Things from other blogs

From C-Notes, via I Rock Cleveland: After earlier canceling his appearance at a Dennis Kucinich fundraiser, Sean Penn showed up with Kucinich at the Beachland Ballroom for the Wussy/Ringworm show, appearing on stage to introduce Ringworm. The show was a fundraiser for WJCU, John Carroll University's radio station. If you want to check out this surreal affair, C-Notes says, "the concert will be broadcast free on YeboTV.com on Saturday, March 1. The show will run continuously from 7 a.m. to midnight."

Jess Harvell has been whiling away his remaining days as Idolator's senior editor by frequently updating his Tumblr. It's occasionally interesting stuff; who knew working for Denton Media could take such a toll on one's psyche? (Ok, probably plenty of people.) Blog angst! Anyway, yesterday he posted this link. It must be seen to be believed.

Finally, Raven Sings The Blues has a post today about Valley sludgefeasters Witch. I've seen them twice in Brattleboro over the past few months, and each time they've put on a good show, despite subpar venue sound that's rendered the vocals inaudible. On March 20th they're visiting Northampton for a sweet Spring Break gig at The Elevens.
