Well, except my sister's husband. He's a good guy.

Otherwise, a town that's two miles long and two blocks wide. If you're looking for strip clubs and used-car lots, this is the place. Too bad Tom Waits didn't visit during his hobo days.

Hey, Dian Parkinson was from there.

What? The photo is nothing special, nor the layout, nor the typography. A smoking cigarette offers so many creative opportunities, but this is dull.

The cigarette isn't the point, it's secondary - it's his posture, his expression, the composition of the photo. The rumpled jacket, matching his hair, his slouching back echoing the stretched hand. The image looks very casual and natural yet very graceful and posed - tough to balance both.
The type isn't my favourite, but I like that it's in one simple sector at the top, and it's provides a clean contrast with the fluidity of the pose. The simple hit of colour is a good contrast with the black & white imagery.
But the way that hard vertical edge in the middle top and the hard horizontal edge in the lower left creates a sector for his head, hands (and cig) and isolates against the rest of the scene make the image for me.
And yet, with all this, it still looks like a casual snap-shot. Lovely work.

Nice song, but after "Lady Writer" ? Buzzkill.

Amen, brotha. It's not just you! I came here to pretty much post the same thing.

Add it to the list along with "ekspresso" and "ekspecially". I learned it all from my friend who went to ekxavier University.

although I dig his general vibe Adams is a bit hit and miss. sometimes i can't tell if he's being introspective or pretentious; Gold is still my favorite album of his.


I completely agree, and even with all the "misses" my IPod has more Ryan Adams/Whiskeytown than any other artist.

His live shows are an especially dicey proposition, but when he's on he's magic.
