unchartedthickets,
Far be it from me to correct anybody, but I believe motherfucker should be spelled as one word, not two. You're welcome.

Excuse me, but Mark Spencer's stylings do not have universal appeal. Believe it or not, some people don't like Jay Farrar either, and would never lick his boots. As I said, pedal steel and all that vein, including organ-like keyboards, are just too twangy/corny for me. As for guitar, his sound is not interesting to me. Maybe he has great technique. I don't care. I honestly wish he would leave Son Volt.
you have to say that the man can play. there is just no way around it. you my not like his style, but the technique is outstanding.

i don't want to bother trying to win your heart over to the other side. for all i know you could be a famous guitar/photographer from reading your comments but i doubt it. usually good creatives aren't so fucking sullen but i could be wrong. take me for instance...hehe. i'll take your word with a grain of salt and just wonder why everyone isn't making good photo's or playing multiple instruments like they were born to play them. no one said Spencer had "universal appeal" but some people would say that they were pretty much astounded by the caliber of his performance. others, like yourself, are quite negative but you seem to think Spencer just plain sucks. what i really want to know is are you just one those brilliant genius mother fuckers who can back their opinion with solid artistic awesomeness or are you just another boring critic mother fucker with a point and shoot.
not only do i like Spencer's playing but i also find that he has a well developed language in photography. i also find him amusing when he's got someone's under pantalones in a bunch.
