So, I use the Newsbreak app because it has articles from some local news sources, and I haven't bothered to set up an RSS feed with those sources.

That said, the "Newsbreak Originals" are flaming hot garbage with AI-generated content, outdated news, insane religious or pseudoscience bunk, and other nonsense.

If possible, the mods of this community should consider automatically filtering out posts from this domain.

Ignoring the element of satire, I think that by today's standards, Japanese Cowboy would be considered by most audiences to be racist, Piss Up a Rope to be sexist, and Mr. Richard Smoker to be homophobic.

From my experiences growing up in the rural south, I interpreted Mr. Richard Smoker as riffing on the obviously wrong-headed fear about gay men being "drug addled, cross-dressing dick smokers who want to 'convert' my teenage boy".

Not to say that 12 Golden Country Greats isn't an excellent album with an all-star ensemble of players and clever satirical takes on country music, just that it's not something I'd recommend to people without a heads up lmao

This album doesn't have 12 songs, but legend has it that the "12" refers to the session musicians recruited from Nashville to provide the excellent music.

However Ween being Ween, this album is likely to be very offensive, lyrically-speaking, to a lot of folks' sensibilities in 2023


just a heads up for folks not listening on headphones!

The Highwaymen


the ultimate country supergroup: Johnny, Willie, Waylon, and Kris. Highly recommend their live album, American Outlaws .

John R. Miller


his newest album, Heat Comes Down, is maybe a little less straight-up country, but it is excellent songwriting.

Colter Wall


Western Swing & Waltzes; Little Songs

Wilco - in the early years, they had some more "traditional" country sounds A.M.

As others have said, you can't go wrong with John Prine or Townes van Zandt.

Bonus NRPS, Gram Parsons, and Merle Haggard

A few years before Last Dance, but Runnin' Down a Dream is the first rock song---and maybe the first song of any genre---that I can remember. Dancing on the bed while playing air guitar to Tom Petty is baked into my core childhood memories!

Feeling old indeed lmao

Going to vote out our welfare-thieving, shitbird governor. I don't necessarily like the dem option, but he's better than what we've got.

I'm excited to vote for the lady running against our flappy-headed, overgrown fratboy of a state house rep.

It'll be a miracle if either of these races shake out the way I hope they do, but the odds are better than usual!

DOOM is like my Elvis


I know he's gone, but being the supervillain that he was, I want to believe that he faked his own death.

Thanks for this, I don't think I've heard this track before!

I love this album!

Several years back, I had the pleasure of working one of his shows----and it certainly was a show---so when I stumbled across his live cuts by accident last summer, I wore em out
