representing her constituents. Every BCC meeting I've attended, Ms. Meadows always has a lot of items on her plate. Just getting people talking about recycling is a good start.
