I haven't read a good Uncle Tupelo reunion thread in a while.

Claiming "The Last Waltz" as a favorite soundtrack is kind of cheating, if we are playing that game I can say the soundtrack to Six String Belief would be in my favorites.

But the top three of the past year have to be:
1. I'm Not There
2. Once
3. Juno

God I love this girl, not Ellen but Patty.

Great thread, some great videos. No love for Sticky though?

Here is some of my favorite Tom Waits:

something atypical for me, but I really like it:

It is easy to get down on politicians but Barack offers something very different than any recent presidential candidate. I am really hopeful for some change.

It's not hard for him to jerk a few tears, I would have loved to have been sitting around drinking whiskey with that crowd.

His taste is amazing, usually. I thought Steve Earle's Washington Square Serenade was a miss. This is the first year he has not put Josh Ritter on his list. How do you leave Josh Ritter of your years top ten list?

Thanks Talus, good article.

What I would give to be in that barn with Townes, Waits and Ritter drinking whiskey all night.
