Chase the wind and touch the sky…
So, I was updating my review widget a couple of days ago when my sidebar exploded. I’m still not sure if it was an update or some weird code error but I am bereft of social media links till I get them all reinstalled. I feel like the blog is stranded on an iceberg and the only contact with civilization is a small pontoon plane.
Shoreacres from The Task at Hand found and shared the Featured Vid for this Week. Check out Unorganized Hancock doing their cover of Modest Mouse‘s Float On.
Lots of new music in the jukebox this week including The Heavy Horses track I was looking for a few weeks ago. Give a listen to Alabama Shakes – Always Right, Great Peacock – Take me to the Mountain, The Heavy Horses – Copper and Gold, Joe Pug – The Great Despiser and Jason Isbell – Cigarettes and Wine.
Okay, I promised once the sun came up I would go find Hamish for Scooter. She has the little brothers from Brave in bear form and when I went to collect them so she could sleep, Hamish was nowhere to be found. Since I draw the line at moving furniture at four in the morning, I am off to search now.

The Week in Music…Blogs – May 12 to May 18, 2012
So my coffeemaker DIED a horrible death yesterday and as @varnishgal so eloquently commented on Twitter - Yes, I was a resident of Suckville.
- Yes, it looks like it’s leaning but I am too
lazybusy to retake the photo.
However, after much inspecting of phone pics and email discussions the mighty Super-Kahuna picked a new coffeemaker up from the store right after work. And yes, after setting it up and running the water cycle-thing I did brew a pot and drink some. Captain America approved this endeavor.
ATO Records is giving away a FREE Spring Sampler loaded with tracks from the Alabama Shakes, the White Rabbits, Lucero and many others.
Stewart Oksenhorn at the Aspen Times reviewed new releases from Theresa Andersson, Anders Osborne and Bill Frisell.

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 [...] - Arc & Stones…

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 [...] - Telegraph Taboo…

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 [...] -
