Club Schmitz Review Website

I felt that we have been mysteriously silent on the subject of an oldie but a goodie, Club Schmitz.

If you are or were a student at University of Dallas and you haven’t been to the “(pre-)historic” Club Schmitz, then you are missing out on a big UD tradition and committing a double bad naughty.  This place has been around since before the school and the only thing that is different is that they put in a TV and kickass Golf Arcade Game.  Here’s a good website that puts it all in perspective for you.

Make sure that you go with friends, lots of friends; or maybe you just want a beer by yourself; either way, Club Schmitz is a great place to:

have a birthday party
film a movie about love, intrigue, drinking, and a vampire pimp and Socrates (John Sercer)
eat delicious fried bar food and drink pitchers of beer
meet babes
go to for a unintended but badly needed study break
take a girl on a first date
go to with Fr. McGuire

All of these are things that I have either done myself or Misko has done.

Get thee to Schmitz!

Sweetly,

Peter

Album Review: dave rawlings machine a friend of a friend

Acony Records is proud to announce the November 17 release of the Dave Rawlings Machine record,A Friend Of A Friend. The album features members of Old Crow Medicine Show, Benmont Tench from the Heartbreakers, Karl Himmel, Nate Walcott of Bright Eyes, and of course, Gillian Welch (from Gillian Welch’s Website).

The new album produced by David Rawlings by the band dave rawlings machine titled “a friend of a friend” is sensational.  The majority of the tracks are written by David Rawlings and Gillian Welch and performed by those two as well as musical guests Ketch Secor, Willie Watson, the rest of the Old Crow Medicine Show gang, and many others.  

The album features songs such as ‘To Be Young’ (originally co-written by Ryan Adams and Dave Rawlings) and Old Crow’s ‘I Hear Them All.’

There is a great coming together of talent on this album, and I highly recommend it if you are a fan of Old Crow, Gillian Welch, Ryan Adams, Allison Kraus, Norah Jones, the Wallflowers, and Emmylou Harris, all of which Dave Rawlings has played with and inspired.

Dave Rawlings is the magic-folk-bluegrass-rock;n’roll-man behind the scenes in all these bands.  He found and inspired and backed many of these artists.
