Hurricane Ike did a doozy on good ol’ Kentucky so I am on day three without power and worse, without the power of words. Our good thoughts go out to all those affected by the storm.

Brass Bed - Midnight Matinee
Lindsey Buckingham - Gift of Screws

James - “Sometimes” (a mildly old fave):

I’m on tour in California next week so I’ll try to have some of my fascinating (not really) reports on My Morning Jacket in Berkeley, LA and San Diego. Good times!

Thanks for stopping by, gentle readers. As always you can email us at musicblog@sxsw.com where a swift and interesting reply will be made!

Put it in your pocket, lp
