Kung Fu Panda Country Reaction Gifs

The Louvin Brothers as children

I focus on my breathing and the universal sound

When you're relaxing on the back porch with some chilled out country music and somebody drives by listening to Upchurch

When you hear your pop-country fan office-mate listening to a Haggard song

If I ever catch myself enjoying a Dan + Shay song

When I heard Randy Travis has a new song dropping tomorrow

Every single time Luke Bryan falls off a stage I will watch it

When you're at a show and let go of a fart just as the band finishes their song with the abrupt ending

When pop artists come into mainstream country music just to make music that sounds like everything else in mainstream country music

When you don't think that was a piece of gum somebody just handed you at the Billy Strings show

When they catch whoever committed murder on music row and execute them, make it

FTM's Top 10 Murder Ballads


by Robert Dean

If there’s any tradition in American roots music that’s steeped in darkness and just utterly crushing thanks to it’s macabre tonality, it’s the murder ballad. The murder ballad is defined by Wikipedia as:
“Murder ballads are a subgenre of the traditional ballad form dealing with a crime. Their lyrics form a narrative describing the events of a murder, often including the lead-up and/or aftermath. The term refers to the content, and may be applied to traditional ballads, part of oral culture. Broadsheet printed ballads do not use the same formulas or structures, and are rooted in a literate society.”

Some grim shit, but oh so delicious when you’ve had a few drinks and are angry at humankind. If you’re a fan of country, the blues, or just dark rock and roll, there’s a long tradition of the murder ballad anchoring more than one classic record.

In an attempt to keep topics nice and spooky for Halloween, I wanted to rate my top 10 favorite murder ballads. If you’re looking to bum everyone out at your Halloween party, make a playlist. You’ll be in bed by 9:15. Enjoy. *now with an expanded accompanying Spotify Playlist*

Saturday Night Live Country Reaction Gifs

Country purists would have you believe 
no good country music was created after

Oh, you're going to see Kyle Park?

 When somebody whose musical taste you respect says 
the Moonshine Bandits are a guilty pleasure

Does Luke Bryan suck?

Even more of this couldn't help Florida-Georgia Line

And then what happened to the Knoxville girl?

 A truly underrated country song

 If Trebek doesn't like Chris Knight...

Famous Album Covers - Bleeding Cowboys III: Sinatra, Dylan, NWA, etc.

Even though usage of the font which should hardly ever be used has tailed off a bit this year, I still see a couple of new albums a month that use Bleeding Cowboys. Since it's still unfortunately relevant, FTM ponders (again) what some famous album covers would look like if they'd used that trashiest of type-faces.
