I'm deeply honored that the Village Voice web page has linked this blog. I'm also vaguely perplexed. Does this mean that Chuck Eddy reads this blog? I wish I'd said something more articulate about that Patton record now. Hey Chuck! Hire me!

Um, shit, now I have to say something insightful about music. OK, we'll go with this: The funniest thing about I'm Wide Awake It's Morning is the way that Conor Obherst uses Emylou Harris' voice like a Hi-Liter. Like, "Oh wow, this line is really important! I better get Emmylou Harris to sing along with it!"
