Weathervanes by Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit. I’ll say he is the best songwriter working today and his songs will be covered long after he’s done. There are no fewer than 6 great songs on this album. King Of Oklahoma is my current fave and one of the saddest songs I’ve heard since 2 other Isbell songs (Elephant and If We Were Vampires)

It's sort of funny -- Alanis would have said "ironic" -- that the Rolling Stones promote a song that goes "don't get angry with me" with a video that gets me for one pretty angry.

If that gets you "pretty angry," you gotta learn to:

I find that there are more important things for me to be aggravated about.  No one is telling you to look at that video, or buy that record.

And since when have attempts to conceal our physical bodies all of a sudden become so pathetic?  People have been doing that since the beginning of time. Maybe you haven't noticed tattoos?

Thinking it over, what pisses me off about that video is that it isn't particularly about the song, and it de-ages the Stones for no reason other than not to show them as they are now.  Instead of having anything to do with the song, all the video shows is this Hot Young Woman writhing in response to The Stones -- clearly directed at an audience of Dirty Old Men who cherish the illusion that The Stones (and I guess by extension they) can still elicit such responses.  Since as The TImes pointed out today, Actual Young People barely know who The Rolling Stones are.

Also, why "Hackney Diamonds"? None of them (alive or dead) from Hackney.

The name, Jagger told the audience, is London slang for shards of glass: “It's like when you get your windscreen broken on a Saturday night in Hackney and all the bits go on the street,” he quipped.
