Fine. I've come to a realization.

Son, we live in a world that has music, and that music has to be guarded by men with pretentious taste. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Trevor? You Slicknickshadystatefan? Bob has greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom. You weep for GoState18, and you curse 247. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. That GoState18's love of power metal, while tragic, probably saved lives. And Bob’s existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want Bob’s advice on that music, you need Bob’s advice on that music. He uses words like “I’m not worried”, “We’re so in their heads”, . He use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending sarcasm. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain Bob to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very entertainment that he provides, and then questions the manner in which he provides it. I would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up an album and stand a post.Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to.

Great Big Sea. Check out the clips from "Road Rage," "Turn" and "Rant and Roar."

A few years old and no banjos (that I know of), but I like "Acoustic Extravaganza."

"Ashes" is one of my favorites from the album. Any time you hear the lyrics "I have pushed you way too far/And you say Fuck you little princess/Who the hell do you think you are" -- well -- $.

I am a self-described Mumford super-fan. If anyone wants MP3's of their live shows from the past 2 years, stuff from their early EP's, new, unreleased songs, I'm your gal!

Saw Dawes and Elephant Revival Friday night. Elephant Revival has a bit of a Celtic Feel to them. Dawes is fast becoming one of my favorites.

Also enjoying Hoots and Hellmouth currently (seeing them at The Ark in March), The Head and the Heart, Seryn ... and many of the others mentioned here. Good friend from State is a Ha Ha Tonka fanatic.

Glad I could help

if you were looking for some more neil young style folk rock I reccomend Dawes. Personally this is my favorite song of the last 5 years, please play it at full volume...

While not folk, I'm a big Mark Kozelek fan. Solo stuff, Sun Kil Moon, Red House Painters. I'm adding it because I think a lot of it is folksy enough that it might really appeal.

Could you diagram that sentence, please?

BTW, Marshall Tucker Band. Not much banjo, though.

Hoots and Hellmouth from PA & Cotton Jones from MD

check out William fitzsimmons and matt costa

Ghosts of the Great Highway is a desert island album for me.

I loved April as well. The last one was great, but a bit too much of the same to stay in the rotation very long. RHP hasn't ever quite struck me the same.

Rolling Nowhere.

Bassist is a Spartan...
