The Short Stack-Who's who

I was asked who the artists were on the current short stack by my good friend. I shall explain.
Jamey Johnson
Country music, relatively new, but sounds fairly old. Slower, more like some old Merle, Waylon, George and Willie.
Bon Iver
Very indie, a friend recommended it based on what he knows of my musical taste. I really like listening to it, slower, calm, melodic.
O.A.R.
Kind of a jam band, similar to a Dave Matthews Band, but not as good, good live, they put on a good show, I only own their live albums, since they are better.
The Hiss
Local Atlanta band, kinda retro, kinda funky, right now they only have a 4 song EP out, waiting for the full length album.
Lewis Black
Not really music, stand up comedy. He is part of the Daily Show with John Stewart, but he tours the country, very topical and current with his work, political, social and general human observation. He is funny, true to his roots, and it cracks me up. Sharp tongued, yes, not for kids.

Hope that helps.

It also shows the wide range of the things going in my ears.
