Martin Sexton, ‘Hallelujah’

12 November 2007

Absolutely loving Black Sheep and Wonder Bar, and I’ve already ordered two more of his albums: In the Journey and The American. I may have missed out on years of listening enjoyment, but now I get to experience it all for the first time. Woo Hoo!

I read some of the comments on Amazon about Black Sheep, and see that lots of squares like me first discovered Sexton by hearing “Diner” on Scrubs. At least one nimrod complained because every song on the album wasn’t just like “Diner.” Oh, man. It’s so sad that this philistine was given the opportunity to enjoy such emotional and powerful music, but failed to appreciate it. Not that everyone should feel the same way about his music, but to me this stuff is amazing. It’s true, and it’s real. (Dude!)

(You can get another live version of Hallelujah, from Live Wide Open, as an Amazon mp3 download.)

What in the blue hell happened to the site? It looks like the bad old days when NCSA Mosaic 1.0 had just been released — no layout tables, precious little graphics…

Oops! Sorry about that. I got my .htaccess files mixed up this morning before leaving for work, and didn’t realize it/didn’t have a chance to fix until now.

Hate to tell you this, but it’s still screwed up looking…

I’m pretty sure it should be ok now. (Other than the normal lameness.) I wonder if you have something cached (or not cached) in your browser? If you’re using Firefox, and maybe others, try holding down SHIFT while clicking on the refresh.

It seems to be fixed as of Nov. 20.
