Two new Christmas songs (with chord sheets!)

The simple joys of Wikipedia

Dolly Parton vs. the Ku Klux Klan

It’s hard to write a Christmas song

What comes after Cyber Monday?

Want to support Brutal South?

The internet forgets

For such a time as this?

On depression in the newsroom

It's only funny at a distance

Nothing to lose but your chains

Fierce and instructive ghosts

A brief history of the lynching metaphor

Certainty

A forgotten story of youth in revolt

Everyone loves a good train wreck

Heavy metal dads

The hell that we built

Dark corners of the children’s library

How to be an authentic hillbilly

What’s the point?

I hear you cussing and I’m not convinced

Taught by the test

Singing a weird song of death

Love in the Time of Instagram

All the right reasons to fight Lindsey Graham

I was a sidewalk preacher

On hate mail

You'll never un-see it

In praise of South Carolina's Brutalist beast

Welcome to the Brutal South.
