samia rules, so that tracks

yes absolutely - this particular statement even leads with it. really something.

Chappell Roan, Best Coast, Wednesday, Orville Peck now Weyes Blood....should I be surprised that with the exception of Dropkick Murphys it's mostly women & queer folks/fronted bands leading the way against Wasserman?

thank you so much - and for this excellent, thoughtful thread!!

Being furious about the Super Bowl halftime show isn't a "half the country" thing, the NFL wouldn't have done it if it was. It's a "loud noisy minority who also vote in GOP primaries" thing, and our electoral system gives those people insanely more power than their actual numbers merit.

eagerly awaiting his Jellysburg Address

it's giving concepts of a plan

Jelly Roll’s trash can

Meanwhile Jelly Roll is looking at the clock, a few hours till midnight, panicking

The dancing is disgusting, especially for young children that are watching throughout the USA

just had probably my most productive book writing day in ages, to where I can finally see the finish line, and it actually just involved cutting 6k words. sometimes it's just like that

Don't Rock The Inbox A country music newsletter.

I know there are so many newsletters out there and so many worthy ones, but as @natalieweiner.bsky.social wrote this week, we want country music to stop being a punchline, to be better understood and to be worth understanding. I think it's a worthy mission.

Wow what a captivating quote can’t fucking wait

A good thing you can do about this instead of dooming is Google “how to become a poll observer in [your town]”

oh yeah I love Kassi. she doesn't give a shit and I think fundamentally understands that the chances of a woman getting a hit on country radio is so small it's a better long term investment to just not be a total bootlicker

don't worry there's always season II

Unfortunately I’m somewhat serious at this point

how often is it just one fucking guy

is my podcast called "how I left Nashville" and it's just me airing out all this shit repeatedly until you hear me being thrown into a car and driven out of town and then you understand at the end how the show got its title
