Oozing a grateful ora, massaging the creative mind.
The great Ryan Adams redemption show. Gave him a shot after a chance encounter with a listener at a party in West Auckland. Played two songs. Still don't like him. Like MJ Lenderman though, so played him and like the track listing on my new shiny record of Neil Young and Crazy Horse 'Dume' - a repackage with exciting bonus tracks of Zuma from 1975, so played a version of Powderfinger you won't have heard. Played the Beyonce country song too - and liked that. Like the new Hurrah for the Riff Raff too. But Ryan's back in the naughty corner for eternity. I tried.
