New music-related web sites crop up on a regular basis, some of them about Louisville music, but they’re tricky to find, generally requiring a reference from a third source. Today’s new spot is the Probably Not podcast, which is billed as “Probably Not: The Game Show That Solves All Of Your Problems!” Various Louisville bands have been guests, including, most recently Karate Body Records artists The Fervor, Julie Of The Wolves and The Trust.
Billy Petot of Whistle Peak has put together a mixtape of favorites from Louisville and Lexington. It’s posted at Culture Castle; the tracklist looks like this:
1. Bro. Stephen – Tears on Tape | Louisville, KY
2. Matt Duncan – Lone Ranger | Lexington, KY

4. The Deloreans – Call off the Pain | Louisville, KY

He left out Houndmouth, Rachel Grimes, Will Oldham, My Morning Jacket, Ben Sollee and Daniel Martin Moore because, he says, you are already familiar with them. No doubt, you could add to the list.
Sloucher.org, which had a review of The Fervor’s Arise, Great Warrior a while back, squeezed in an interview with the band’s Ben Felker.
The website Music In Belgium has a list of the top CDs in 2011 and The Fervor’s Arise, Great Warrior comes in at number 5. I confess that my French is non-existant, so I really can’t tell you what they have to say about the CD but you can go read it yourself.
Karate Body Records is pleased to announced that The Fervor, The Ravenna Colt and Shipping News all made the cut for the Best Of 2011 at a British website called Sloucher.com. So did My Morning Jacket, although they are not on KBR, of course.
Karate Body’s The Fervor’s Arise, Great Warrior, and The Big Eyes Family Players’ Family Favorites were both reviewed on the music blog Kemptation.com
Karate Body Records is understandably upbeat about the news that the title track from The Fervor’s Arise, Great Warrior, will get played on BBC Radio 6 Music’s Tom Robinson’s show “Fresh on the Net” this Sunday from 1-3 p.m. GMT. Kudos to the guys.
