A Few Notes From The Underground

"Art is the perpetual motion of illusion. The highest purpose of art is to inspire. What else can you do for anyone but inspire them?"
--Bob Dylan
I'm still reeling from interviewing Jim Dickinson, Luther Dickinson, Todd Nance and James McMurtry in the last few weeks. The McMurtry interview will be up in time to coincide with his April release, Just Us Kids. Many stories on the horizon...we're just getting started.
Anyone have a perspective on the upcoming race for President? Just asking...
This evening I thought I'd put up a chapter from a novel I wrote a decade ago called Brother To Jackals. It's a mean tale not intended for the weak-hearted. In ten days or so I'll put up a few more chapters.
I'll be doing some baseball bits as the season begins with a couple special guests to add to the fun. Other upcoming news includes the latest activities of Paul Hemphill, Stanley Booth, Sam Shepard, T-Bone Burnett, STAX, Dust To Digital, jukebox chronicles, wayfaring adventures, Willie Nelson, the American farmer, Bob Hardy's new book on Townes Van Zandt, more reviews and the latest leg of the Never Ending Soul Food Tour to name a few things off the top of my head.
When Paul Hemphill told me he never though he'd live to see the death of the newspaper, he wasn't kidding. With the folding of various publications due to a strained economy, changing times and cultural transitions Swampland intends to fill a void these outlets leave behind with inimitable storytelling and clear perspective on activity at the street level. The only intention is to inspire...

Timepiece that are too much ahead of their time would not come from a tradition manufacture. A Breitling watches has a long and rich history. And there are many experienced Louis Vuitton watches manufacturers in the world. Most of them are from Swiss. Today, replica Breguet manufacturers of Japan, America, British, Russia and other countries are also famous all over the world. Such Bell & Ross replica have history on their back, and concern matters like Tag Heuer watches. When Patek Philippe Cal 96, the first replica Christian Dior , launched in 1932, the world realized that replica Montblanc was the way to go. The follow decades were characterized by the development and perfection of different replica Cartier , and the improvement in quality of the tiny Jaquet droz watches movements. This golden age came to an abrupt end in 1969, and the dark age lasted until 1985. Yet the very essence of replica chopard has changed to Maurice Lacroix for sale or Piaget replica. As computer technology is set to replace manual watchmaking step by step, Longines for sale' future getting uncertain. The materials used in Christian Dior watches, indeed, have been in place for almost 200 years. It is not true that anything has to be replaced after it is used for a long time, yet the development of Bvlgari watches is a precess of continual trial. Uncertainty should never be an excuse against innovation. Since 2000, various new materials have been applied by the Maurice Lacroix replica, achieving success and recognition to a certain degree. It is well known that the replica IWC , Panerai for sale and replica Tag Heuer have joined hands in a project that explored the possibility of using silicon. Breguet, a Smovado for sale's brand, as well as Patek, have since then rolled out pieces with silicon parts in the escapement namely pallet, Alain Silberstein watches and Baume & Mercier watches. Since August 2009, U-boat for sale have started to use silicon hairspring on all basic models. Hermes watches, on the other hand, believe that the new alloy they developed on their own is a more advanced material, and thus have used it for the replica Graham . With Swiss patent no. 706279, the brand, understandably, do not reveal the composition of the alloy. Yet we know by now it mainly comprises niobium and also includes non-iron materials like Alain Silberstein replica so as to achieve similar anti-magnetic effects as silicon. As we enter 2010, the competition of Montblanc replica brands is set to return to full swing. As the economy shows signs of Cartier replica, they could no longer be patient like during the financial tsunami. They are to rush to unveil novelties so as to fight for Graham replica, and to win move market share. In early December, Cartier invited press worldwide to their manufactory in La Chaux-de-Fonds to see their 2010 SIHH novelties, unveiling the replica Piaget .According to the brand, ID means innovation and Panerai replica. The piece stands out since no matter inside or out, it has applied new material of movado replica. The piece has a 46mm "Ballon Bleu"(Blue Balloon) casing in niobium-titanium which, on top of a special sheen, offers remarkable anti-shock and anti-corrosion capacity. Somebody raised doubt on the raison d'etat of this new DeWitt watches, since its hardness and composition is similar to Grade 5 titanium. The technical staff at Cartier replied that niobium not just has better anti-magnetic capacity but is non-allergic.It is used on top-grade surgical tools. The 16?-ligne movement is revealed by the transparent dial and case back. Like the casing it also features stunning innovations. After refined polishing, the Hermes replica and Breitling for sale are ADLC blackened. Unlike the common chromium plating or replica Ferrari , replica Franck Muller involves crystalline diamond-like materials being coated on a metallic surface. The baseplate and bridges, as a result, would render a surface hardness and smoothness like the diamond. Together with ADLC coated balance pinion, there would be no wear-and-tear in operation, thus rendering no needs for lubrication and even Graham for sale. In the past, "no-jewel" was the equivalent to low-grade movement, used only on "IWC replica for students". 30 to 40 jewel were common for a good calibre, and a funny piece even had 99 jewels. In existence for 200 years, jewel may, once again like pocket replica croum , become history due to Cartier.

