Sounds great!

Thanks, that has been updated.

Amasa Hines has been added to the lineup for the Mason Mauldin Scholarship Benefit Show.
Re: “Argenta Film Series screens 'Warrior Champions'”
I hate that I will be out of town for Shonen Knife. If you don't enjoy their live show, you are a bad person.
Re: “Nada Surf to Juanita's”
Hey!Thank you for letting me know about the show. I was wondering if anyone from ArkTimes or another outlet got footage from the Nada Surf show at Juanita's. I was there(andso was my mom- for the first hour) and it was amazing. They really sprinkled some magic in the air that night. Their new cd is to die for and I really hope they come back. My mom recently moved back to the ark after 40 plus years in san francisco and I have been trying to help her get settled (in hot springs :( ) but I have really been missing the live music (and people my age and public transportation-i don't drive) so when I saw your article I looked for a bus to take me to LR to see them but there was none so I begged her to come down to little rock. This was the best night ever for me since coming to arkansas. And Juanitas is a gem.
Thankyou
thankyou
thankyou.
Re: “Racing season wraps up with Arkansas Derby”
I'm more excited about Cymbals Eat Guitars, since I think everything Tim Kasher has done since The Ugly Organ (save for a handful of songs on Happy Hollow) has been garbage. But, judging from the show I saw about two years back, and recent setlists, it looks like they still realize Ugly Organ was their best and play more songs from it than any other album, usually including their newest one. Maybe they need a new cello player.
Re: “Lalah Hathaway to Cajun's Wharf”
I really enjoyed Lalah's performance and her opening acts. I wasn't very happy having to stand for about 2.5-3 hours. All in all, I enjoyed myself. Had I known I'd be standing the whole time, I would have worn flat shoes.
Re: “Cornbread Festival comes to Main Street”
Dead Meadow finally comes back to these parts, and in Little Rock at that, and it has to be during Fun Fun Fun Fest weekend.
Re: “Night at the Speakeasy, Arkansas State Fair, Todd Snider”
A joke usually has a punch line, this was just mean. And he put on a great show.
Re: “Night at the Speakeasy, Arkansas State Fair, Todd Snider”
What a humorless bunch! That write-up is hilarious. I can see maybe why y'all haven't noticed that Carl's been making fun of you to outside audiences - not sure if you would recognize a joke if it jumped up and bit you in the ass.
Re: “Night at the Speakeasy, Arkansas State Fair, Todd Snider”
Erik, one can only hope, otherwise I may have to stop reading the Times!
Re: “Night at the Speakeasy, Arkansas State Fair, Todd Snider”
Hayes did marry a woman from Conway, and he has a huge following in Little Rock and Conway, you should go see him at Sticky Fingers in Little Rock. Bell Robert this was a very poor attempt at an article, you failed at humor in it.
Re: “Night at the Speakeasy, Arkansas State Fair, Todd Snider”
Hi guys. So, just to solve any confusion caused by my attempt at satire, I'll try to clarify a few things.
First: I know his name is Hayes Carll, not Carl Hays, and that he went to Hendrix, not Texas A&M.
Second: Hayes and I are not acquainted.
Third: It seems that Hayes values humor. When I saw him play in Texas a couple of years ago, he told funny stories and cracked jokes between songs. When asked about why he’d named his album “Little Rock,” he said that he went to college in Arkansas and that yes, they do actually have colleges in Arkansas. That got big laughs from the Texas crowd. He said that Arkansans just don’t have much self-esteem and that you can’t even buy premium gas up there. Again, big Texas laughs.
There are clips online (and linked on Rock Candy) of him telling those same jokes and talking about how he’s “trying to raise the profile of Arkansas music, with limited success.” He’s from Texas, and he loves Texas and he can poke fun at Arkansas. And that’s fine. I live in Arkansas and I love Arkansas and I can poke fun at Hayes Carll. And that’s fine too, though my endeavors seem to have fallen very flat.
Re: “Night at the Speakeasy, Arkansas State Fair, Todd Snider”
It would have been funny if it was a college buddy, but there should have been a mention of it.
Re: “Night at the Speakeasy, Arkansas State Fair, Todd Snider”
I definitely thought that this piece could be tongue in cheek, but it's certainly not obvious and you kind of have to be obvious with that kind of stuff for it to come out in print. If not, it causes confusion and looks bad on the publication and that's what has happened here.
Re: “Night at the Speakeasy, Arkansas State Fair, Todd Snider”
One has to think that it is completely tongue in cheek. For some reason, I have a gut feeling that it is one of Hayes' college buddies that wrote the review. If not, shame on the times.
Re: “Night at the Speakeasy, Arkansas State Fair, Todd Snider”
I kept waiting for the punch line in the Hayes Carll write up. Pretty worthless and inaccurate stuff.. Hopefully nobody takes what you have to say to heart and passes up what will be a hell of a show.
Re: “Night at the Speakeasy, Arkansas State Fair, Todd Snider”
Wow that was some great writing about Hayes, where did you go to school? A Hole U.
Re: “Night at the Speakeasy, Arkansas State Fair, Todd Snider”
If Saturday's "to do" is see Hayes Carll, why would you publish a blurb about this show without any facts. Hayes is a great guy that graduated from Hendrix College and has family in Conway.

Re: “J. Roddy Walston & the Business at Stickyz”
I'm not going to any of these events, but I very much enjoyed the lively descriptions. I don't know, maybe I'll go grab a bird tote bag. Thanks, R.B.
