LISTEN UP: Country, Bluegrass, But Mostly BluesHoly crap -- as sad as Hilly Kristal's death was, it's given birth to some of the best CBGB-themed blog posts in history. Check out these mp3s of Richard Hell and Elvis Costello playing together in 1978, The Beastie Boys covering "House of the Rising Sun" in 1982, and Nickelback covering the entire "Marquee Moon" album acoustically in 1984.

(The Music Slut) There's a cool live Grizzly Bear mp3 over at Gorilla vs Bear. I really wish it was a cover of "Bear Necessities." I can't believe I haven't listened to the new They Might Be Giants album yet. I guess I was too busy seeing "The King of Kong" to keep up with my nerd duties. (Here Comes The Flood) Glide Magazine has clips of the Top 10 Best Soundchecks ever recorded. You know the old mantra that "the only good part of any concert is the sound check?" I'm pretty sure that's an old mantra. I just remember some 50-year-old bald roadie telling me that once.
