Some Tuesday Evening Links...

The guys over at That Truncheon Thing have gone and done it again. My favorite bloggers of classic concerts have released another batch of noteworthy items over the past 2 or 3 weeks (since I last linked them). This week they are featuring the complete Peel Sessions of The Smiths from 1983. It’s a generous 16 song set, featuring the band in its early days and sounding great. Check it out HERE. Last week they featured a Rolling Stones concert from 1973 that is just full of the great songs from the Beggars Banquet - Exile On Main Street phase that some would argue was the greatest period for any band, ever. Check that out HERE. Finally, HERE is a show from Uncle Tupelo that was recorded shortly before the band’s ultimate demise. Guys, TTT 4, PHW 2. This is gonna be fun!

Muzzle of Bees is another of my favorite music blogs (hence the link over there in “Music To My Ears”) and recently featured a great post for fans of The National. Click HERE for the band’s Black Sessions, recorded live for French radio in April 25, 2005, shortly after their new-classic Alligator. Remember, Boxer is due out May 22, and, well, at this point it's a “can’t miss” for one of the year’s best records.

And fans of Wilco should check out Aussie blog Oceans Never Listen for some nice photos of the band and a show review from their Australian tour. Check it out HERE.
