I don't want to be all purist and shit, but if that song is the one that starts "No home no home the orphan girl cried" or some such, it's a lot older than GW. Buell Kazee does a great version on his June Appal LP.

Different song.

They do an uptempo cover of GW's "Orphan Girl," and it's thrilling.

So, ogged, you already had a BwO; has Alameida been added for more equitable gender representation?

(I kid b/c I love).

I was thinking of posting a review of the new season so-far of Gilmore Girls, but now see if I even bother.

So it is. Well, the BK song is still killer.

Is liking GW girly? I would've thought it was more of a music-geek thing. I mean, she got a big publicity boost from a Coen Bros. soundtrack.

I think finding a particular bluegrass song "thrilling" is the crime. But only Tim, master and keeper of all things manly, can tell us for sure.

IRL, I may well be the girliest apparently-straight man on the planet. And you're right, it was the use of "thrilling"; tell me that doesn't sound a bit like a sentence Madeline Bassett (of Wodehouse fame) would write. And yes, I would like the GG review, Bob.

Me and Tim, peas in a pod.

Bob, there's a clip of the song available on the website, so I did listen. I'm not such a fan of bowed instruments in bluegrass, so the cello bothers me--but I can see that it's good, and why you like it. You're still a fairy for saying "thrilling" though.

"heart race" = super-manly.

Not that manly is good, necessarily.

"updated bluegrass": contradiction in terms.

What's the second part of your analogy?

You're right, she is a woman full of contradictions.

But how did you know that?

Ghoul.
