We’re enjoying the ride of great re-issues from Light In The Attic. Today marks the first official re-release to follow up the MoB approved Cold Fact from the Sixto “Sugarman” Rodriguez. If you dug that record, I’m certain you’ll be able to get behind Coming from Reality, which embodies the same great “he said what?” folk elements that he’s made his trademark. Highly recommended.
Muzzle of Bees Giveaway: We’ve got a copy of Coming from Reality on vinyl and CD to give away. To enter, drop a comment letting us know the next concert you’re going to see and we’ll select two winners next week.
Update: Make sure to visit our friends at Daytrotter today and download the four-song set from Rodriguez.

I’d love to have a chance to win “Coming from Reality”!
Either way, really love what you’re doing here. It’s inspiring to someone who wants to start his own music blog!

King Khan and the Shrines at the Bottom Lounge on 5/15. You Tube footage of their recent NYC show makes me think I should pack my pom poms and a mini-dress – time to go rummage sale-ing methinks.
Brandon – thanks for the tip on the upcoming Terrace show. I didn’t know Jail was going to be there too. Their recent LP (avail. on their myspace page [jailjailjail] is one of my favorite releases this year.
