RE: White's Boots
The straps on the nomads are wider than most engineers, not sure if most would fit.

RE: White's Boots
No they probably haven't updated all the boots with all the leathers. Email Kyle at orders@bakershoe.com and ask him if it's available.He usually responds quick and he humors our crazy requests.

RE: Self Edge SF, NY, LA, PDX & MX
John is very responsive to customer requests. He made larger sizes of his engineer boots when enough people requested them. He might do the same with his other products.

RE: WAYWT - Shoes/Boots Edition!
These are Hoggs Rannoch boots with veldtschoen construction. They are said to be made by Cheaney. Really liking these so far, construction is great and they're comfortable.

RE: Music
My favorite version of Pancho and Lefty. Townes imparted something in his music that just can't be described.

RE: Viberg
Try using moleskin on the hot spot until the leather softens naturally.

RE: Soundtrack To Your Life
Last 5 years
I started doing messing around with songwriting and have been drawn to more of that vein of music. Bill Mallonee was a local guy at the time in the Atlanta area and I saw him on a whim at Eddie's Attic in Decatur, GA and loved it. Townes' music is something special and Ryan Adams/Whiskeytown is great.

RE: Soundtrack To Your Life
Late College
I spent some time in Lincoln Nebraska and found a Lullaby for the Working Class in the used CD bin. The scene out there was pretty incestuous with bands like the Faint, Bright Eyes, and Cursive. Bands would sometimes play at tKnickerbockers in town or I drove over to Omaha to hit a LOT of shows at the Cog Factory.

I'd heard about Songs: Ohia, but it was kind of hard to get into but when Magnolia Electric Co came out it was spectacular. I later came to love the earlier Songs Ohia stuff. It's a real shame Molina died. But since they were on the same label and since I loved going to shows at the Space in Hamden, CT I checked out both Damien Jurado and Richard Buckner at the same show. It was purely epic and at the time I had no idea of the greatness I was witnessing.
