AutopsyIVreviewed Look Out Mama, the new Hurray for the Riff Raff release and streamed several tracks from the album.
Chuck Dauphin over on Billboard reviewed Uncaged, the new release from the Zac Brown Band. He also tossed up a couple of vids for the album tracks. (as of this morning two had been pulled from you tube by Warner Music Group but one is still available to view)
Finally, check out #Rock Out With Your #Folk Out Press, which is kind of a daily music news aggregate helmed by singer/songwriter Corey Koehler.
That is it for me this time around. I have been fighting a killer cold all week and am ready to just crash on the couch and play Dawnguard. As always, if I missed your blog or you have a link to share please send me a quick email or leave your addy and info down in the comments section.

Lookie who’s crawling out from under her rock! Sorry you’re not feeling so perky. Those summer colds can be the worst.
I’m just fixated on that image of the Riff Raff pair. For one thing, she looks so much like Iris DeMent they might be sisters. Well, except for the face paint. The fellow reminds me of my time in Liberia. When the boys and girls go into the secret society bush schools, they have to come out sometimes – to help with harvest, for example. But they’re not supposed to come out until they’re done. What to do?
Easy – they’re coated with a white chalk, which makes them “socially invisible”. They’re there, but not there. They can do everything the other kids are doing, stay with their families and so on – but they aren’t there. It sounds a little complicated to us, but it works.
Apropos of nothing: I’m sure you know all about Iron and Wine, but I just ran across their music this week. If it’s been a while, have a listen to Freedom Hangs Like Heaven. My, goodness. Just fine.
Grin. I think the face paint was for the Day of the Dead celebration. I like the invisible/not invisible solution though – it makes a good workaround.
Iris has a new album coming out sometime this fall. Sept or Oct maybe?
Thanks for song – I popped it up in the jukebox so everyone can enjoy it – okay, I put it there so I can listen to it while I work but I am happy to share with anyone that comes along.
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 [...]
