Linkin' On a Spring Afternoon

by Steve Pick

Yesterday, you'll recall - because you ruminate about our blog all day and night after you read it - I was discussing, among other things, the new B-52's album, Funplex. Well, I didn't do a particularly good job of telling you anything about what the record sounds like, but our fave music blogger Carrie Brownstein does, in her latest installment of Monitor Mix.

Joe Schwab's post the other day about National Record Store Day elicited a comment from Jarret Green, who has a nice blog of his own, on which he sent some love our way, as well as to some other fine independent record stores. Get over to Stoplight Sleep and look around.

We've pointed you before in the direction of Ted Barron's excellent blog, Boogie Woogie Flu, but you've really got to read this guest posting by the great dB's drummer Will Rigby about his youthful days meeting up with Alex Chilton and Chris Bell of Big Star.

Thanks are due to former employee and generally groovy dude Jon Scorfina for sending readers over to our blog from the Star Clipper Blog. Jon sells comic books now, and we definitely believe you should support that very fine store in U. City, and read the fun posts over there.
