Something in the sewage water in Louisville, KY. Over the years, Drag City has slurped from many a scummy drain down there to bring you the tastiest bits of musical nastiness, none more exciting than The Endtables EP, a balls-out punk record by a band making the Louisville scene back in the late 70s. The jams hadn't been available for 30 years prior to it's re-release on Drag City, and now, as if that wasn't exciting enough, you have the incredible opportunity to see the... (read more)

Dang, this Have One On Me crew just keeps on hustlin' into the epoch of the Drag City journey! Clearly, Joanna Newsom must be working within her own structure of time, outside of the identifiable hours we know and refer to in terms of morning, afternoon, and night.
