If you missed the Cropped Out Fest (or didn’t and want to refresh your memory), the folks at Friday Night Somewhere have assembled a video of interviews and performances from the festival. Thanks to Never Nervous for the tip.

We’ve neglected this round-up of free ticket offers for a bit; winter is rather slow for that kind of thing. However, here’s the current crop:
- WQMF has free tickets to see Jimmy Buffett on March 3. Likewise tickets for the Red Hot Chili Peppers
- WQMF also has an Air Guitar contest to win front row seats to see Van Halen.
- WTFX The Fox hasfree tickets to see Nickelback, Bush and Seether. There are also free tickets to see Pusifer at the Brown, as well as free tickets to see Jane’s Addiction at the Palace.
Remember to sign up often.
New Albany photographer C. Michael Stewart, whose Scene and Heard blog frequently features his photos, has several of his concert photos on display as part of the Guitar! The Instrument That Rocked The World exhibit at the Louisville Science Center. He also got a nice write-up at the News And Tribune.com blog, website of the New Albany Tribune and Jeffersonville Tribune newspapers. Stewart is also a longtime supporter of the Musicians Emergency Resource Foundation (MERF) through his printing business, Voluforms.
The Tunesmiths are using an ordinary method – not crowdfunding a la Kickstarter but rather plain old asking – begging, if you will – to raise money to record an album with Kevin Ratterman at the Funeral Home. If you’d like to help, surf on over to http://helpthetunesmithsmakearecord.bbnow.org/index.php and follow the instructions. Hey, whatever works.

All in the February issue of LMN, now available around the city.
