pop country: still ridiculous

woof.

did i ever tell you about that thing i saw while i was in tennessee?

thomas wilhelm and i were remarking on how broad a category "country folks" is...

martha stewart's country estate

a member of her security detail took these photos from a remote controlled drone that was flying around giving us a view of the estate never before seen.

is it 2018 yet?

i just heard that ken burns is working on a 5-part PBS documentary about country music, set to air four years from now!

jicyww : nashville music is still good

go listen to kacey musgraves

then go read this nytimes article.

    Same Trailer Different Park, the debut album from country singer-songwriter Kacey Musgraves, is easily the best thing you’ll hear this week. On the back of lead single “Merry Go ‘Round,” a dazzling portrait of small-town insularity that packs the unromantic compassion of an entire season of Friday Night Lights into one three-minute pop song, Musgraves’ first LP is quietly self-assured and breathtaking in its clear-eyed, unsentimental storytelling. More than her direct contemporaries in the mainstream country scene like Taylor Swift and Miranda Lambert, Musgraves evokes a handful of underrated alt-folk singer-songwriters from the last decade — Kasey Chambers and Kathleen Edwards, namely — with a finely honed pop sensibility and a keen knack for detail. via

Good Morning

I'm Back...

have you ever been tortured by your own mind?

i forgot to tell y'all that this got stuck in my head yesterday morning. it was like, the worst morning of my life.

dammit, i thought these two were platonic. rats.

the cuties behind proenza schouler dished to nymag about a rustic country home they have been improving in their off time. sounds depressingly perfect and terribly sexy.

They’re also working on the property’s circa-1790s house, which he says is in fairly original condition. “It’s great. We like it old; we’re kind of like restoring it as opposed to remodeling it. We’re taking it back to its original form.” Decorating, Hernandez noted, giggling, is not as butch. “That’s not the manly part. We like a little bit of both.” While the architecture is old, he says the interiors will be more like their life, a mix of things. “It’s not going to be a period piece.”

A little more prodding brought more shocking revelations. Like, they have livestock! Cows, goats, sheep, and chickens! There are also horses, but those belong to other people. “It’s fun, you know,” Hernandez said. “It’s a nice balance to the city life.” The designers also have two dogs, Jojo and Buster, a Newfoundland and a Doberman. But a fashion person can only talk livestock for so long. “I’m oversharing!” he said, and clammed up.

fishsticks goes country.
