Stephen Curry fools Chris Birdman Anderson

This reminds me of the time (pre-suspension, post-legendary dunk contest) we saw Birdman (then with the Hornets) play the Mavs, and as he exited after the game, yelled at him to come to Dallas. To our disbelief, he turned, and in front of his whole team, yelled back for us to “talk to Mark”, as in Cuban, who could make the trade. His team looked at him equally in disbelief, and realized he had just quit on them.

The group may have broken up 40 years ago, but it sold 3.28 million albums in 2009 — without digital downloads.

In case you were wondering if the Beatles were any good.

Dylan Sneed - No Worse For the Wear

Since Kickstarter seems to be all the rage lately, I thought I might direct some attention to an artist that is using it to fund his new record. Dylan Sneed moved from Texas to South Carolina, and wrote an album about it, appropriately titled Texodus. This is from his last EP, No Worse For the Wear, and the Paul Simon/Mumford and Sons vibe makes it a keeper.

You can help fund Dylan’s next record here.

Any surprise here?

Why don’t more people know about the Silver Seas?

(“Message From The Birds”, from Starry Gazey Pie)

Here is Stephen Bruton performing the original, devastating version of “Getting Over You”, referenced in my previous post.

Willie Nelson - Getting Over You (Stephen Bruton cover)

Part of cover Friday, inspired by New Speedway Boogie’s post. This features Willie and Bonnie Raitt covering the great, recently passed Stephen Bruton, who is now gaining some acclaim for writing the music for Crazy Heart’s fictional hero Bad Blake, who, thanks to Bruton, is better than most real country singers performing today.

Big Star - Thirteen

I have tried to make a list of my top 10 favorite songs of all time, and can never seem to get it below twenty five. A no-brainer, however, is that this song is in the top 10. Everything about it is perfect — the ache in Chilton’s voice, the way you can hear the pick on the strings in the bridge, and the utter childlike simplicity of the words. Also worth checking out is Jeff Tweedy’s wonderfully voice-cracking cover.

In regards to the iPhone, where I can compare my use of Instapaper, the [Kindle’s] screen really makes a big difference for extended reading. But the biggest advantage is the Kindle’s lack of any good use other than reading. When I pick up a Kindle, I read.

5typos.net: My Kindle 2 review (before the reality distortion field)

I use Instapaper to read on my iPhone (until my eyes start drying up), but I often switch over to send texts, take calls, or play Words With Friends (jagiddens). When I’m on the Kindle, I don’t even try to do anything but read, which is what makes it such a great experience.
