Here are the films I have made it mandatory to check out before the end of this week, and then I will finally be able to construct my 14th Annual Fergy Film Awards.

I am going to delete the films
Ain’t No Good Thing Ever Dies
and
How To Say Goodbye
from my YouTube page tonight.
That part of my past is now officially my past. Actually, it’s even less. I don’t even remember most of it anymore.
Why is that, you ask?
Well, you see, I gave this incredible gal a ring and then asked her to marry me.
She said yes.
I have a fiancee.
I am happy.
End of past.
The Tallest Man on Earth reveals a new song, “Little Brother”, live in Africa.
A terrific article.
An astounding live rock ‘n’ roll band.
” If rock ‘n’ roll can be adult and realistic but still exciting and unpredictable, the Truckers are the embodiment of rock right now. “
Mark Kozelek: “Sunshine In Chicago” (Live)
On Friday, Caldo Verde Records detailed the new Sun Kil Moon album, Among the Leaves, said to be a decidedly impulsive display of Mark Kozelek’s “more raw and humorous side.” Armed with aptly droll song titles like “I Know It’s Pathetic But That Was The Greatest Night Of My Life,” their description sounded about right, but now comes a preview illustrating the point quite well: “Sunshine In Chicago,” a kind of stream-of-consciousness reflection written just before one Windy City gig last year.
Southern Souls shot this live footage from the Shivering Songs Festival this month, at which Kozelek premiered the smirking cut while gloriously drenched in natural reverb via Fredericton, New Brunswick’s 2-century-old Wilmot Church. Watch it after “Heron Blue” at the 5:30 mark above and stay tuned for the self-deprecating jab at his audience becoming mostly “guys with tennis shoes.”

I’m sure I have posted this song before, but it deserves it.
Love it.
