Blame Willie's Roadhouse on SXM


I mean they keep finding me originals or covers I've never heard of, and when looking into it, sometimes I find surprising things, like the fact that this, what I would call the definitive version of the song, is a cover.

Apparently it was originally written by Townes Van Zandt and released on his 1972 album, and over by Emmylou Harris, the version I was introduced to today, and others, with this version obviously being the best known. And technically it's not about Pancho Villa, that's just a coincidence according to Townes, in fact the original spelling was Poncho and Lefty, with different printings of the Nelson & Haggard version having different spellings, sometimes with differences between the record, record sleeve and liner notes.

What's to say about this? Just a good song well sung.

@Nick @ The Linux Experiment Have you seen Firedragon? I gotta get mine set up still, but it looks interesting, it's a fork of Floorp from Garuda.

Yeah, before it was easier to tell but now it is getting more difficult without careful scrutinization.


There's no sign of me stopping

Reform UK candidate who called Hitler 'brilliant' in charge of vetting


A former #Reform #UK candidate who described Adolf #Hitler as β€œbrilliant” at inspiring people is now in charge of the party’s vetting process, reports say.

Jack Aaron’s comments, in which he also claimed Vladimir #Putin’s use of force in #Ukraine was β€œlegitimate”, came to light last year when he stood for #ReformUK in the Welwyn Hatfield constituency in the General Election.

Despite the scandal, Aaron is now said to be head of vetting for Reform UK.

His role will include studying prospective candidates' social media outputs and advising them on what should be deleted.

Forgot to mention


That I decided to create a playlist with all the cover songs I'm sharing this month.

youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfO…

So far, half way into the month, I've run entirely off of covers I remember, songs I've heard on the radio, and YouTube suggestions, with no repeating of artists or songs. Today I finally had to resort to looking at my collection to jog my memory or find songs.

So, for any that haven't been keeping up, have some #music



Band wasn't a hard choice


Nor really was the song. While they've done plenty of awesome covers and I could've chosen any one, this one is likely my favorite video, just a really cool sci-fi piece that really changes the song.
