Well, isn’t this bittersweet. After running the CMJ Marathon, I’m certainly exhausted, but I’m definitely sad to see it go. CMJ was so life encompassing that it’ll probably take me a week or so to adjust back to the normal day-to-day. If you happened to be standing by any door this week and I, out of habit, hand you my driver’s license and put my wrist out to be stamped, then I’d like to apologize in advance. Read Josh Johnson's report of CMJ's Day 5 here. - In the picture and Streaming: Black Wing Halo

Boston folk band and recent NE Band of the Month nominee (polls open through August 17th) Tallahassee is holding a mini festival to raise money for their next album. The “Talla-Galla Fund Raiser” takes place August 17th and 18th with a Tallahassee headlining show at TT the Bear’s Place and a Tallahassee carnival at the Heartbeat Collective, respectively. So if you want to hear a follow-up to 2011’s excellent “Jealous Hands,” then you’ll find yourself right at home at the Talla-Galla this weekend. Check out the event’s trailer, and stream “Jealous Hands” below. – Josh Johnson
