The Week in Music…Blogs – June 2 to June 8, 2012
There are still a few tickets left for the Steve Carlson and Jonah Dolan concert on StageIt tonight.
I missed this when I did the post yesterday so I’m tucking it in before the blog list. The Amends have their new EP, Signal up for two bucks on Bandcamp.
Monx from over on I Want 1000 Guitars reviewed Living with Scars by The Jo Wymer Band. I Want 1000 Guitars is also the home of Free Music Mondays so look around a little while you are there and pop some new stuff on your mp3 player.
Terry Gross from from NPR‘s Fresh Air interviewed Neil Young about Americana, the new album from Young and Crazy Horse.
Dora from Buzznet profiled the Young Electrics and streamed a track for listening. Jack Moore (Gypsy and the Wolf) is playing guitar for them (although not in the vid she has up).
Peter Parcek continues his Unsung Heroes of the Blues Guitar series with a piece on Andy Fairweather Low.
From Reader‘s Artist on Artist Johnny Burgin interviews Charlie Musselwhite.
Rachel from Adobe and Teardrops reviews Bear Creek from Brandi Carlile.
Debbie Davies is looking for some tremelo pedal recs. You can help her out on Twitter @DebDaviesBlues.
Gonna end this week with a video from the Americana Music Association Award Nominee Announcement, which was apparently a good excuse for lots of cool musicians to get on stage and play. This is Robert Ellis (with a little help from Jim Lauderdale, Don Was, Buddy Miller, Don Heffington and Greg Leisz on the pedal steel) performing Westbound Train.

Like the sun we will live to rise…
I was tempted to call my musicdiary2012 entry for May 9, 2012 ‘sounds what I grooved on’ but the impulse passed. As most of my listening Wednesday was actually music video watching…here come the vids.
Kit’s Awesome Vid of Day – Soundgarden (and The Avengers) – Live to Rise
I have been playing Joe Bonamassa in an attempt to catch up. He records a lot and I am always a little behind on his releases. Broke out some Ramones, some Young Electrics, more Record Company and a new (to me) band called Garfunkel and Oates (NSFW but so, so very funny) that Kahuna found while stalking reading Patrick Rothfuss’ blog. I am liking the new Joe Walsh and have this:
Our Little Einsteins classical piece of the day (snerk) was The Wedding Day at Troldhaugen by Grieg. I have always liked this piece and not just because Edvard had really cool hair.
The ‘put Scooter to sleep’ list is short today. She went down pretty fast last night so only a few songs to list:
Can’t Find My Way Home – Blind Faith
Heart of Gold – Neil Young
The Lion Sleeps Tonight – The Tokens
Ships in a Bottle – Butch Walker
Break Me – Steve Carlson
Summer Breeze – Seals and Crofts
That is pretty much it for me today. Got an article and a review to finish so shoo…go watch the vids.

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 [...] -
