Hello Dear Readers,I liked blogging so much yesterday that I decided to try it out again. I didn't make it out last night, but I figured maybe some of you did? Did you? Anyway the important thing is that you people know about the shows if you want to go out and support the local music scene. Blah blah blah so on and so forth. There are a lot of shows...

Ben Meyercord's Live Music Picks for Monday June 27th
Hello Dear Readers,Oh my goodness. It has been a hot second since I have blogged. I have been in a bit of a transitional period in my life. I was gone for a long time on practically back to back tours with Y La Bamba and then recorded most of an album with that band.

SUMMER LOVIN'...
Hey kids, sorry for the delay. I've been super busy both good and bad...

He has since transcended far beyond his questionable youthful discretions and has found a new path of positivity in his life through recent musical endeavors. Even though Collins...

Everyone has them... amazing albums that form part of the soundtrack of your life, but you've never met anyone who has even heard them. Or even hear of them, which is the case with what I am presenting today: Ted Hawkins. So who the hell is Ted Hawkins?Hawkins, a repeatedly discovered rough talent from Venice Beach by way of Mississippi, was primarily...
FUCKING METAL!
Just so all you dear readers and submitters understand, we get a lot of press releases, show announcements, and material for review. A LOT. The thing about us, the fine bloggers of CIMTB, is that not only are we generally a busy lot- novelists, touring musicians, librarians, beardists, homoerotic fanfiction writers- but we are also guided by... and...
