Just got back from my second Cayamo cruise, where I caught live shows from (in no particular order):
Elizabeth Cook
John Fullbright (2). I still have a man crush on this guy.
The Lone Bellow. Everybody's darling up and coming band, but personally I can't stand them.
The Dusty 45s (2). More fun than you can shake a stick at. Told the lead guy it was my friend's birthday and he pulled her up on stage and polka'd with her.
Shawn Colvin (2)
Kacey Musgraves. Being groomed for stardom, has a lot of growing to do in terms of her songwriting.
St Paul and the Broken Bones. Another newish act that everybody loves but I would rather pass on.
Rodney Crowell. Under-acknowledged as a songwriter and not a bad performer either.
Lyle Lovett (3). Amazingly good band, and a truly nice, approachable person.
John Prine (3). I love John Prine. I was a bit disappointed though that he did almost exactly the same set for all three shows. I love his later stuff, not just the classics. Also, his health is questionable so if you ever want to see him before he kicks the bucket do it soon.
Shawn Mullins
Birds of Chicago (2). OMFG I love these guys!
Buddy Miller
Jim Lauderdale
The Black Lillies. Meh
Holly Williams. Meh
Edwin McCain. Meh
Humming House. Another Mumford and Sons wannabe act.
Richard Thompson (3). Still and forever THE BEST GUITARIST IN THE WORLD. A musical genius. Not a very cuddly personality or interested in pleasing the crowd, though.
Lucinda Williams (3). With awesome lead guitarist Stuart Mathis formerly of the Wallflowers (where IMO his talent was wasted). Lucinda has let herself go somewhat and looks a bit like Witchie-poo on antipsychotics but still put on tremendously good shows.
Jill Andrews. I'd hit it.
Brandi Carlisle. Loved her last year, am sort of over it now. At least until she gets some new material.
Todd Snider (2). He no-showed last year. This year they brought him onboard at St Barth's for two previously unannounced shows. What can I say? I love the guy as an artist and performer, but he is what an addict with underlying mental health issues looks like a couple of years before they die. Very very very sad.
Joe Purdy. Meh
There were many other acts on board, but there's no way to do it all and I'd rather see multiple shows of my favorites than try see everyone at least once. Other non-musical highlights include Saline Beach on St Barth's (rated #5 out of a hundred on some "best beaches" lists and also more or less nude), snorkeling at Buck Island off of St. Croix, too much food and too much booze. I like to think I am well-traveled and have been to many wonderful places, but I would still call this the best vacation ever.

I have a feeling I'm going to end up buying everything he ever wrote. I'll pace myself, since I can listen to it a lot faster than he can produce it.
Oh, and Happy Birthday!

Are you aware of the 100+ unreleased tracks Aphex dumped on soundcloud this past week?

There's a lot of good stuff he's done. Some of the latter Wovenhand stuff is kinda weak I think, but yeah enjoy regardless! Next time he's in town I'll probably run into you then
Cheers sir! Number 30. It was on Monday, but tonight is for celebrating.

Maybe it's because tonight it's really just hit me, but I simply just feel bad for people who haven't really gotten into Bruce Springteen.
It's not a hipster "I know more music than you!" shit. I just simply feel bad for someone who hasn't given it a shot and been so fucking wowed where you need to take a step back and think "THAT'S IT! The past such n such months/years in my life has been said."
When I first heard this I was so fucking floored I can't even describe it. It just felt amazing.

Blow away the dreams that tear you apart
Blow away the dreams that break your heart
Blow away the lies that leave you nothing but lost and brokenhearted.
