Pour yourselves a very big cup of coffee ’cause the links this week are going to take a while to work through.

Bluesman Peter Parcek took a little time out of his playing schedule to pen another in his Unsung Heroes series and profiled blues guitarist Leroy Foster.

Moving away from blues, Metal Insider tossed out their Top Five Live Metal Albums of ever and Spin shared several photos from Too Tough to Die,  the soon-to-be published Johnny Ramone memoir.

Over on Adobe and Teardrops, Rachel reviewed electronic pop band Xylos.
