New! Nyles Lannon interview, Buck O'Neil and more ...

Today's big post is our interview with Nyles Lannon of n.Lannon and Film School. It's a great interview, and n.Lannon's 2004 album Chemical Friends really deserved more attention that it received. To read it, click on the link on the home page or on interviews link.

Since we are still playing catch up from last week we have one more interview in the cue that will go up this week. And a handful interviews to get to several artists who agreed to an interview before the whole laptop misadventure. Additional, we have at least a half dozen pending interviews pending.

If you enjoy this reading the interviews and reviews on this site, we'd love it if you'd pass our site on to a friend, drop us an e-mail or leave a comment on this blog section. We know you are reading the site (we check the numbers every morning) but we'd love to know exactly who you are and/or where you're located.

At DeadJournalist.com, we love music. We love other things, too. And as we move into Fall and Winter we want to bring you content that you enjoy or you hate or you just want to check out. That's our goal. And along the way we hope to improve and build upon our site. This site is more about a passion for music (and other things) than uber-clean copy, free of misspellings and grammatical screw-ups.

We wrote a piece on Buck O'Neil, the Negro League great who was shockingly obmitted from the Baseball Hall of Fame this past year. At 94, he's spend most of the last three decades keeping the memory of the Negro League alive. Sadly, he has his hospitalized for extreme exhaustion. Here's hoping he pulls through - and here's hoping somehow baseball will right the wrong and make a special induction for this great man before it is too late.

Over a year ago, The National released an amazing album that stayed in the car CD player for at least six months. Here's the video for "Lit Up" from that album.



As a bonus, some time back (was it April?) we expressed a lot of love for the band Love Is All, so here's the video to "Busy Doing Nothing".
