• My LastFM buddy Brian has a new music blog, and I think you should check it out. Small Things Stupid Packages debuted just over a week ago, and is off to a great start.

• Ear Fuzz posts a couple tracks from the late great jazz pioneer, Joe Zawinul.
• Gonzo’s Music-o-rama enters the realm of Ethiopian Jazz with a look at Ethiopiques, vol. 4.
• Ben at Deeper Shade of Soul gives us a killer Flaming Lips show from ‘99.
• Hidden Track passes along a link to a shiteous new song from shiteous comedian Dane Cook and Ann Wilson’s latest Zeppelin cover.
• Finally, get lost in one of Radio Free Wohlman’s podcasts – you’re cheating yourself if you don’t. Here’s a recent one featuring the Kinks, XTC, John Mayall, Jimi Hendrix, and a lot more.
