      Cure, New Order, Depeche Mode, Smiths (Morrisey), The Church,…Man I loved the music then.

      Thanks Mike!

      @goosehd agree 100%, love playing The Smiths in the office (not sure AJ and Alex appreciate it though)! I saw New Order the summer just before Covid kicked in - they were fantastic, and the music, though 30+ years old sounded new and fresh

                              I went to that tour when I was in the 10th grade.  Epic.  Saw them again about 20 yrs later.  Just as good.

                                In my own version of reality I'd blast all other music into the sun, and all that would remain would be 80s music.

                                My kids are 7 and 9 and they think 80s music is current Top 40 due to the frequency with which they hear it.  I do not correct them.  I just turn up Promises Promises by Naked Eyes and let the bask in the glow.

                                            Neat, I love the Futurebirds @zhivago !

                                            After listening to the (great) interview of Mike from Ship John on Iron Cast #6, I found a performance of theirs and enjoyed it:

                                            I haven't bought any Ship John, but I've admired them from afar and love the artists they name their products for.

                                            BTW, the documentary series they referenced on the podcast by Mike Judge, Tales from the Tour Bus, is awesome. I recommend looking it up on YouTube to see a few snippets–you might get hooked. I bought each season because they're so good that they don't really get old and are great for entertaining guests.

                                            It's great to see a thriving Americana scene despite all the wretchedness Nashville has been pumping out in lieu of actual country music. Seeing the likes of Jason Isbell, Sturgill Simpson, Tyler Childers, Ryan Bingham, Chris Stapleton, Hayes Carll, etc etc get their due is great. And beyond the country/folk guys there's a resurgence in other related genres like bluegrass/newgrass as well. A lot of these artists are doing new things and pushing their genre in new directions, or even seeking to make music that traverses all sorts of genres seamlessly. Traditionalists be damned as long as it's good music.

                                            We've had good Americana going on the whole time but it seems you had to dig for a lot of great artists who didn't otherwise get the exposure they deserved during their careers (Townes van Zant, Guy Clark, Billy Joe Shaver, and too many more) while utter trash (won't name names) was getting all the airplay. It's a shame that music that I believe is stultifying and devoid of redeeming qualities has been successfully pushed on us for so long, making it hard for worthwhile artists to break through. Kudos to those who have, I can't imagine how hard it was.

                                            Think it, be it.
