Blurt July Digital Magazine Is Here!

NEW ISSUE OF BLURT DIGITAL MAGAZINE FEATURES CALEXICO, GEORGE CARLIN, NEIL YOUNG, GARY PANTER, DR. DOG

Blurt it out loud: Look over at the right hand side of our homepage: we've got the July-August issue of BLURT’s digital magazine ready for consumption!

Did we mention it's FREE?

Along with cover boys Calexico we’ve got features on Dr. Dog, Gary Panter, Neil Young and the late, great comedian George Carlin, along with in-depth coverage of Giant Sand, Aimee Mann, Teddy Thompson, Sharon Little, Wolf Parade, the Weather Underground, Sub Pop’s Green River & the Fluid and tons more — if you ever wondered what pint-sized metalhead Ronnie James Dio has in common with pint-sized actress Rhea Perlman, or what exactly might turn up in that book of prose that Ryan Adams is planning for next year, BLURT’s got the scoop for ya. Ten pages of up-to-the-minute CD, Book and DVD reviews round things out.

This new digital issue will offer vastly improved navigation and videos as well as the ability to download individual pages as printer-friendly PDFs.

Meanwhile, back at Blurt-online.com we’ve been adding content on a daily basis: a least five fresh CD reviews (Black Kids, Street Dogs, Forward Russia, Benji Hughes, Joshua James, The Baseball Project and The Anniversary all just went live); concert reviews galore (recently: the Hold Steady, Elf Power, Sigur Ros, Avett Brothers and Liz Phair); breaking news items about rockers, mockers, bawlers and brawlers (what's up with that Long Ryders reunion? that Johnny Rotton-Bloc Party fracas this past weekend?); exclusive website-only features and interviews, an estimable roster of blogs from various music industry professionals and some of your favorite musicians -- including songwriter Todd Snider, whose tongue-in-cheek blog entry will appear this week. 

We’ve also got free music you can listen to on our BLURT Radio player — just added are new  tracks from Jennifer O’Connor, Shannon McArdle and Cassettes Won’t Listen — alongside free video content (much of it filmed exclusively for BLURT) in our BLURT TV section, including the recently-uploaded Benji Hughes’ “The Mummy,” Teddy Thompson’s “In My Arms” and Fleet Foxes’ “White Winter Hymnal.”

All that and more is yours for free, from BLURT magazine and Blurt Online. Why? Because we care, gentle readers, we care.
