A rare moment where Booker was the best commentator of the bunch. While the other two are laughing and giving him shit, Booker is trying to pay respect and give adulation to Fink before he starts talking.

Now do Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Steve Earle, Kris Kristofferson, Tom T Hall, Emmylou Harris etc.
What a load of shit.
Did yall know that stadium-filling bro country filled with mediocre white dudes making a bad version of mid-2000's hip hop is actually subversive and real?
On the "hick-libs." 🧵
Several years ago I was shocked when I heard that a Texas country singer whose music I really enjoyed was a Beto O'Rourke-supporter (Ryan Bingham). For the life of me, I couldn't understand how someone associated with rural West Texas could be on the left.

On 9/1 I played a show and the check I got for it bounced. Been playing phone tag all week w/ managers saying they'll tell the owner and the owner will get me paid. Still short my $700. Debating on doing a big call-out post on FB/IG to see if that moves things along any quicker.

I deal with a lot of feelings of imposter syndrome and illegitimacy as an artist as it is, and now learning that a song will have to get 1000 plays on Spotify (a number I've never reached) just to START generating money compounds that. Fucking corporate pigs.

In the wake of the Oliver Anthony shit, we're definitely gonna get a whole lot more dipshits putting out bad songs with even more blatant hate speech and punching down in hopes that right wing media will share it.

Perhaps the perfect middle ground between the wit and everyday poetry of John Prine and the brooding, melancholic authority of Townes Van Zandt. If he ever wrote a bad song I haven't heard it.

I feel for my folks. They seem to have this expectation that one day I'll outgrow music and get a real job. But the 34 year old with depression living in their house isn't gonna wake up tomorrow and go "I wanna work at the bank." I'll make it with this or I won't make it.

I've been sitting on six unreleased acoustic tracks for 2 years now because I felt like a certain bigger project was always right around the corner. Now I'm confident that other thing won't be out til the spring, and maybe I should release the acoustic EP in the fall/winter.

A question for y'all: We all like to mine a songwriter's library for deep cuts and so forth, but who is a writer whose most popular song is also their best, in your opinion? For me, as prolific a writer as Townes Van Zandt was, "Pancho & Lefty" is undoubtedly his best song.

It was a fun night at the office. All original songs for a listening crowd on one of my favorite stages around. If any of my traveling musician friends come through Chicagoland, Austin Community Tavern in Steger, IL always takes care of working performers.

I wanna tour a lot more extensively next spring/summer. I wanna see a lot more of the country and I wanna do it with my friends. I'm saying this 1) to put it out into the world and 2) to remind myself of the work I gotta put in between now and then to make it happen.

I'm not the most frequent co-writer, but yesterday I took out some lyrics I wrote probably 7 years ago to the tune of a basic 12 bar, and my friend Jack Whittle and I managed to transform them into something new and subversive but still nostalgic. Writing songs is fun, y'all.

I feel like one of my (many) weaknesses in booking is that I'll almost never call anyone on the phone. If I can't find an email address, I'll send a DM on FB or IG. But I just don't have it in me to call a stranger on the phone and beg them to let me play for some paltry sum.
