IT WAS A LONG DRIVE ...

But I made it to Austin. Watch this blog for SXSW coverage.

2007 IDOLATOR CRITICS POLL

Somehow between the collapse of the Richardson campaign and the start of the state Legislature, I forgot all about the Idolator music critic's poll, in which I participated.

None of the stuff I voted for did very well, (of my Top 10 albums, the highest rated on the poll was The White Strripes' Icky Thump, which was ranked 16. My #1, Gogol Bordello's Super Tranata! came in 39th.) You can see my personal ballot HERE.

About to shove off for Austin ...

STAB FROM THE PAST

My crony Mark Ducaj found some yellowed old clips including this one from Pasatiempo in late 1981, about the time I released Picnic Time For Potatoheads.

The same column, by Emily Drabanski, also mentions a gig with my brother's band at the time, Holy Cow.

(Speaking of brothers with gigs, Mark's brother, Scott Ducaj, a graduate of Santa Fe High and a fine product of the late Clark Pontsler's music program at SFHS, has been playing in country singer Kenny Chesney's band. Kenny's not the kind of stuff I play on The Santa Fe Opry, but even without my help, he recently got 11 nominations for the Academy of Country Music awards. Congrats, Scott!)

STEP ASIDE, TOM JONES

This filled my heart with joy. (Thanks, Curt!)

Can't wait to see Langford and The Waco Brothers next week.

TED IN NM

I was so busy with political stories at work yesterday, I had to pass on an opportunity to interview THE NUGE, who is in the state filming a movie.

Kate did a good job though.

Just for the heck of it, here's some classic footage of Bill Richardson's new hunting buddy:



UPDATE: The original video I posted here was yanked from YouTube. Here's the same song. Hope it lasts.

Also, one wiseguy pal of mine wrote with this question:

I wonder what Ted would say if he knew Richardson line-item vetoed $25,000 for an archery-in-the-schools program.

I wonder too.
