Loading... I think everyone has gone down a YouTube rabbit hole and came across something from an artist you never heard of (even though he/she might be semi-popular!) and say "wow! this is nice"
This is what this is. Nice cover of a Neil Young song

I think thats why I have not purchased any Ike and Tina Turner music. I don't want to give any money to Ike. (well, to his estate). Michael Jackson the same. I suppose if one have an ethical beef against music artists, ones record collection would be pretty slim. I dont know, this question is probably worthy of a deeper discussion sometime down the road.
Here is Jerry and all his ego singing Me and Bobby McGee

These two songs are almost too on-the-nose (sorry, Colin) as a distillation of the distinctions of the Krug and Boeckner styles.

At least this is one performer I have managed to see live this year. Same night this video was recorded, in fact.

Heading into the elevator on the way back to my car that night this dude asked if I'd been at the Wolves game. I was like, "Nah, bro, First Ave." Then he was like, "Aw yeah, I heard them playing on the Current tonight!" And I was like, "Yeah man, Julia Holter!" Then the door shut. That's the end of that story.
