The publicists working for the Louisville Science Center are doing triple and quadruple duty plugging the “Guitar: The Instrument That Rocked the World” exhibit. There have been features in the C-J, on various TV shows, on this blog (here, here and here), in Louisville Music News and now in LEO. Peter Berkowitz does the honors.

The last half of December is a very quiet period for music in Louisville, since most road acts have headed home for the holidays. Things won’t pick up much until after the New Year, so now is when everybody starts scrambling for end-of-year lists of some sort, including Louisville-connected bloggers. Here are several so far:
- You Ain’t No Picasso picked My Morning Jacket’s Circuital for No. 1.
- Kris King of Louisville Pod for the the top five, with Skyscraper Stereo’s Homeboi’s In Outer Space going to No. 2 and MMJ’s Circuital taking the No. 1 spot.
- The Decibel Tolls has Top 30 list, with several Louisville-area groups making the cut, including Phantom Family Halo & Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy, Natives and Nerves Junior.

Considering how often “Kentucky” appears in bluegrass songs, it’s only reasonable to bring the IBMA back to Louisville, Kentucky. Watch the video, go sign the petition.
