wouldn’t remember this, but about 22 years ago, she showed remarkable kindness to me and my wife, who was wheelchair bound at the time. She chatted with us for about 20 minutes before a Moldy Peaches show at the Casbah in…

artists out there looking for a song to cover? We don’t do much that could be classified as country, but this is a nice little song that someone more adept in the genre might do more justice to than we could.
80s drum machine? Check. Title borrowed from TS Eliot’s Four Quartets? Yep. A danceable diatribe straight from the heart of Bedfordshire? You got it! Zero Summer: Apple:

I am listening to the playlist that
@Talentspotter5
created right now, and “Snake” is playing. It’s a phenomenal song! I’m definitely going to listen to the entire album.
Today, we remember the late, great Johnny Thunders, as we do every year on the anniversary of his passing. We have played “You Can’t Put Your Arms Around a Memory” on every JT Day since 1993, just as Johnny played “Be Bop a Lula” to honor Gene Vincent. Long live Johnny Thunders!
“What the heart wants and what the heart gets are two different things on this jet to regret.” - Just one of the tales from what Greil Marcus called the “weird, old America” on The Direction’s Angels in the Hours Before Dawn.

Thank you! I am now following on Spotify. Listening to Evil Came to Town right now. Great update on country blues with some wonderful vocals and superb slide playing. I will explore your music further for sure!
@historyrock_
It all comes down to what you value, I suppose. My personal list would have to include Tom Verlaine, Chuck Berry, Phil Manzanera, Bo Diddley, Mick Jones, and Johnny Thunders, among others who would be long shots to make a list like this.

I watched much of the video and will watch the remainder when I return home tonight. What I watched was compelling. I signed the petition and will share this with others. Thank you.
San Diego, let us into the show for free (we hadn’t yet purchased tix), made sure my wife had an unobstructed view in front of the stage, and invited us to have a drink after the show. A truly brilliant talent and a deeply wonderful person. -Brian Vargo of The Direction

We are putting the final touches on an album that has taken us 19 years (!!) to finish, but it’s not out yet. Of our released material, this simple thing took several years, going through many iterations, to get right - right by our standards anyway!

Your music is beautifully melancholic. “Imago” and “Principio” resonated with me in particular. I am now following you on Spotify. Thank you for the superb music!
