			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was honored to receive an email from Lance Bakemeyer of the Hillbilly Hellcats this morning regarding our clip of the <A HREF="http://earpoke.com/?p=40" target="_blank"> zombie dance from Dead and Breakfast</A>. In case there was any misunderstanding, that wasn&#8217;t the Hillbilly Hellcats music the zombies were dancing to, it was Zach Selwyn of the country rock band Zachariah and the Lobos Riders (quite an interesting cat).<br />
<span id="more-41"></span><br />
The Hellcats had three tunes in this movie, Roadkill Cafe, Dead Man&#8217;s Party, and Hillbillies on Speed which you&#8217;ll hear in this next clip. </p>
<p>Be forewarned, if you don&#8217;t like blood and guys you might want to watch it with your eyes closed. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This interview comes from the documentary You Can See Me Laughing: The Last of the Hill Country Bluesman, about Fat Possum records and its artists.</p>
<p>Fat Possum is one of the only labels putting out blues worth listening to these days, and this movie documents how Matthew Johnson started the label with credit cards and his student loans so he could record Junior Kimborough and R.L. Burnside. This music is raw, dangerous, desperate, savage and alive, and nobody exemplifies this more than T-Model Ford.</p>
<p>Aside from the aforementioned artists, there are also has interviews and clips of Cedell Davis, Asie Payton, Johnny Farmer, Kenny Brown, Iggy Pop and Bono, who for some reason needs to be in every single documentary from the past 15 years. </p>

<p>&#8220;T-Model&#8217;s life reads like a horror story. At the age of eight, his father beat him so badly between the legs with a piece of firewood that he lost a testicle. His ankles are scarred from the chain gang. His neck is scarred where one of his wives slashed his throat. He has been shot, stabbed, pinned under a fallen tree with a broken ribcage, beaten unconscious with a metal chair. He watched his first wife go off with his own father, watched another die after she drank poison to try and induce a miscarriage. The only woman he ever really loved poisoned him at the breakfast table; he woke up in hospital that afternoon and never saw her again.&#8221;</p>
