For Ryan Adams fans out there, this is worth checking out. “Werewolph” appears to be one of his many alter ego projects. Great for a laugh. Although I must say, “Mega Wizards” (track 3) is kinda growing on me…

Ryan Adams from RollingStone.com

I’m really glad I got to see The Cardinals this past September, because it may be my last time. It may even be a long time before I see/hear anything from Ryan Adams himself. He’s apparently calling it quits. For now. He’s citing mainly physical health issues, but I have to imagine his emotional issues are at play as well. Regardless, the man deserves a rest. After two stellar releases within the past few years (2007’s Easy Tiger and 2008’s Cardinology, as well as a number of long tours in support, the man certainly deserves a break. According to RollingStone.com:

In fact, Adams blames his ear problems for “false” reports that he’s been intoxicated during concerts. “People accusing me of not being sober when i am suffering tremendous pain and nausea from my inner ear symptoms,” Adams blogs, stating all the reasons why he’s going on hiatus for a little bit. “I am excited to step away. i lost more than anyone will ever know (hearing, someone i loved, my sense of dignity, a never ending losing battle with stage fright.” Adams also promises not to blog anymore, as he needs a private life that is his own.

Thanks for the awesome music Mr. Adams. Hope to see and hear you again soon.
