Springsteen fans, if you haven’t already, you need to be heading over to ickmusic for an insane ****load of awesomeness. Pete’s been tossing up performances from the current Seeger Sessions Band tour right and left. As I write this, you can get “Ramrod” (5/12, Milan), “Bring Them Home (If You Love Uncle Sam)” (5/10, Paris), and the entire May 6 London performance.

Later: It must be Springsteen week. BigO Singapore just posted its Friday ROIO (Recordings of Indeterminate Origin) of the Week and it's the entire May 9 London performance, Live at LSO St Luke's

Bonus: Wayne Robins, early Creem and Rolling Stone rock critic, writes a hilarious alt-history of Springsteen: How It Might Have Been: The Early History of Bob Springs (aka Bruce Springsteen) and the Seeger Sessions
