Bio Press News Dates Ordering Lyrics Management Scrapbook Links Home

As a convenience, we've rated our links utilizing the international standard - the piglet scale. Some great causes have mediocre sites, and some sites are better than their subjects. Needless to say, we weigh these considerations extremely carefully before assigning a piglet.

	1 PIGLET: Not so much a link as a patty. A big log of Jimmy Dean Pork Sausage.
	2 PIGLETS: Smoky-linkesque
	3 PIGLETS: A robust link - slightly crunchy, sweetly spiced. Tantalizing.

SMG Records

Shawn Mullins has his own record label, SMG Records, and before he got signed to Columbia, he put out all his own records. Now his label signs the occasional artist, most recently Josh Joplin Band, whose latest record "Useful Music" is really wonderful. If you're a Shawn Mullins fan there are lots of links to other related sites, and watch for more SMG records coming soon. Thanks to Chad and Shawn and Kelly for their resources and support and generally for sticking up for the little guy.

Daemon Records

Daemon Records is a not-for-profit indie record label founded by Indigo Girl Amy Ray (poor Amy... it's like "Motorist Rodney King"). Celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, Daemon is a bright light in the otherwise dismal music business. They have been a great resource for us and they do good work for the right reasons, which (let me wipe away this tear) REALLY ROCKS. Check out Daemon's great roster of bands, downloadable radio show, commentary, etc. Our hats, if not the rest of our outfits, go off to the women of Daemon.

Flat Earth Records

We are now Flat Earth Recording Artists, so we can only say good things about the label. We used to say good things because we meant it, but now that's irrelevant. We're obligated. If you work for Flat Earth and you're reading this, remember that we love you. We honestly love you.

Mysteries of Life

We love the Mysteries of Life. They rock really hard in an unorthadox way - lots of rhythm, beautiful melodies and smart songwriting. Of course, the Gentle Readers endorsement means you are doomed to never ever sell any records. Sorry.

United States Three

This band makes really nice, crafted little records which are just really cool. They're also on Flat Earth Records.

Vulgar Boatman

Susan used to be in this band. When the planets are properly aligned, the Vulgar Boatmen are the best band to ever play rock and roll music.

Legendary Stardust Cowboy

If you don't know the story of the Ledge, a friend of ours made a documentary about him, but can't release it because footage from "Laugh-In" is critical to the movie and THEY won't let him use it. The next best thing, though, is this web site.

Miss Diana's House of Chicken

Record reviews and news by Diana Mercer, who once wrote this in an e-mail message to Lee: An attorney friend today said, "do you smoke" and I said "not anymore" and she said "Well I do and I really really like it!" She also told me her catholic mother asked her what she gave up for Lent and she said "Ma, I gave up suffering for Lent!" Needless to say, her mother wasn't very happy.

Duh.

Corner Compact Disc

Atlanta is blessed with several fine independent record stores, of which Corner Compact Disc is by far the cleanest. The people who work there are really nice too. It's highly unlikely they'll make you feel guilty about buying Sarah McLaughlin instead of the Grifters (we can discuss the implications of this later). They've done nice things for us for no good reason, and so we hold them in high esteem.
