Joe Hill’s book Horns
It seems like I always stumble across Joe Hill’s writing in a time of desperate need for something to read. Most recently was when I was on tour and searching up and down for a good bookstore. Just as I’d given up and decided no one reads in San Diego, we found a little indie bookstore and Horns jumped at me off one of the shelves.
I didn’t even want to play the show that night because I couldn’t stop reading it. It set the mood for the rest of the trip, and while that may not have been a good thing, it was cool as fuck. That’s what Joe Hill is: cool as fuck. I will read anything he puts out.

Lydia Loveless on her new album: Indestructible Machine
Sometimes bad habits, like drinking too much, can make you feel invincible and cause you to forget that you’re doing severe damage to yourself. Indestructible Machine was a poem I wrote with that in mind and it summed up the way I was feeling and tied all the songs together. Read more
The Village Idiot in Maumee, Ohio
Seems like everywhere I go, someone says: ‘There’s nothinnngggg to dooo in Ohioooo’. Well, there is, kids. Now, I didn’t know there was anything to do in Maumee, Ohio. In fact, I’d never heard of it until I played at the Village Idiot there a few months ago and had one of the gooiest, chewiest, thin-crustiest, sausagiest pizzas I have ever had in my life. Read more
The Carper Family play O Brother live in Austin
I was lucky enough to play with these girls at the Empty Glass in Charleston, West Virginia, last month. Their songs truly make you want to cry in your beer, or dance in your cowboy boots, or sit on the porch and chew grass, or whatever people say about bluegrass. I’m pretty sure Melissa Carper could sing that Great Green Gobs of Greasy Grimey Gofer Guts song and the heartbreaking softness of her voice would still show through.

Fashion blogger Tavi is biting, witty, articulate, and stylish for any age. The fact that she’s only twelve makes her kind of over-the-top amazing. Already an accomplished photographer and astute critic of all things wearable, the sarcastic pre-teen is probably sick of being described as precocious, but she’s the very definition of the word.
I had the pleasure of seeing Duran Duran play a few weeks back in the balmy drizzle of New York’s Central Park. I always thought the guys had more cheek than they were ever given credit for. But don’t be fooled! For a band so rooted in the immediacy of disposable pop, they wrote some timeless songs, none more so than The Chauffeur.
