Hey Everyone,

Maybe you saw someone leak the news on Twitter this past Sunday, followed by me officially announcing it, but the BlowUpRadio.com Guitar Pull is coming back for another season.

Guitar Pull - A term used to described an informal get together of songwriters to test new material on each other, play each others' songs, and party.

In the spirit of this, we get three singer-songwriters (both solo artists & singer-songwriters from bands that play solo for this) together to hang out here, play some songs, and talk about music.

As you can hear on previous Guitar Pulls (https://blowupradio.tripod.com/guitarpull.html) we keep a very loose vibe on this and don’t have any preconceived expectations as to what will happen. Each guitar Pull has taken on its own vibe.

I will announce the air date for the first BlowUpRadio.com Guitar Pull of 2013 soon.

if anyone is interested in being part of a BlowUpRadio.com Guitar Pull, e-mail me.

The BlowUpRadio.com Free Concert Series @ Buddie’s Tavern will return February 9th with Zigman Bird, Jack Brag, and Christian Beach!

Buddie's Tavern is located at 277 Johnsons Lane, Parlin (Sayreville), NJ

Lazlo’s Corner

Some albums I’ve listened to recently that you need to hear include two great power pop rock albums

The AV Club – ‘believe’ (out on 2/5) http://theavclubmusic.bandcamp.com/album/believe
Two Hours Traffic – ‘foolish blood’ (out on 2/19) http://twohourstraffic.com

Both albums had me feeling good, singing along, and playing air guitar. Is there any greater reason to listen to an album than for pure giddy enjoyment? I think not.

Two Hours Traffic also plays Kung Fu Necktie in Philly on 3/7.

If you are more into Phil Spector’s work with female singers back in the day, definitely check out the new free EP from Ambrosia Parsley – ‘I miss you. I do.’ It is a joy to listen to and you can download it right here: https://blowupradio.tripod.com/mp3s/ambrosia.html Speaking of free, Jason The First has released two new acoustic songs that add harmonica into his ever progressing solo-ish side project (he is the drummer/singer in The Break Evens). Download “gift” & “1032” here: https://blowupradio.tripod.com/mp3s/jtf.html

Have you been following me on Twitter (@Lazlo_BUR) and seeing me retweet posts from Jonathan Coulton about how Glee stole his unique and original cover of Sir Mix-A-Lot’s “baby got back”?
A good article on the issue is here: http://www.wired.com/underwire/2013/01/jonathan-coulton-glee-song/
New Jersey’s own, Devo Spice, had a little fun and did his own parody, “JoCo got Jacked”. It’s pretty witty and funny. Download it for free here: http://www.thefump.com/fump.php?id=1650
You can download Jonathan Coulton’s cover of “baby got back”, with all money raised through the end of February going to charity, here: http://www.jonathancoulton.com/2013/01/26/baby-got-back-glee-style/

And remember, friends don’t let friends watch glee.
