A-Trak is back with the amped-up sequel to his acclaimed mashup collection of 2007 that mixed the swagger of Southern-fried rap with dance-club ready beats. Listen to the entire album below and download the whole thing for free at his website. Be warned: this is perfect for this Memorial Day weekend, be it a BBQ, driving to a party, or a banging party at home.
After the jump are five TV shows you should be watching, whether on TV, Hulu, DVD, or by illegal means. Just watch them. These are not ranked, and they are not necessarily my all-time favorites (I’m leaving out many of my favorites, in fact) – they are just shows I am currently in love with. You will love them too.
Today I bought a ticket to watch Dwight Yoakam at the Nutty Brown Cafe on Saturday June 5th here in my new home of Austin, Texas. And I am stoked. I haven’t seen Dwight since his 1996 Gone Tour (I was 9 at the time). Besides the Beatles, I have been a fanboy of Mr. Yoakam longer than any other of my favorite bands/artists. And so, to celebrate my $50 purchase for what will be one of the best evenings of my life, I have compiled the most difficult list to compile ever – my favorite Dwight Yoakam songs.
Originally this was going to be a list of ten, but Dwight has too many classics to pick from. As with most best-ofs for DY, it is heavy on the 80’s and early 90’s, but there are a few tracks that are more recent. I invite you to browse his entire catalog – it is fascinating and almost perfect. For those who are fans of a more traditional country sound, preferably the honky-tonk styles of Buck Owens, Dwight is hands down the best you can get. In my opinion, he’s the best country music songwriter and performer to have ever lived. Enjoy.
Sunday marked the 30th anniversary of the release of my favorite movie of all time – Stanley Kubrick’s film adaptation of the Stephen King novel The Shining. The film, which is far superior to the book, is now regarded as a horror classic, though it was not initially given that esteemed honor upon its release in the spring of 1980. Quite the opposite, in fact. Kubrick’s re-transformation of the story confused viewers, critics, and even Stephen King, who publicly detested the film.
Funny how a few years can change everything.

Posting is on a short hiatus, as I have moved from Lubbock to Austin. I’m pretty busy and have no easy wi-fi access, so this week’s posting will be spotty, but here’s a song that I’m relating to tremendously as of late.
