I picked up Buck 65‘s Talkin’ Honky Blues and A Perfect Circle‘s Thirteenth Step this afternoon.
I’ve been listening to Talkin’ Honky Blues more than the other album so far. It’s a really wonderful work. It’s Buck’s best produced album and contains some real gems. “Wicked and Weird”, “Protest”, “Roses and Bluejays”, “463”, “Tired Out” and “Craftsmanship” are my initial favourites, but I think this is an album that will become even greater as time passes. There’s a wealth of music on this disc that is hard to find anywhere these days, so I really urge you all to check it out.
More words about Thirteenth Step will be added here once I can give it a proper listen. Stay tuned.
Tonight I’ll be seeing Buck 65 in the flesh at his album release party, and there’s no doubt I’m looking forward to that. Every time I see Mr. Terfry live he improves, and surely tonight will be no exception.
Unless you take pride in what you’re doing it won’t last”

I would like to hear what you think about the new CD.
The APC one? I’ll talk about it in the next couple days… the Buck 65 one is initially way better though.
I’ll be at the Marquee tonight as well, it’s the first time i’ll (really) see him live. I saw him at edgefest, but that was pretty far back. I suspect this will be a great deal more interesting.
I heard the live CBC version of “Roses and Bluejays” and I was quite impressed… I’ll defintly have to buy this album.
I hope you had as good a time as I did… Front row center and Buck commented on my shirt… the music was great
yeah, i was pretty darned impressed
