Around the Web in Americana music (mostly)
Posted by autopsy4 on Fri, Jan 23, 2009 at 8:38 PM
Another week comes to pass and I am a mere two weeks away from heading out west for some snowboarding. I am gonna try to make this weekly Americana(ish) web round-up a regular thing. Is anyone out there reading them? Anyhow, outside of music I have a few things I'm thinking about...
First, what the hell was Radhika thinking on Top Chef this week? The leader of the losing restaurant always gets eliminated in Restaurant Wars. She should have thrown the quickfire.
Second, the Rays went to the World Series, a black man is our president and the Arizona Cardinals are in the Superbowl. I dunno about you, but I spent this week looking up girls from highschool. Hell has obviously frozen over and it's time for them to make good on some promises.
And finally, is there anything on earth better than VH1 reality TV? I had long thought Rock of Love was god's gift to us but then they go and one up themselves with Tool Academy. Thank you, VH1, for giving my Sunday's without football meaning again.
Okay, enough TV talk ... on with the music:
- Has anyone else stopped to think about how awesome February 17 is gonna be? That's the day we will see new releases from: Jason Isbell, The Fox Hunt, Deep Dark Woods, William Elliott Whitmore, and Alela Diane. And the entire Murder City Devil's discography will be issued (re?) on Vinyl.
- It's been unseasonably cold this week, which I'm sure has resulted in another cover or two on your bed. In the spirit of covers, the Lucero Message Board put together a compilation of bands doing cover songs. It's worth checking out for the Bonnie "Prince" Billy's cover of Danzig's "Am I Demon" alone. You can download it here.
- Following up on the awesome news of new Drag The River and Jon Snodgrass albums on the horizon, Suburban Home has announced that Austin Lucas' new album, Somebody To Love, should be coming out sometime in March. They also made the title track available for our listening pleasures:Austin Lucas - Somebody Loves You
- The fine blog, Muzzle of Bees posted an interview with Lucero's frontman, Ben Nichols.
- In Drive-By Truckers news: Patterson Hood mentioned in a recent article that the band has begun working on a new, as yet untitled album. And in even better news he said "I feel it’s time to make a big, loud, rowdy rock record." Thank God! I've always liked the loud rocking Truckers over the newer kinder Truckers of recent albums. In other DBT news, NME had an article this week about the new Booker T album, Potato Head, in which DBT is his backing band. The album, out April 20 (420...get it...), also features Neil Young on guitar. Booker T, Neil Young and The Drive-By Truckers ... how could this album not be awesome?

That is well known that money can make us autonomous. But how to act if one doesn't have money? The only one way is to receive the loans and just student loan.
