Never mind the bollocks here's Ryan Adams! Hit Ry's Cardinal Radio to hear twelve new, thrashy tracks from what (we assume) is one of the seven records he'll be releasing this year. Sounds like a jacked-up Whiskeytown!
The album (and the odd track) is introduced by Chuck Norris audio clips, peppered with rooster crows, and is all about pills and liquor (something about being punk, we think) -- and the first three tracks are strongest. "Track 2" is an ode to controlled substances, with Walker Ranger enumerating a list of party favors before Ryan screams, "You can't make us go to jail if we take a bunch of pills!" (It also has a reference to"watching Kiera Knightly on the Late Show ... watching Kiera Knightly interviewed on the Late Show," which we remember him going on about at Bowery.) And "Track 3" is the best one-minute song you'll hear all day. (We promise.)
Is he a convincing punk? Better question: Where to next, Ryan? We're giving in. It's sorta fun to watch him try on all of these outfits. Just please, keep him away from the eyeliner. And if anyone has some stream-ripping skills, send us MP3s!
UPDATE: WTF! Is he writing songs as we post?! Appears there's 36 tracks up there now. Should be a few hundred by lunch time.
