Strand of Oaks and Drive-By Truckers

Thanks to the original poster and to those who've given it a bump today. I'm really digging her new album and just bought a ticket to see her in NOLA in June. She definitely seems worthy of the hype.

I'll be there.

The new album is streaming at NPR Music: http://www.npr.org/2015/03/22/393575866/first-listen-sufjan-stevens-carrie-lowell

I still need to pick this up.

Gogol Bordello

"The Wire." Excellent binge-watching material.

"Frances Ha." I think I'm in love with Greta Gerwig's character.

I just started reading it, but I think the book revisits the Pete Rose issue in the post-PED baseball world. I could be wrong but that's my guess.

I've seen all of the best picture nominees except "The Imitation Game." I actually loved "Whiplash" most and would award it the best picture Oscar. I liked "Boyhood," but "Birman" to me was just weird. It had good acting, but the story didn't really do much for me. In order (for me): 1. "Whiplash" 2. "Boyhood" 3. "Selma" 4. "Birdman" 5. "American Sniper" 6. "The Theory of Everything" 7. "The Grand Budapest Hotel"

"Pete Rose: An American Dilemma" by Kostya Kennedy

He and Spencer play on it as well.
