“Real” publications do it, so why not Songs:Illinois? Here’s a letter to the editor, music blog style, with links to live shows from Mark Jungers, Scott Nolan and Danny Schmidt. Thanks to Chad for sending this along.
Hey man-
Got a bunch of links and info for you, that you may or may not know.
Saw your post on the new Adam Carroll record. It’s great. It was produced by Scott Nolan (who wrote the song “Bad Liver and a Broken Heart’ on Hayes’ new record), and recorded in Mark Junger’s garage, and engineered by Jungers, who might have helped out with some of the production too, not sure.
Here’s one of my favorite shows that I went to in 2007: Mark Jungers, with Scott Nolan and Adam. Adam plays, for the first time ever live (i think), Oklahoma Hustler and Hi-Fi Love, and perhaps the funniest version of “Werewolves of London” i’ve ever heard. Mark’s cover of “Powderfinger”, with Scott Nolan on lead, is however, one of the best cover versions I’ve heard.

If you don’t know Scott Nolan, check him out. He’s got a bunch of videos on YouTube. He and Joanna Miller play as a duo, and get a sound that sounds like a 5 piece band.
Also, a buddy of mine (who taped the above show also), recently taped Danny Schmidt, and Danny played a bunch of new ones. Thought you might want to check that out:
Danny Scmidt (Flac) (listen for Danny’s great new song about globalization)
Lastly, I discovered The Lonelyhearts through your site. Really really dig their tunes. Don’t know if you knew or not, but their first band has a ton of downloads available at www.rustbeltmusic.com
Figured I’d gotten enough stuff from your site that I should share a bit.
