HECK YES! Over the Rhine, Live From Nowhere Volume IV

Currently listening to: TORTOISE, It's All Around You

Just read that one of the greatest little bands in the land, Over the Rhine, will indeed be releasing a fourth volume of their live yearbook Live from Nowhere sometime later this year. Even better: IT'S A DOUBLE WHAMMY! That's right, since the band celebrated its 20th Anniversary last year with all kinds of epic live shows, I guess they have an extra plethora of great material on hand.

I would link to my source, but apparently it came through via some new fangled technology called Tweeter or something, and given my track record, I probably won't be using that until we achieve faster than light technology.

Buenos Noches.

HECK YES! Josh Ritter, Live & Free

Opened up my e-mail to a pleasant surprise this morning. Josh Ritter, who has released a string of four great folk-rock albums in the last several years, will be setting out soon on a lengthy summer tour of North America. The surprise? He'll be playing a FREE concert at the beautiful Waterfront Park in my hometown of Louisville, a mere two hours away. This is all courtesy to the great local radio station, WFPK.

I have yet to see Josh live, so you can imagine how stoked I am about this. If you haven't heard Josh yet, start with the Animal Years. It's one of the best albums of this CENTURY.
