Agnes at It All Started With Carbon Monoxide is complaining about the heat…What??? Yes, the heat, because it’s the middle of summer Down Under. Read her stern warning about goat-ownership.

Lost In Your Inbox also has a warning: about hallucinations caused by coffee. I’ll take my hallucinations with cream, thanks. Check also the lovely song by Windmill she posted yesterday.

Lonesome Music has a memoriam for John Martyn, who passed away at the young age of 60 this past week.

OMG, Rollo and Grady have posted the Coachella lineup. Lots of interesting artists on the bill, but I wouldn’t hold my breath for Amy Winehouse. I wish that girl would clean herself up. Good news: the site offers a layaway plan this year!

Longtime blogpal PJ at The Yellow Stereo posted a vid of Andrew Bird on David Letterman and a new song. I have just bought Bird’s new album, Noble Beast, and I’m hopeful that I’ll like it better than the last one.
