- Porch Talk: TV shows
- I don't expect this to amount to a hill of beans to you, but I'm gonna try to put some stuff on the site that is just kinda... I don't know... getting to know me type things. I'm just a regular kinda guy. So I'll share some things of an everyday life variety so we can have a more friendly relationship rather than an "Artist / Fan" awkward deal happening.
I don't have cable or satellite. I have a PlayStation 3 and watch TV via Netflix and Hulu. In the bedroom I have a Roku box, which serves the same purpose. I just got tired of paying all the money for cable. When I was growing up we had cable. We had ONE HBO and ONE Cinemax channel because...well, they only had one. I didn't get internet in my home till 2005. But now I have internet and no cable. Can't say I miss it. I might be a little late on the seasons of my favorite shows, but I can live with that just fine.I don't usually like to watch shows till they get a few seasons under their belt. I hate getting into a show, getting to like the characters and settings, then the network cancels it. It happened twice recently. We started watching two shows with the kids... Let me clarify something real quick. We have what we call "kid shows", which doesn't mean it's Disney channel stuff, just stuff that's Ok for the kids to watch. So, The "kid shows", we had been watching 'No Ordinary Family' on ABC which we all enjoyed cancelled after an open ended season finale. I was non too happy. We also watched 'The Cape' on NBC, which ended worse because they cancelled it BEFORE the season finale and tried to condense the final three episodes into one. That turned a good show into a disappointing mess!Here are some shows I really dig. True Blood, Justified, American Horror Story, Dexter, Sons Of Anarchy, The League, Blue Mountain State. These are the ones we watch when kids go to bed. Some that we watch with the kids are Storage Wars, Swamp People, Gold Rush, Warehouse 13, Fact Or Faked, Psych, American Pickers, Auction Hunters, Sons Of Guns. There's some others in there. I'll watch ANYTHING with Gordon Ramsay.
So there you go. I'll link this kinda stuff to my Twitter (My Preferred Social Experience) and Facebook. If you have any comments or suggestions on something shoot me a line at one of those places. Be sure to include if the show is Kid Friendly or not. Next time I think I'll talk movies. Thanks y'all.~Huke

- Huke Green’s vocals are nothing like you’ve heard before. Sounding as though whiskey has been soaked in his throat during his formative years and then worn down by sandpaper, despite this Huke’s vocals invite you in and it is very difficult not to enjoy what you’re hearing. Read full review
- FPS Winter Special - This Saturday!
This Saturday, Jan 14th, The Front Porch Society is having a special winter afternoon hootenanny from 1ish pm - 4ish pm. out at the Fantastic Dunn Bros. Coffeehouse in Frindswood, TX. YES, this is the place you've heard all the fuss about! The High should be in about the mid 60's and it should be a nice time for coffee or your favorite wine... whichever warms you most.

- House Concerts / Almost Austin TONIGHT!
I would like to implore all of you to do something this year. If you've never been to a House Concert, you I would like to suggest 2012 be the year you find one in your area and attend a show. 'House Concerts' may be a bit of a confusing term. Sometimes they are held in Churches, such as the case of Heights Live or Uncle Calvin's Coffeehouse. Sometimes there are in a building whose sole purpose is as a music venue, such as Red Dragon. They are places to go to hear music in an intimate setting, where folks aren't in attendance with the intent to getting fall down drunk, and where your libel to be warned of being thrown out if your disturbing others by chatting during the show. They are LISTENING ROOMS.
One of my personal favorite venues, Almost Austin House Concerts in Pasadena, TX is hosting a show TODAY and would be an excellent way to get into the House Show spirit! Kenny Pipes will feature the fantastic twosome of Danny Schmidt and Carrie Elkin right there on his living room stage. Click on the Almost Austin link above for more info and to see what's going on with future events.
Wherever you are in the world, Google your town with the term 'House Concert' and find a venue in your area. You'll be glad you did.

- "Rustic Poet" is the perfect soundtrack for America on the edge of a province in which the dreams and hopes die and are revived every day, marked by subtle but deeply poetic rhythms....
