NineBullets.org - a DBT fansite :: View topic - BTCD Available in Warsaw, Poland:

"am in Warsaw, Poland this week for work. I train US Embassy personnel on how to use their computer applications. Walked in this one guys office to train him and he had a copy of BTCD on his desk, said he just picked it up at a local music store. After I trained him he put the cd on and I told him the story of Two Daughters and A Beautiful Wife, the entire office seemed fascinated by the story. The guy said he was a big DBT fan but he's stuck in Warsaw on assignment for 3 years. It would suck not being able to see a DBT show for 3 years. Not a lot of bands like DBT come through Poland."

HARP Exclusive: Looting the Bins with Patterson Hood:

"As Hood waxes nostalgic about the Truckers’ latest, Brighter Than Creation’s Dark, his long-time running partner and Truckers guitarist Mike Cooley appears with a mischievous grin on his face.

“This can’t be bad,” Cooley says, excitedly handing Hood a DVD copy of “Pervert!”, Jonathan Yudis's 2005 slasher skin flick starring porn star turned California gubernatorial candidate Mary Carey. “Look at the quote on the front: ‘Sex, death and gore – is this the best movie ever!’”

“Goddamn,” Hood exclaims. “What a recommendation!”"

dbts : Message: DBT's in writing:

"I'm reading a book called the 'Bright Forever' by Lee Martin. In the liner notes of this book, the author talks about how music influenced his writing of this piece of fiction, as well as helped set the tone of the book (set in the 70's)...so my, my wasn't I surprised when I read this, on page 280-1, and I quote:

(page 280) 'Finally, here are some songs that were with me as I was writing The Bright Forever, songs that evoke the characters and their story:....'

(page 281) 'Drive By Truckers - 'When the Pin Hits the Shell.' This song makes me think of Junior Mackey, of whom his son Gilley says, 'Here's what I didn't know: my father was a dangerous man. I'm not sure he knew that himself, but I can't say that I blame him. He was doing what we all do --- I'm sure of this now ---- living blind.'"

I did a whole post on the lost art of the mixed tape. September 2007 of Southshore Ramblings.

Also just drove down I-65 through all of 'bama today, JPW. Was thinking of you and DBT when I passed Highway 72 (Athens) and B'Ham.

Hell, I may of linked to that post, Jez. I seem to remember it. Send the link if you can find it and I'll put it again.

Man, you really where in my old stomping grounds. I learned to drive stoned on 72 from Florence to Athens. Ah, good times.
