No one gets remembered for the things they didn’t do…
I found the last package of Christmas Pocky!!!!! *squee*
Scooter found me shortly after the Pocky discovery so now I have to share. *pouts*
From time to time I glance through the stats area of my blog to see what brings people over here. Lately, Frank Turner and Jonathan Rundman have been showing up on pretty much a daily basis. Unfortunately for those hunting, my entries about them are pretty much just tossing off a song lyric.
So here are some links for both musicians that actually have…er, information on them.
Frank’s website at frank-turner.com. Blog, tour dates, vids, a forum you can join and a store to buy Frank’s music.
Merlin Jobst interviewed Frank Turner this past July over on Little Sparrow:
Jobst – When it comes to your major influences, do you feel more indebted to British or American music?
Turner – Probably more to American music actually, although I’ve been making a conscious effort to find out more about traditional English music recently. That said, the big three for me are Neil Young, Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen. And then there’s Townes Van Zandt…”
Check out the entire interview on littlesparrowreviews.wordpress.com.
Finally, for reviews of his new release England Keep My Bones and general info check out ninebullets.net as the writers onsite are big fans. Frank is also a semi-staple on the weekly ninebullets radio show.

Jonathan’s website at jonathanrundman.com. News, tour dates, music, vids and blog.

Pop over to No Depression for the entire review.
Finally,check out Jonathan on Facebook.

I have been trying to write the review for Blurred, by San Francisco singer/songwriter Alex Wise for a few months now but can’t seem to finish it. This is difficult for me to say but I get about halfway through the process and find myself so homesick I just can’t continue. The past few years have been full [...]
Now that Scooter is back sleeping nights I proclaim this ’dig myself out from under the mountain of un-reviewed music‘ week. Kicking off the week o’reviewing is Arc & Stones, the debut EP from Brooklyn band Arc & Stones. The guys are Dan Pellarin (vocals), Ben Cramer (guitar), Joe Doino (drums) and Eddy Bayes (bass). I had [...]
So, I was in the mood for some blues and whoosh – blues appeared. Other people get coupons, bills and news updates in the mail while I get blues music. Cool new blues music in the form of the debut release Telegraph Taboo from the Chicago-based band Nick and the Ovorols. This is not a pretty album. The vocals on a few tracks [...]
