Tickets to the sold-out Meat Puppets/Built to Spill were hard to come by, but the official Louisville Music Maniac Cory Greenwell had some, went, took pictures and wrote up a review..

C-J music writer J. L. Puckett went to the Kid Rock show and all we got was this review.

Not much about music - particularly Louisville music - in this weeks weeklies. The music buyer for ear X-tacy, Sean Bailey gives Velocity’s Joseph Lord a week off with his reviews of projects from Tift Merritt - Another Country; Stephen Malkmus and The Jicks - Real Emotional Trash and Thriller 25, from some guy named Michael Jackson.

LEO is a bit better, with upcoming plugs of shows by Built to Spill, Kid Rock and The Luchagores by Jason Bugg plus Mat Herron’s phoner with Carrie Newcomer, who’ll be on the Kentucky Homefront show.

Joseph Lord has a suggestion on his blog about how to deal with missing SXSW.
