From the MMJ website: Louisville was hit with some alarming news. Our beloved independent record store and pillar of our community, ear X-tacy, is on the brink of closing down due to a decline in business over the last three years. We as a band cannot express how important local businesses are to the very fiber of a community, and stores such as ear X-tacy are prime examples. It is out of our distinct appreciation and respect for John Timmons and the ear X-tacy staff that we offer a digital download of our live album, Celebración De La Ciudad Natal, for $4.99, with all proceeds going to ear X-tacy. The EP can be purchased at the ear X-tacy digital home page. Please support your local businesses…they need us and we need them!!!

Ye olde LEO’s Mat Herron has a long piece on John Timmons and the ear X-tacy problem. David Mann has a longish preview of Andrea Davidson’s show at the Vernon Club on Saturday. Herron also has the cover story about mountaintop removal plus Daniel Martin Moore and Ben Sollee’s new CD, Dear Companion, available at, ahem, ear X-tacy Records. Herron’s B-Sides column features a short piece on Blue Sky Kentucky’s latest activities, including the Bottle Rockets show at the Phoenix Hill Tavern, plus other plugs. And there are four CD reviews in this issue. Over at the C-J/Metromix/Velocity corner, Charlie White has a lengthy writeup on the Salt River Bluegrass Festival in Shepherdsville this weekend, organized by the Brown family, most notably Tommy Brown of County Line Grass. The headliners are the Cherryholmes. ![Reblog this post [with Zemanta]](http://img.zemanta.com/reblog_e.png?x-id=04123ce3-c35e-4cfc-b0ab-ec0558fa47bc)
Daniel Martin Moore and Ben Sollee’s Dear Companion CD on Sub Pop Records is available.
LEO’s Mat Herron got a review of Jim James‘ Valentine Day show at the Rachskeller on the Spin.com website. While we’re writing about James, news comes the My Morning Jacket will play The Sasquatch! Festival at the Gorge in Quincy, Washington on May 29-31 Peter Berkowitz has an interview with Johnny Quaid of Ravenna Colt. Nobody ever said Will Oldham was straightforward; his latest ‘announcement’ about a new project, apparently called The Wonder Show of the World, recorded with The Cairo Gang, a moniker of California based singer-songwriter Emmett Kelly, is a short and cryptic video, featuring the information painted on the bare backside of a woman wearing a thong. Spinner.com has a bit of background about the collaboration. Early rockabilly star Dale Hawkins, writer of “Suzie Q,” died of cancer at 73. Hawkins was a Louisiana guitarist and cousin of Ronnie Hawkins (The Hawks, The Band). Doug Fieger, 57, died on February 14, 2010. He was the lead singer of the New Wave band The Knack and co-wrote the biggest hit song of 1979, “My Sharona.” The Backseat Sandbar guys posted a video of John Timmons‘ press conference. |
