Lucid Culture – New York Music Daily’s predecessor blog, where all classical, jazz and avant garde coverage continues to be archived
Mark Crispin Miller
The brilliant author, media scholar and social critic publishes the best news feed on the web, News From Underground. Absolutely essential and inspiring reading in these perilous times.
The Highwire – the best weekly news show on the web. Heavy on the science, but accessible to the average viewer. Host Del Bigtree is charismatic, hilarious and has been one of the most astute observers on the lockdown since it began
Tessa Lena – poet, historian, philosopher, visionary. She has a brilliant news blog, was one of the first to recognize the dangers of the lockdown, and also does a more-of-less monthly podcast, Make Language Great Again. Her tenacity and fearlessness will inspire you.
Adrienne Elise – light worker, professional demystifier, pro-freedom activist and empath. Her guided meditations and astrology videos are politically spot-on and incredibly inspiring, especially if you’re depressed.
The Tom Woods Show
Erudite, thoughtful, incredibly insightful news and commentary. Even if you don’t agree with everything this pro-freedom activist says, he always does his homework and will challenge you to reexamine your position.

what’s the chance of a reply?
I am searching for daytime weekday or early LIVE real music
Blues preferred
indoors in AUGUST in NYC
suggestions of where to search are welcomed
idea would be a little club like “my” local club in Tallahassee FL
The Bradfordville Blues Club
and if you are ever in town (that being Tallahassee FL) hope you will come out

If you like oldtime acoustic country blues, the Jalopy is your place. http://www.jalopy.biz
It’s actually a lot easier to get to than you might think – take the F train to Carroll St.
Will Scott, who’s probably the best and most eclectic electric blues guitarist in town, is at 68 Jay St Bar (just downhill from the York St. F train stop) at 10 on 8/11. Henry Butler, the New Orleans pianist opens for Steven Bernstein’s jazz orchestra at the Jazz Standard on the 20th through the 28th. 8/22 at midnight the rather creepy, harmonica-driven Stringbean & the Stalkers are at the Ear Inn. The raucous oldtimey Jessy Carolina & the Hot Mess are at Radegast Hall at 9 on 8/23; powerhouse electric player Bobby Radcliff is at Freddy’s on the 30th at 8.
Oldschool Chicago style blues guitarist Irving Louis Lattin has a lot of shows coming up. He’s at Terra Blues at 7 PM on 8/9, 8/12, 8/28 and 8/31 and at Lucille’s on Aug 10 and 24 at 8.
There are 3 fulltime blues bars in NYC. Terra Blues on Bleecker St., who have a revolving cast of local acts; Lucille’s, adjacent to B.B. King’s on 42nd St., which usually has a lot of annoying Clapton wannabes; and Paris Blues Bar on Adam Clayton Powell Blvd. and 121st St. in Harlem which doesn’t have a website but has a lot of surprisingly good, oldschool local acts. Links to the first two are at this blog’s sister site Lucid Culture.
