Morning Buzz: The Band, Reggie Watts, Amon Amarth

:: I found this amazing blog last night thanks to Chunklet and instantly devoured the whole thing. A guy found a trunk full of seven-inch vinyl circa 1987-1993, then decided to write about and rip a record a day until he got through the entire collection. All of today’s random tracks that don’t suck have been culled from said trunk.

:: Rolling Stone has reprinted its 1968 story about the inception of The Band.

:: You pick up that new Reggie Watts vinyl yet?

:: Scott Hatch recently discussed the impetus behind creating Burnt Toast Vinyl and the course it’s taken over the last 15 years.

:: Don’t forget to send in your beard pictures for the Amon Amarth Viking beard contest over at MetalSucks.

:: Those wacky Aquabats!

:: The Newport Folk Festival has announced its lineup for 2011.

:: The Sub Pop scholarship is back.

:: Random tracks that don’t suck:

Nation of Ulysses – Car Bomb
Melvins – With Yo’ Heart, Not Yo’ Hands
Dinosaur Jr. – Freak Scene
Valcano Suns – Openings
Tar – Deep Throw

    Thanks for the link. To clarify- I didn’t find that trunk- I bought everything in it, and just forgot about it for 15 years. Glad you found some stuff you like.
