Twelve Angry Months is a concept album (of sorts) that chronicles the disintegration of a relationship (one song for each month of the year). We’ve all been there, and Local H front man Scott Lucas does a great job of whipping his feelings into a solid set of songs.

Johnny Winter in his Prime
http://heavyriff.com/ 2008/ 05/ 13/ johnny-winter-in-his-prime/Here is another video from youtube that I think really showcases Johnny Winter in his earlier days. This was some sort of impromptu tv appearance that he did and he performed a great version of “Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo”. The notes just seem to flow from his fingers as it’s just he and the bass player performing.

CD Review: Metropolitan Klezmer – Traveling Show
http://lucidculture.wordpress.com/ 2008/ 05/ 13/ cd-review-metropolitan-klezmer-…It’s a mystery why more bands don’t make live albums. They’re infinitely cheaper to record, and if the band is really cooking, they make a great inducement to get fans to come out to shows. Of all the bands who really ought to make a live album, it’s especially exciting to see one from Metropolitan Klezmer.

http://thrillpier.blogspot.com/ 2008/ 05/ dan-le-sac-vs-scroobius-pip-button.htm…Wow, 2 hip hop gigs in a couple of weeks is some sort of new record for me. Though when the MC's are a diminutive Jewish dude from Cincinnati and a guy from Essex with a gigantic beard I must concede that I'm probably dipping my toe into safe waters.