replica Hublot and replica Bvlgari were suddenly provided with high fashion style for replica Alain Silberstein from a reliable brand. This Breguet watches has been one of the most successful of recent years. Essentially the model that they have created is eminently effective marketing actually backed up by replica Breguet watches product at a good price. They are ticking all the boxes and this replica Rolex Day-Date II creates a substantial amount of work but allows for continual reassessment and innovation. Practical Management One of the essential elements of Rado replica watches is a quick turn around on products. The lead time for a new replica Croum watches is only 3 months, so their 'cool hunters' can capitalise on a trend within a relatively short time. They also have product launches every six months to Vacheron Constantin replica watches. This is a logistic nightmare. But thanks to a precise stock system, based upon perceptive use of market research and advertising strategies Rolex Day Date watches have one of the lower waiting times for delivery in the replica IWC sector. This has come to be essential in a market based upon rapidly changing fashions. At any time they have approximately 1 million Franck Muller replica in stock, yet aim to sell 600,000-700,000 of this stock within Rolex Yachtmaster replica. In addition to this they will also label products for individual retailers based on their replica Hermes watches rather than replica Rolex Explorer watches. This further enables a speedy transition to the shop shelf. Franck Muller replica watches The most visible and therefore the most important element of their Bell & Ross watches is brand representation. In 2006 they had a marketing budget of £1.6 million, this increased to £1.9 million in 2007. A significant outlay which has yielded impressive results. This Tag Heuer watches is in part spent on traditional magazine advertising including features in Heat, OK, Alain Silberstein replica, Nuts and Zoo. But they have embraced new advertising realms. Noting the prevalence of media celebrity culture they have aligned their brand with a number of Gucci watches; most recently Girls Aloud, Take That and replica Rolex GMT watches. They have also sponsored television shows with anticipated high viewing figures such as Rolex Submariner replica. One of the most notable forms this has taken is the distinctive idents placed in advertising breaks, which include a number to text for your IWC watches. During the program “Cartier watches' they received 1500 texts, the highest number ever recorded for this type of Baume & Mercier replica watches. Putting aside for one moment the valuable brand exposure the ads provide, Sekonda have managed to turn TV advertising into actual sales. The effect of their Rolex Submariner watches has filtered down right through the sales network. It is rarely that a customer asks for a specific Tudor replica that they have encountered through any advertising campaign. The retailer that I work for has received unprecedented numbers of enquiries about Seksy and One replica Gucci watches solely based on the effects of the TV campaigns. The Future Sekonda have entered into the travel retail market which as well as direct sales opportunities has the added benefit of replica Burberry. Customers with enough capital to travel are a captive audience for the duration of replica Patek Philippe watches.They are highly likely to browse the in-flight magazine the products are featured in even if they do not purchase anything. Other businesses have been keen to capitalize on oris replica watches.Virgin flights had Sekonda advertising running on the back cover of the summer edition of their magazine. Sekonda now sell their replica Rolex Milgauss on a number of airlines, have flagship stores at major airports and are completing a number of deals to place shops in popular replica Rolex Milgauss watches. tourist destinations and in ex-pat communities located in Dubai, Rolex Day-Date II watches, Sharm el Sheikh and South Africa. At present U.K. consumers account for approximately half of all Rolex Day-Date II replica watches.
