Music links from the old page...

Still working to catch up on things and post up links here so I can let the old page die a reasonable death...so, my favorite music links...
Pollstar.com
Best search engine for concerts. Search by artist, city, or venue. See who's coming your way or where your favorite artists are gonna be.
About the Beatles
Never know when you'll need to know something about the Beatles, and this is the best site I've found for that.
AllMusic.com
I'm probably here at least once a day to look up a song or artist. They review nearly every album, give a bio of the artist, and even provide discources on many of the greatest songs.
Gemm.com
Whether it's in print or out, a CD or an LP, you'll be able to buy it here. Collection of individual music dealers.
Yonder Mountain String Band
Wonderful bluegrass/jam band with strong ties to Cincy. See 'em when they come through your town.
Ashley MacIsaac
Canadian/celtic/electronica combo through this fiddler who has largely stopped touring the US. I saw him open for the Chieftans a number of years back and have picked up each of his albums since. Good stuff.
U2
Well, it's U2, in't it? Edging toward being one of the greatest bands of all time. Musically relevant for a longer time than the Beatles, more willing to experiment than the Stones.
Richard Thompson
I wish more people knew about this guy, one of the great songwriters and guitarists still working. The tone tends to be a downer, but the music he's making is amazing, and he's at the absolute top of his game - looking forward to Front Porch Ballads.
Wilco
This is it, this is them. Best band working today, my favorite. Amazing, simply stunning. Great live and on CD.
