- Coolest roundabout discoveries on the net..
I was out and about on the net, following up on some leads. I had been turned onto a band Jason Heath and the Greedy Souls, due to their cool cover of 'Crazy Train' found on their debut release The Vain Hope Of Horse
'Crazy Train is an incredible song as you all should know. Who doesn't know the Ozzy track most recently made famous again on the MegaMind Soundtrack. But this is the perfect cover as there is a fantastic departure musically from the original. It's only in instances like this that you are forced to get to know the original song, instead of just banging along to a tune you've known for years and never actually listened to deeply. Of course a click or two later, I'm on the video for 'Anarchist Girl' by Jason Heath and the Greedy Souls, from their Packed for Exile (Sampler EP)
A few clicks later, I'm checking out their site (www.jasonheathandthegreedysouls.com). One thing leads to another, and some how I end up at Noisetrade.com downloading some free tracks.
I like Noisetrade as you can sort and sift through the hundreds of bands you don't and could, maybe should know. If you're leery you can download for free. You can also chose a donation rate to compensate for what you download.

Annie & the Beekeepers rebuild! In an email from the Annie & the Beekeepers E-list we find out:
"It's been a year since the last tour with The original Beekeepers. I've spent this time writing new material, performing solo, and playing shows, here and there, with a sampling of NYC's finest musicians (in my opinion) in an effort to find the necessary inspiration to move forward with purpose. Thankfully, this inspiration has been found. Among the aforementioned musicians are Guitarist/Mandolinist/Vocalist, Andrew Michael Buri, and Bassist/Vocalist/Multi-instrumentalist, Jeni Magana. Please join me in welcoming these two into the new cast of Beekeepers. With a deep respect for the band's foundation, we have decided to carry on the name and spirit of the original project! Bear with us as we update our websites etc " If you are reading this for the first time now, you may have missed them in Boston, but there is an upcoming show in NYC November 11th @ the Living Room!
WISH LIST -
No F**king Messiah by Pearl Jam. This is the greatest bootleg of all-time. It really has it all. Live produced performances (SNL), demos, soon to be released tracks, acoustic, excellent covers and a great booklet lamenting the loss of Kurt Cobain by his friend/nemesis Eddie Vedder.
This bootleg is unrivaled as far as unoffical music production goes. I was lucky enough to buy it new just before the release of Vitology, at a random Radio Shack at the Outer Banks in North Carolina. Approximately fifteen years ago, after overuse and poor quality control, the disc is falling apart. It barely plays, and will not rip onto a computer.
It is available on Amazon, but I just don't trust a so called "used - very good" copy to have not degraded like mine. Plus the prices are outrageous.

2. 'Rearview Mirror' SNL - 4-16-94
