Awesome

Watched the new tv series "Sons of Anarchy" tonight and the intro song to the show is none other than Black Keys. Awesome. Its not the theme song but was cool score to the first scene you see.

The show was pretty cool. It seems a bit of a stretch but so was the Sopranos. Ill prob keep watching just for the Black Keys plug in.

Jessica Lea Mayfield

I like to think little nuggets like this one Heather Browne scrounged up in her Monday music roundup the reason why I am always surfing music blogs.

A few Diddys by JLM brought to you by NPR

Heather's site is linked on the sidebar. "Fuel...Friends" >>>>>

Here's an excerpt from her write up on Jessica.

Scott Avett of The Avett Brothers says that 18-year old Ohio native Jessica Lea Mayfield is "the most exciting new artist in the scene today," her debut album With Blasphemy, So Heartfelt was produced by Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys (she sang backup on Attack & Release), and the album also features vocals from two members of Dr. Dog.

Just having the Avett Brothers talk highly of you, The Black Keys put their money at stake for you and members of the up and coming Dr Dog back you up will get me a tad interested being that all three of these bands I listen to daily.

Thanks Heather.

Bob Dylan Harpoon Deal with Hohner

I play an awful harmonica yet I would like to have a Bob D Hohner Special.

These are only being sold in limited fashion in the range from 5,000 clams to 25000 bones. Wowzers!

The Hohner company and Bob Dylan are proud to announce the Bob Dylan Collection of hand-signed harmonicas, celebrating the accomplishments and legacy of both Bob Dylan and Hohner. Hohner has manufactured and distributed musical instruments since 1857, making it one of the world’s oldest musical instrument makers. Bob Dylan – venerated American singer-songwriter, author, poet and disc jockey – has been a major figure in popular music for five decades. During his career, Bob Dylan has won awards for his songwriting, performing, and recording, earning him eleven Grammys (including a Lifetime Achievement Award), Kennedy Center Honors and an Academy Award. He has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame. In 2008, Bob Dylan was awarded a Pulitzer Prize Special Citation for his "profound impact on popular music and American culture, marked by lyrical compositions of extraordinary poetic power."
