Two great podcasts that may be of interests to some here. Jason Isbell & Patterson Hood. http://www.wtfpod.com/podcast/episodes/episode_482_-_jason_isbell http://www.wtfpod.com/podcast/episodes/episode_483_-_patterson_hood Thanks for the reminder. I've been made aware of these but have yet to l...

I was never the world's biggest Nirvana fan but there was something downright eerie about their Unplugged performance and this song in particular. There's a very good reason for that (see quote below). This episode of Unplugged is probably my favorite thing of theirs that they ever did and this epis...

From a piece Rolling Stone writer Rob Sheffield has penned in the wake of Letterman announcing his retirement: "The fact that R.E.M.'s Mike Mills broke the news is brilliant in itself, since R.E.M.'s historic 1983 Letterman performance helped make both their reputations. I refuse to believe Dav...

John Prine "Blue Umbrella"
Ryan Adams "September"
Curtis Gordon "Draggin'"
The Connells "OT2"
The Moody Blues "Sitting at the Wheel"

A taste of the new James McMurtry album which is due this fall.

That is so awesome that he gets all those gigs and still has time to sit back up for a pal. [smilie=gt-happyup.gif] Those aren't "gigs" anymore than he's a "random backup musician" for Joseph Arthur. Mills is a member of The Baseball Project, as well as a member of the touring b...

Mike Mills, with nothing but spare time on his hands performing with The Baseball Project during SXSW in Austin last month. 6GshnnVbJzw "Random backup musician" Mike Mills and Marilyn Carino performing the classic "I'm Your Puppet" at the Artists’ Pay for Radio Play concert put o...

And you are correct, I was not rude or insulting to you but you apparently feel the need to be so to me. Because you have continued to show in reference to Mike Mills and R.E.M. that you haven't a clue as to what you are talking about. In one breath you said that R.E.M. hadn't been popular in 20 ye...

Well let's just say he's "sitting in" if that makes you feel better. :lol: And I'm fully aware that REM's last album topped the charts. So did One Direction's. :lol: Music is so subjective, you know? Evidently you were completely unaware that Collapse Into Now topped the charts in 2011 or...

Does anyone remember back in the early days of SNL Paul used do do a hilarious Don Kirschner impression? Heck, does anyone even remember Don Kirschner's rock concert? That's what I would like to see, instead of another late night talk show, we have plenty of those as it is. Shaffer as Don Kirshner ...

Ronstadt can’t attend Rock Hall induction

He's not headlining. And he's not doing the whole tour with Joseph Arthur. Therefore, he's a back up musician. :lol: And he states in the video that he did it since some audience member would have anyway. I have no idea how Dave feels about it. I just said I thought it was rude. Which drove you to ...

I've always like the "it's best to leave your audience wanting more" approach but this strip just won't go away.

How do any of these videos negate the fact that this musician from a band that was popular a couple of decades ago, who is backing up Letterman's musical guest, took it upon himself to announce Dave's retirement? Which I thought was rude? R.E.M. were popular as recently as 2011 when they released t...

Now infamous clip from Dave's initial reign on NBC when the show was much edgier.

"Random backup musician" Mike Mills with R.E.M. on Letterman in 1983:




...and, with international superstar and household name Joseph Arthur in 2014:

R.E.M.'s Mike Mills Explains Leaking David Letterman's Retirement
Also, watch late night host's announcement

And random in that he was not the musical guest but rather a backing up the, you know, actual headlining musical guest. I dare say that Mike Mills of R.E.M. is far more well known than Joseph Arthur, the musician who's band he's guesting with tonight (along with Peter Buck, also of R.E.M.) which ma...

Have to wonder if he appreciated some rando backup musician for his musical guest tweeting out such big news before he even had the opportunity to issue a formal announcement himself. Seems kind of rude. I'd hardly consider Mike Mills "some rando (?) backup musician" as he was a member of...
