"Random Sunday"

Where have you been? Well, between the end of the school year, my revisions, my family, and my time over at All The Write Notes, this blog got pushed to the end of the list. So not to let that happen again, I've decided on posting every Sunday. What the post will be about? I have no idea, and that will be the fun part of it for me, and hopefully you as well. Now, why Sunday? In all honesty, it seems to be the day of the week with the least amount of conflicts.

So, this week I've decided to help you out with some Glastonbury coverage. For those of you who don't know what Glastonbury is, it is the biggest music festival in the world, and one of my bucket list things to do.

So for the Concert(s) of the Week, I've decided on giving you four hours of music from Glastonbury to write to this week.  Check out the full performances below by the Arctic Monkeys, The Vaccines, Tame Impala, and Jake Bugg. Enjoy, and see you next week!

COTW - The Joy Formidable

Since this is my seventh post about The Joy Formidable, I'm going to assume I don't need to introduce this guitar thrashing Welsh trio. But since I'm going to see them again tonight, and I couldn't afford to take all of you, I figured this gig from April of last year was a good conciliation prize.

Whether your'e sitting in a cubicle, or writing from home, pump-pump-pump up the volume and enjoy the Concert of the Week.

Now if you love what you hear, you can pick up their albums over at TheJoyFormidable.com, or on iTunes. But if you want to keep up with all the latest tour dates, you can follow the band on Twitter, or over on Facebook.

Have a great weekend!

The Concert of the Week is an intimate set by The Lumineers, recorded by Liveset from the New Orleans home of writer TheCajunboy. With their folksy rhythms and foot stomping tracks, The Lumineers are a Spencer house favorite. My five and seven year old can both sing along to most of their debut album.

Now, if you haven't yet picked it up, then get over to your local record shop, or grab it off of  iTunes. If you would like to keep up with them socially, or check them out live, I've already got my tickets, you can check in with them on Twitter. Have a great weekend.

The Concert of the Week is UK newcomer Jake Bugg's amazing performance on my favorite radio program, Morning Becomes Eclectic.With his 60's throw back sound, and his Dylanesque style, this is an artist that will appeal to many.

You can pick up his debut over on iTunes here, or check in with him socially over on Twitter. I hope you enjoy the HD video, or the audio stream, both courtesy of the home of Morning Becomes Eclectic, KCRW. My previous post about Jake, from last August, can be found here. Have a great weekend.

Concert of the Week

Well, I can't think of a better way to start off my blog for the year then by sharing a live set by the one and only, Jack White. This performance, recorded for the amazing PBS show Austin City Limits, includes solo material, White Stripes, Raconteurs, Dead Weather and a blues cover to boot.  The tracks from his solo release, Blunderbuss, really shine throughout this set.

If you haven't yet, you can pick up Blunderbuss here through iTunes, or over at Third Man Records. Now, if you are in a giving mood, and want to support the show, you can do it by heading over to KLRU, the PBS station that produces Austin City Limits.

Enjoy your writing, and see you later this week.

Watch Jack White on PBS. See more from Austin City Limits.
