...what goes with cops and BBQ? A few years back Hayseed Dixie (link) wandered onto my radar. I was invited to a Wild Hog and Chili cook off with some friends and met a group of law enforcement officers who wouldn't stop playing the band's first release. On their debut album A Hillbilly Tribute to AC/DC, they do AC/DC covers bluegrass-style. They have now two other releases of rock cover tunes done up the same way. These guys can play and it's a hoot to hear "Cat Scratch Fever" on mandolin. So, With thanks from Boing Boing, for your dancing and dining pleasure, here's a Link to their website for a video of Hayseed Dixie's cover of Motorhead's punk/metal anthem "Ace of Spades," This was found as part of Boing Boing's article on "different" cover bands, Punk cover bands and Motorhead's bluegrass makeover. It's a great read! 3:21:54 PM    comment []

...podcasting? Is that what ailen fisherman do? For those of you who are still not clear on the podcasting thing, Lisa Williams put together a 4 minute tour of what it is and how to listen. Thanks to Dave Winer at Scripting News for the pointer... 2:11:32 PM    comment []
