Old Crow Medicine Show - Jubilee

Fun fact: I’ve gotten really into bluegrass over the last couple of years, especially modern stuff. I love a lot of the modern country artists that include folk, Americana, and bluegrass influences, and one of the first outright bluegrass bands I ever listened to was Old Crow Medicine Show. These guys are famous for the song “Wagon Wheel,” which is partially penned by Bob Dylan. He wrote the chorus in 1973, whereas the band wrote and recorded the rest of the song in the early 00s, but Hootie & The Blowfish singer Darius Rucker put out a cover in the early 2010s that was very popular and renewed interest in the song. I don’t remember the album I first listened from OCMS, which was 2018’s Volunteer, but I do remember it being good. I didn’t listen to their last album, 2022’s Paint This Town, but I was surprised to find they released a new album this past week, entitled Jubilee.

This past week was a real home run for country, including new albums from this band, Turnpike Troubadours, and Zach Bryan, but this record is really solid. It’s nice hearing these guys again, because they’re a band that doesn’t necessary do anything out of the ordinary, but when they do release an album, it delivers in every way you’d expect. You’ve got a great mix of fun and energetic bluegrass cuts with some quieter and more introspective moments. For every song like the real fun and tongue-in-cheek track “Keel Over And Die,” you get something like “Miles Away” with original member Willie Watson, or “Allegheny Lullaby,” which is a song that talks about a character wanting to get out of the town he lives in, due to the limited opportunities for work. The album knows when to have fun, but it also has some poignant moments on it.

I was debating on writing about this album, but only because I wasn’t sure I had enough to say about this album to warrant a full review. Truth be told, there’s not much to say here, but this is a fun, catchy, well-written, and well-performed bluegrass album that has some poignant moments and a few great guest spots. Sierra Ferrell has a fun moment (she also appears on the new Zach Bryan album, coincidentally), but Mavis Staples appears on closing track “One Drop” that has a nice country gospel feel to it and ends the album on an optimistic note. This record may not necessarily blow your mind, but it’s one of those albums that works perfectly for what it is, and/or if you’re in the mood for what it has to offer. I wouldn’t say this is one of my top favorites of the year, but it’s a damn good album, nonetheless.

Album Review: Watkins Family Hour - Vol. II

With nine guests spread across 11 covers, Watkins Family Hour’s Vol. II spins like a various-artists release.

The inaccurately titled third LP from the brother-sister duo Sean and Sara Watkins (who play together in Nickel Creek; Sara is also a member of I’m with Her) is afraid of commitment. It instead swerves across the musical landscape, doing hit-and-run jobs that sometimes work - Fiona Apple on the hard country of “(Remember Me) I’m the One Who Loves You” and sometimes don’t - Madison Cunningham on Elliott Smith’s esoteric “Pitseleh.”

Jackson Browne, Benmont Tench, Willie Watson and Gaby Moreno are among the other contributors. The result is a ramshackle release ripe for song picking, but not repeat front-to-back spins.

Thursday Two or More: Couple

Carrie Alexander ... or Aunt May???

John Byrne introduced Carrie Alexander at the beginning of his 90s Namor run. She was the daughter or a marine scientist, Caleb Alexander, who theorized the infamous oxygen imbalance. Carrie was a love interest for several issues, before she broke off the relationship, because she realized how dangerous life was for Namor's lovers.

Of course I love this page, because Aunt May admits to crushing on Namor back in WWII or 1950s era, along with all her friends. LOL!

Why do schlock horror movies come out the moment something enters the public domain?

Because they're cheap and quick. The most produced movie genre is horror for a reason. I did a bit of amateur film when I was at summer camp. We'd split into teams and pick a short film project. Every year, over half of the movies would be horror. Because schlock horror is so easy.

No budget for lighting? Great, horror movies are supposed to be dark anyway. Plots? Plots are for suckers, here's some stock victims and a guy in a shitty costume, we're a go. It takes place in the modern day so no need to worry about costuming, just bring a shirt you don't mind getting blood on, and the aforementioned shitty costume. Need a location? There's always plenty of spare woods, abandoned lots and old houses to go around. It doesn't matter if your actors aren't that great, they won't have many lines aside from stock phrases like "let's split up gang" and "aaaaaah *gurgles and dies*." Throw some fake blood around and keep the jump scares coming. And we were stupid kids with a budget of 0$ and only 3 weeks (4 hours a day for three weeks) for the entire process. We still made competent horror movies? Good horror movies? God no. But the jumpscares jumpscared. And that's what's important.

Now, imagine you're a uninventive filmmaker with even a modicum of experience, budget and time. Think how easy it is to make this shit. Think how quickly they can slap something together. You know how South Park can satirize current events immediately after they occur because episodes take a such a short time to produce? Same goes for schlock horror movies.

