Musical Wednesdays: Nerdy Links

My friends Kevin Mead and Travis Helwig have a mixtape!

The Mountain Goats finally take a stand against Justin Beiber. I should probably note that I'm not entirely sure what a Justin Beiber is, but I think I'm going to agree with the creator of this website.

I really love the "Book Notes" feature over on Largehearted Boy. Music is such an important part of how I work, and I like to see what other writers put on the playlists for their work.

And finally...not nerdy, but completely awesome: Oh Boy Records is putting out a John Prine cover album featuring the Avett Brothers, Justin Vernon, Conor Oberst and many other great artists. It'll be available June 22nd.
