Yeah, this was pretty fucking amazing.

They played the entire Those Pretty Wrongs album which was shockingly good. Like I was expecting it to be 'Hey this is ok but I love Big Star' but it was good enough that if that's all they did this would have been one of my favorite shows in ages....Just Jody singing and the other guy on amplified acoustic....

Then they encored with Way out West, For You, Ballad of El Goodo, Blue Moon, ...and like two more...good stuff....

I'm in love With A Girl was another one I think...

Sounds pretty sweet. Jody also seems like a really good person, which is irrelevant but refreshing.

If you spend just five minutes with Jody, your life will be better for it.

you was at the party

Super true though. This was a tiny room, like 50 people in there....Weird mix of Dad-Guys, Mom-Gals, younger folk and super cool people like me.

He was running the merch table himself, signing everyone's records, etc. Super nice, and seemingly shocked by the attention. (Or maybe just super stoned).

I saw that. Thanks for helping me know the answer to a $2000 question, friends on WTFDetroit!

At nighttime, Trebek goes out and sees the people

I've been planning on getting one of those made for months. I think I can get it for like $600. Trying to rationalize that to myself.

*Angry that someone beat me to it.

It's a silly brit, doesn't really count.

Though power-pop forefathers Big Star were active for just a few short years in the early-mid 1970s, the Memphis band has gone on to become one of the most influential artists in modern music, with a cult status that few can compete with. This new compilation celebrates Big Star with 16 tracks spanning all 3 of their LPs (1972's #1 Record, 1974's Radio City and Third, released after the group disbanded, in 1978), and features rare single versions of some of their most popular songs. Includes liner notes from GRAMMY-winning writer and director Robert Gordon, plus an introduction by sole surviving Big Star member, drummer Jody Stephens.

Friendly reminder that December boy's got it baaaaad.

In March 2015 he announced a country album together with Holly Muñoz.[15][16] The album was recorded at his studio and was a response to Willie Nelson's 1975 album Red Headed Stranger. The album received positive reviews. [17][18] The Boston Globe commented that it was a " fascinating left-field listen" noting "the gorgeous back-and-forth dueting of Stringfellow and Munoz".[18] Willie Nelson's daughter Amy Nelson also called the album "amazing" on her Instagram feed and thanked them on behalf of the Nelson family.

Just discovered this, it's good. [Stringfellow project]
