This interview Almost Passed Me By
The McLean's interview with Sam Roberts. You rarely read such flattering praise for a new artists. Actually all the praise is a little over the top - it almost reads like it was written by the leader of his fan club. The only dirt dished is on Nelly Furtado and some crappy live performance she gave. All in all worth reading though it does seem a little unnesecary to blast Furtado in a story about Roberts.

RIP
Noel Redding
The Bassist for the Jimi Hendrix Experience passed away earlier this week.
The Hendrix Experience was a truly influential band for me. I remember so clearly buying Are You Experienced from John Barban (he had an extra copy) back in high school. I bought it b/c I thought it was a best of compilation. Man, what a phenomenal first effort. I worshiped the Experience along with their contemporaries such as Bob Dylan and the Dead.
Redding will be sadly missed.

June Carter Cash
While I can't say I knew that much about June Carter Cash, or that I even liked her voice that much I know enough and respect her enough to say she came from a legendary musical family and did her part to continue that tradition both on her own and through her contributions with her husband Johnny Cash.
