Anyhoo, in a bid to get something up here and re-establish my presence, here come some recent examiner.com links (have you subscribed yet? c'mon, save us both some time and make me some pennies!):
Another story about my favorite young singer/songwriter, Andrew Belle.
ANDREW BELLE – Live At Hotel Cafe, March 3, 2010
ANDREW BELLE - Live at Rockit!
The first CD is one that Andrew sent out via email to those on his email list. The second was sent to me in a zip file by his manager when I was writing the story. It's also being given away on Belle's site with orders of his new CD, "The Ladder."
In early February, I wrote about OK Go and their fun live video for a song that they were also giving away for free. And then, within a few short weeks, they came up with a wild new clip that I couldn't resist writing about, too. If you haven't seen the band's contraption-laden video for "This Too Shall Pass," catch it here and now. I mentioned the new album,
OK GO – Of the Blue Colour of the Sky before, when I got it in digital download form, but the publicist followed through with the actual disc so, as the band itself would put it, "here it goes again."
Late February brought with it a new Johnny Cash album and the Man in Black's birthday, so that brought this story and accompanying digital zip file.
JOHNNY CASH – American Recordings VI: Ain’t No Grave
Wilco gave away free downloads of two fine 2009 concerts in an effort to raise funds for Haitian earthquake relief, so I wrote about that, too. I made my donation, so now I can listen, guilt-free, to:
WILCO – Live in Brooklyn
WILCO - Live in London
All of which brings the
YTD O/CD Tally to a tidy 50
There's a positive frenzy of downloading lately; almost every day I get a few single tracks and a full-length CD or two, so prepare for the digital odometer to spin mightily when I finally get around to that.
