Direct Currents Up Coming Releases
you are getting sleepy
Some goodies among the dross coming up. Yes, now we are excited about Jenny Lewis, that’s what a great concert can do for you, now get over it. A new Sia is always good news, a new Manic Street Preachers we’ve been waiting for all year, Clapton taking on the late JJ Cale, Tom Petty hopefully in Southern accents style, Van Dyke Parks (not on Spotify no doubt),. The second week in September is killer: Robert Plant, Loudon Wainwright III, Ryan Adams and Karen O.
So buckle up folks, it’s gonna be a long lonely summer…
