J. L. Puckett really earned his paycheck this week, with a Features cover story on Cheyenne Marie Mize, playing Headliners on Saturday; a piece on Dick Sisto’s last shows at the Seelbach Jazz Bar; Jane Monheit at the Ogle Center; a longish preview of Kathleen Edwards’ show at Headliners; a blurb about Homefront’s fundraiser at River Bend Winery; a blurb about the Acoustic Cafe show featuring Carrie Rodriquez in Lexington (it was at Uncle Slayton’s last night); a blurb about the Anthrax show at Expo 5 and a Road Trip blurb about Jukebox the Ghost in Cincinnati. Betcha he spends his weekend with his fingers in an ice pack…
The story about Bonnie “Prince” Billy’s coffee brand, which we reported on here, has made the national music press, including Pitchfork and Paste Magazine but not Rolling Stone (yet).

Naturally, everybody is all over the news that My Morning Jacket will a.) play the Saturday night headliner slot at Forecastle Fest and b.) help “curate” the event, although exactly what that means isn’t completely clear. The first batch of tickets go on sale Friday. The C-J’s story is straight-up journalism, with pictures. Chris Ritter at Louisville.com opened with a tongue-in-cheek (mostly) sentence evoking the “end of days” and bomb drops. Peter Berkowitz has a misleading headline -”Is My Morning Jacket Breaking Up?” – to entice readers to his Bluegrass Catastrophe post.
Here’s the official announcement video:
Apparently Will Oldham’s dopelganger of Bonnie “Prince” Billy has his own blend of coffee, which you can purchase for $20 at the Drag City website. The best part might be the description that comes with it:
“Overtones of chocolate, leather and non-wacky tobaccy pair favorably with Wolfroy Goes To Town, available for purchase here of courses, or fresh muskmelons, for which we recommend that you contact your local free-range melon farmer.”
