Wednesday’s Intermezzo: We’re The Best!

It’s been a while since we’ve had a self-congratulatory ego strokin’ post on HT, but we can’t help our excitement over being named one of WNEW’s Best Music Blogs. We grew up listening to WNEW, and learned so much about the music we cover today from that station, so this honor is especially sweet for us.

Enough about us, let’s see what else is goin’ on:

• Chicago’s Jam Productions makes a play for the Uptown Theatre
• After a three year hiatus Bob Dylan’s Bootleg Series rolls onwards
• Get Well Soon: Fans fear for legendary guitarist Chuck Berry’s health
• Spacehog’s Royston Langdon impressed the Velvet Revolver dudes
• Alicia Keys and Jack White team up for the new Bond theme song
• You’ve just gotta read this crazy story about a nasty tour bus crash

I’m getting extremely psyched to see She & Him at the Newport Folk Festival on Saturday afternoon, especially after seeing these clips of the lovely Zooey Deschanel and rootsy singer-songwriter M. Ward performing for MTV Canada last week.