Good, creative works need time, especially animation. Give the artists time, we'll see some truly beautiful stuff with Winnie the Pooh, Steamboat Willie, Sherlock Holmes and everything else that's made it into the public domain recently.

Song Review: Old Crow Medicine Show feat. Willie Watson - “Miles Away”

Despite a cameo from long-gone co-founder Willie Watson, “Miles Away” is a weirdly morose way to preview Jubilee, the forthcoming LP that celebrates Old Crow Medicine Show’s 25th anniversary.

Set to a maudlin arrangement, slathered in Nashville-sound strings and featuring mawkish - if universal for the over-45 set - lyrics, the song, co-written by Ketch Secor and Molly Tuttle, is doomed to the scrap heap of overwrought country weepers as the band sings:

I never got the chance to say I love you/now it all feels just a little too late/ever since just down the road turned/miles away/miles away/miles away

It’s a long way from the virtuosic and fun-loving bluegrass tracks of OCMS’ salad days. And “Miles Away” is so precious as to make the message miss its delivery mark.

Out Aug. 25, Jubilee also includes guest spots from Sierra Ferrell and Mavis Staples.

The Fulton county district attorney investigating Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia in recent weeks has weighed several potential statutes under which to charge, including solicitation to commit election fraud and conspiracy to commit election fraud, according to two people briefed on the matter.

The move by the Fulton county district attorney, Fani Willis, to identify a list of potential charges marks a major juncture in the criminal investigation and suggests prosecutors are on course to ask a grand jury to return indictments next month.

Among the state election law charges that prosecutors were examining: criminal solicitation to commit election fraud and conspiracy to commit election fraud, as well as solicitation of a public or political officer to fail to perform their duties and solicitation to destroy, deface or remove ballots, the people said.

The district attorney is also seeking to charge at least some of the Trump operatives who were involved in accessing voting machines and copying sensitive election data in Coffee county, Georgia, in January 2021 with computer trespass crimes, the two people said.

The outcome of deliberations, as well as the manner in which the statutes might be enforced, remains unknown. For instance, prosecutors could charge under certain statutes individually, fold them into a wider racketeering case of the kind that The Guardian has previously reported, or do a combination.

Prosecutors are expected to bring charges stemming from the Trump investigation at the start of August, a timeline inferred from the district attorney’s instructions to her staff in May to work remotely during that period because of potential security concerns.

The grand jury that would decide whether to return an indictment against Trump or others was selected in mid-July. The selection process was attended by Willis and two prosecutors known to be on the Trump case: the deputy district attorney Will Wooten and special prosecutor Nathan Wade.

A spokesperson for Willis did not respond to requests for comment.

For a criminal solicitation charge, prosecutors would have to show that Trump persistently requested another person to engage in certain illegal conduct that are “likely and imminent” as a result of the solicitation. The fact that the solicited acts were not carried out is not considered a defense.

The statute for soliciting a public officer to fail to perform duties could apply to Trump when he pressured the Georgia secretary of state Brad Raffensperger to “find 11,780 votes”, as well as his phone calls to chief investigator Frances Watson and House speaker David Ralston.

The threshold question there is whether Raffensperger would have failed to perform his duty as the state’s top election official if he had done what Trump wanted, according to the Brookings Institution – for instance, if he actually went and “found” 11,780 votes to reverse Trump’s loss.

The statute for soliciting the tampering of ballots, meanwhile, could apply to Trump when he pressed Watson to go beyond protocol to go back “two years, as opposed to just checking, you know, one against the other” in conducting signature checks during ballot audits.

The critical issue in that call would come down to whether Trump was effectively asking Watson to use a non-standard method to invalidate legitimate ballots that he hoped would benefit him because it would whittle down the number of legitimate votes for Joe Biden, Brookings found.

Prosecutors are also expected to seek a criminal conspiracy charge, the people said. The conspiracy statute in Georgia is interpreted broadly, and the district attorney’s office would only need to show that two or more people tacitly came to a mutual understanding to further a crime.

Trump could have wide legal exposure under the conspiracy statute with prosecutors for months investigating whether Trump, his top lawyers and his campaign aides took steps they knew were illegal in replacing the legitimate slates of electors in Georgia with 16 fake Trump electors.

The district attorney’s office has spent more than two years investigating whether Trump and his allies interfered in the 2020 election in Georgia, while prosecutors at the federal level are scrutinizing Trump’s efforts to reverse his defeat that culminated in the January 6 Capitol attack.

A special grand jury in Atlanta that heard evidence for roughly seven months recommended charges for more than a dozen people including the former president himself, its forewoman strongly suggested in interviews, though Willis will have to seek indictments from a regular grand jury.

Willis originally suggested charging decisions were “imminent” in January, but the timetable has been repeatedly delayed after a number of Republicans who sought to help Trump stay in power as so-called fake electors accepted immunity deals as the investigation neared its end.
