I have to say, I can’t believe I actually stumbled upon the Itinerant Angler with a web search one day. I thought, “hmmm, I’ll check this out a little”. When I heard the first podcast and the music, I was hooked. Totaly what I like. Now, it is my new source for music! Great stuff.
And Phil’s right about R.E.M.
Sorry to play the Old Guy card, but y’all are nuts if you think someone should start listening to REM with “Automatic,” which came out in 1992 and was their EIGHTH full-length album (not including some B-side collections and stuff). If you like indie music, go back and listen to “Murmer” (1983) and “Reckoning” (1984) their first two albums, which are amazing works of jangly, Rickenbacker-fueled, off-kilter genius. If you want to stay with the more mainstream stuff, start with “Fables of the Reconstruction” (1985). THEN work your way forward.
Sheesh. Kids these days…..

This comment made me break out all the old Athens Music. Guadalcanal Diary, Chickasaw Muddpuppies, Pylon and so on.
There is some great new Athens music that hits the same realm and goes touches the bluegrass and oldtimey. Don Chambers and Goat has to be one of the best acts in Athens today and when teamed with The Drive By Truckers – they are hard to beat. Don use to be front man of Vaudeville and now he has hit his roots playing a self taught clawhammer style banjo. He’ s quite a character to boot.
