You know I loves me some Todd Snider, and it looks like Tinsel & Rot was introduced to him the same moment I was in 1996, when PBS aired his Austin City Limits show. I also remember seeing him play Oh Boy! with Joe Ely on some show that was hosted by Tom Luke Duke Wopat...wtf that was, I have no idea. I went on to wear the fuck outta that album, although I've curiously listened to nothing of his since. But I still love that record.
Mostly, thinking about it remembers of an odd stretch in Oxford when PBS seemed to play on a continuous loop:
A Hard Day's Night
The Making of A Hard Day's Night
Help!
The Red Green Show
The Steven Banks Show - featuring one of my favorite all-time television movements, his song I Miss Paul. An incredible mix of comedy ("No one could make a pot of tea like Paul could") and poignancy ("I wish we were back in Liverpool.") Super super slice.
Skip ahead to the 5:00 mark for the song.
