rec of the day CHRIS PORTKA "the album everybody wants" (seek collective LP)
low-key but extremely compelling singer-songwriter ruralist moves with nice pedal steel in spots. somewhere between tom wanderer and barry walker, this one grows like a beard.

so long donna godchaux.
never liked her vocals or her husband's playing or the fact they brought heroin into the dead. i only saw that line-up live once, but it was a boogiefied ordeal. apart from the "seastones" break between sets.
now she and elvis can shit on matching golden toilets. finally.
