It's been, what, a month since I posted any? Round two (ding!) I read something today which sounds molto interessante: 'First record is getting mixed and mastered while we are on the road. Its the first of three.

Its called ' Blackhole'. Johnny on drums, me on everythinbg else. Lots of raw guitar and kinda sexy/ damaged tunes. My favorite easily.' Sexy + damaged + Ryan Adams = some of my favorite songs in the world (Exhibit A: album, tracks like 'Hotel Chelsea Nights' & 'My Blue Manhattan').

I can't wait for this Blackhole business. Anyway, here is a great old interview from SPIN with Ryan (if you've never gotten into him). It is a fascinating, layered, textured look at a complicated musician during his Love is Hell / era. For those who stick to it until the end, there is a related bonus song goodie. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Who The F**k Is Ryan Adams?

What is on the Black Hole album? Ryan Adams Discussion. 20:20 was a planned box set release by singer-songwriter Ryan Adams, rumored to have a scheduled release in late 2007. Adams stated that the box set would include albums that he 'really wanted to be records.' According to Adams, the box set was to include five unreleased albums: The Suicide Handbook, 48 Hours, Pink Hearts, Darkbreaker and Black Hole. Jun 29, 2013 - This 7' single was sent to fans that pre-ordered Ryan Adams' second book of poetry - Hello Sunshine. On October 15th, a new Glyn Johns produced album from Ryan Adams was listed. The recording of Blackhole began in 2005, and Ryan has often described it as Love is Hell meets the Strokes.

Leaving our faded, yellow hotel -- a former livery stable with hanging gardens, a goldfish pond, and circling bugs the size of small birds -- we head down Marigny Street into “the Quarter,” New Orleans’ combination tourist trap/alcohol-fortified tar pit full of “one-legged fucking pirates and shamans and con artists,” as our guide, Ryan Adams, describes it. This can be a dangerous place, but especially so for a rock star at a personal and creative crossroads. Download Crack Cyberlink Power Dvd 7.

Too many distractions. At the moment, the distractions are benign: eggs and salmon. Adams pulls up the collar of his peacoat to ward off the early-April chill.

His unruly black hair is hidden under a porkpie hat. We stride through the streets toward a cafe he spied the night before. 'Look at the sky -- it's calico,' he muses. It's easy to see why poet Ryan (one of his several personalities) is here, bunking in a cheap room on the outskirts of town. He's always been this way.

Put him in any major city and he'll scout the perfect black-and-white postcard location inside an hour. 'When I'm in New York, I just want to walk down the street and feel this thing, like I'm in a movie,' he explains.

In Los Angeles, he stays at the old, Montgomery Clift-haunted Roosevelt Hotel, instead of the more star-friendly Chateau Marmont or Sunset Marquis. Self-conscious as it may be, this fidelity to mythic Americana is part of Adams' charm. It's evident in his best songs, with their street-corner detail and bad-luck, sad-eyed ladies. It's also part of his cliche.

Serious-musician Ryan (personality two, equally versed in Hank Williams, the Smiths, and Black Flag) has reason to be here as well. He's trying to record a great album, the follow-up to 2001's breakthrough, Gold, which sold 400,000 copies and made Adams a semi-celebrity. With the single 'New York, New York' (and bittersweet video, shot across the river from the World Trade Center just days before September 11), the album elevated him from alt-country cult hero to bold-faced tabloid name (linked with Winona Ryder, among others). Then, before the former punk stoner kid from Jacksonville, North Carolina, could adjust to his fame, the backlash hit. Fans of his volatile country-rock band, Whiskeytown, and his earnest solo debut, Heartbreaker, cried 'Judas' over Gold's lustrous pop production (Starbucks soundtrack queens The Corrs later covered 'When the Stars Go Blue'). The album's classic-rock reverence warmed the Rolling Stones, who asked Adams to open shows on their Forty Licks tour.
