ReadJunk Playlist: March 2010 (St Patrick’s Day Edition)
It’s March and we all know what that means! St Patrick’s Day is right around the corner. This month’s ReadJunk Playlist is dedicated to Celtic and folk songs that will get you in the green spirit; and well for others the drinking spirit! This playlist is an easy one for me considering this is one of my favorite genres of music and something I listen to all year round. I’m not one of those phony “Kiss Me I’m Irish” people that breaks out their shirt and stupid green and white Mad Hater hat every year. Perhaps this playlist will give you a bit of a variety than just listening to Dropkick Murphys or Flogging Molly. Here we go!

Carbon Leaf’s Albany, NY show at The Egg has moved to April 16th (updated)
Carbon Leaf’s show tomorrow night (February 25th 2010) at the Egg in Albany,NY has been postponed due to the big ass blizzard heading our way right now. The show will be happening Friday April 16th now! I’m happy Carbon Leaf decided to postpone the show considering I didn’t feel like either eating the tickets or driving through a foot of snow. What’s the cost of a nice snow plow rental these days? Plus, the band might have a tough time getting from Rochester to Albany, where they are playing tonight I believe? You can also see Carbon Leaf play in Teaneck, NJ on April 17th if you can’t make it to the Albany show.

Matt’s Year in Review 2009
It’s that time of year for everyone to reflect on 2009, and look back at what was great and what wasn’t. Now, it’s my turn. You may see some similarities in lists but whatever, I tried to switch it up. I didn’t get in depth as much as Bryan or Tom’s List but this is what I thought stood out for me in this roller coaster of a year. Have a look at my list, after the jump!

Stephen Kellogg & the Sixers and Carbon Leaf – Bowery Ballroom, NYC
Date: November 28th 2009
For the last 3 years, Stephen Kellogg and the Sixers have played New York City on Thanksgiving weekend. I decided to check out their show since one of my favorite bands was opening for them, Carbon Leaf. The bands played over 2 nights at Bowery Ballroom. I wasn’t going to dare New York City traffic on Black Friday so I decided to attend the Saturday show instead. Of course there was still some traffic on the George Washington Bridge (like usual).

Carbon Leaf announce co-headlining tour with Stephen Kellogg and the Sixers
Carbon Leaf is quickly proving that they are one of the hardest working, touring bands in the country right now.

Carbon Leaf – “Nothing Rhymes With Woman”
Record Label: Vanguard Records
Genre: Folk Rock
Band Link: www.carbonleaf.com
Buy on Amazon.com
Carbon Leaf’s latest album on Vanguard Records might take you a few listens to really enjoy it. But after that, you’ll realize the band have outdone themselves yet again. The folk rock band from Virginia has two new members, but it’s hardly noticeable. I think that’s a good thing because the new guys have fit right in. “Nothing Rhymes With Woman” is more in line with “Indian Summer” and “Love, Loss, Hope, Repeat” than their earlier, celtic/folkier albums; which is fine by me. I think from “Indian Summer” and onward the band has grown and matured as a band. This is further evidence that Carbon Leaf is one of the best touring folk rock bands around.
