heard this album for the first time yesterday and i was really blown away. really inspiring guitar work, evocative lyricism, and just a deep melancholic, longing atmosphere throughout the albums hour long runtime.
Peterson formally was the vocalist for Lift to Experience, a short lived post rock / shoegaze band from texas who released the high concept, biblically inspired album the Texas-Jerusalem crossroads in 2001. one of my favorite albums, and listening to his solo stuff really cemented him as one of my favorite songwriters. even if you typically don’t like the country-adjacent singer songwriter stuff i’d highly recommend checking this out.

This is the third Townes album I have listened to, and I think my favorite so far !! It’s a live album recorded in the late 70s. Townes is a songwriter who seldom wastes a word, and his storytelling feels both personal and mythical at once. He weaves his own life into both the straighforward ballads, and the outlaw country character portraits. Waiting Around to Die has brought me to tears on more than one occasion. My favorite song on the album at the moment is White Freight Liner Blues, a candid track about his struggles with heroin, and being sadenned to see his friends ailed by the same affliction. Townes is truly one of the great American songwriters.

Elliot smith so nice he’s on there twice
Definitely listen to the horsegirl album
I was having a proto-metal moment that turned into a blackmetal moment. Check out the band Mourir turning to one of my favs.
Luke Pickett (butterfly emo album cover) also highly recommended.
Glen Campbell on here just from listening to Wichita Lineman over and over

pack ramen kinda sucks,, i‘ve been making this instead and it rocks sooo much harder. its also EXTREMELY easy, takes maybe 10 minutes of prep.
2 packs of ramen
1 thinly sliced scallion
2 tablespoons thai chili sauce
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1/4th tsp of garlic powder
red pepper flakes
mix all the liquid ingredients and the garlic powder in a bowl, toss the unseasoned ramen in the sauce, garnish with scallions, and add red pepper flakes to taste. sooooo good. so easy. love you all!
