It’s been a great 2012 so far for us at MOKB and we just want to thank everyone for taking time out of their days to check out the site. We look forward to continue bringing you the latest and greatest in music. From everyone at My Old Kentucky Blog, have a safe and happy 4th of July! Just be careful when you are setting off your whistlin’ bungholes, spleen splitters, whisker biscuits, honkey lighters, hoosker doos, hoosker don’ts, cherry bombs, nipsy daisers, or whistlin’ kitty chasers.
Liz Janes is one of those artists for whom there is no kinda. You love her or you don’t, and that’s OK. Certainly, Ms. Janes hasn’t based her career on giving people what they want or expect, and when you get right down to it, that’s part of what makes her a great artist. Not surprisingly, that’s also what makes other artists line up to pay their respects when a project like the digital-only Time & Space comes along.
Time & Space finds Asthmatic Kitty giving seven wildly diverse artists a blank check to do their voodoo to the Janes track of their choosing. Takers include My Brightest Diamond, Black Heart Procession and Fol Chen. First up, though, is a radical Son Lux reimagineering of Desert that renders the track a trance-worthy microcosmic trip through the great within.

If you’re not familiar with the oeuvre of lo-fi dominus and Joe Meek devotee, R. Stevie Moore, here’s an economical trial by fire just for you. On August 9, 2010 Sick Of The Radio will be offering a free download of the R. Stevie Moore tribute compilation box set, Volume 3: Hey, Pretty World. Hey, Pretty World features 26 tracks from like-minded, and in their own way not-quite-right artists including like Jad Fair, Sean Moore, Wonderwheel, The Creepy Shits and The Winter Lights. Look at it this way. If you hate it, you’re not out anything, but if you dig it, there’s a pretty good chance that you’ll find a similar deal on Volumes 1 and 2 just by combing the Sick Of The Radio site.
