« Watercooler Wednesday: A funny thing happened on the way to the thinktank | Main | Remembering Jeff Healey »
Nigel, our tour pastor has been staying with us the last couple of days. And last night I told him that we'd been having a coyote problem as of late (which we have!). He laughed and said that you would never risk hearing anyone in Wales say that. It spurred him on to create this humorous post. Funny stuff...

Listed below are links to weblogs that reference 10 things you'd hear in Atlanta, but not Cardiff:
R.E.M.: Accelerate CD/DVD
Athens' own return with a trashy cool offering - their most consistent album in years. I think they're mad at their dad or something (****)
The Rolling Stones: Shine a Light: Original Soundtrack
This is what a live album SHOULD sound like. Unedited, unfixed - just a good recording of what happened that night... (****)
Mudcrutch: Mudcrutch
Tom Petty and Mike Campbell reunite with their old band and forge an instant classic. (****)
Counting Crows: Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings
It was pretty gutsy to lay it out the way they did: all the rockers on the "Saturday Night" section and all the ballads on the "Sunday Morning" side. But it works, and in a major way. Some of the best guitar work I've heard in recent memory. (*****)
The Black Crowes: The Lost Crowes
WHY DIDN'T ANYBODY TELL ME ABOUT THIS RECORD?! You've heard most of these songs on other records, but it's just so raw and band-y here. Fall in love with the best band in the world all over again... (*****)
Pillar: For The Love Of The Game
So far this is the album to beat for the rock album of 2008 in the Christian market... The title track has kind of been my "theme song" the last couple of months. (*****)
Maylene and the Sons of Disaster: II
The perfect blend of Southern rock and metal - this is my favorite album right now. (*****)
Kevn Kinney: Broken Hearts & Auto Parts
I picked this up in Athens the other day. It starts out a little slow, but turns into vintage Kevn Kinney/Drivin n Cryin. This is as good as anything he/they have ever put out! (****)
The Black Crowes: Warpaint
If you look up "killer" in the dictionary, you will find a picture of these guys.
Baroness: Red Album
So far the most original and inspiring music I've heard this year... (*****)
Down: Down - Over The Under
This is easily the most rockin' records I've ever owned. It's like redneck Soundgarden. Heaven for a dude like me... (*****)
Demon Hunter: Storm the Gates of Hell
Don't let the "metalcore" label fool you. This album features some of the biggest and hookiest choruses you'll ever hear. "Lead Us Home", "Carry Me Down", and "Thorns" are great examples. Plus I think they'll give you your money back if the title track doesn't make your ears bleed :) (*****)
Hahaha... we used to have a racoon around here when I first moved in. I think it was the critter that would take apples from our tree in the backyard, take one bite and throw them down. I think the neighbor across the street would trap them and relocate them into a less populated area. I haven't seen any evidence recenlty.
I have to admit, Corrine's comment got the biggest laugh from me, though. That was a good one! LOL

"Gonna set me a raccoon trap."
Haven't heard that one yet....

I just posted these Welsh-isms (or proverbs) over on Nigel's blog, see what you think......
Reason is the wise man's guide, example the fool's.
Three remedies of the physicians of Myddfal: water, honey, and labour.
Three things it is best to avoid: a strange dog, a flood, and a man who thinks he is wise.
Without perseverance talent is a barren bed.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm?!!

You should buy a Lewis Grizzard book for Nigel. I think he would love it.
