The 8th episode of my little TV show is now released. In this episode we do a show in Mechanicsburg, PA and our micro wave oven gets fried. We celebrate 4th of July white trash style in Pittsburg and play at an old mausoleum work shop with the great artists Emily Arin and Heward Howkins. Remember to share the episodes with your friends to keep them coming. It’s tons of work making every episode and I’m doing it all by myself on top of bookings, promotion, playing live and trying to keep things in shape on the tour. [...]
Kelis - 4th of July (Rusko Remix) This would be an appropriate track to drop if you were to have a DJ gig today. If you don't DJ, you could still play it on your iPod/iPhone speakers during your 4th of July festivities. Both Rusko and Calvin Harris' version are great adaptations of the original. No matter which one you go with I'm sure it'll audibly please yourself and your audience. Nativity

Tonight, Phish will play their fourth-ever Fourth of July show with this year's holiday performance taking place at Jones Beach, which has previously hosted the quartet 12 times.

Let's celebrate with a uniquely American music called Hardcore punk . [...]
To celebrate the 4th of July, Captain America takes over today's Rock it Out! Blog episode and asks the rock music query: what band is the best American band of all time? What band from the U.S.A beats out the many, many others that were created here? Leave a comment or a video response.

It's been a great 2012 so far for us at MOKB and we just want to thank everyone for taking time out of their days to check out the site. We look forward to continue bringing you the latest and greatest in music. From everyone at My Old Kentucky Blog, have a safe and happy 4th of July!

Hot Dogs. Twinkies. Bomb Pops. Delicious. America, you rock. For more reasons than your delicious, nutrition-less foods. Forget all the bullshit with politics and the economy. Celebrate. Shove a bomb pop in your mouth, lay back on a nice grassy hill and watch some fireworks... maybe even go out on a boat. Do any of these things, but supplement it with our AMERICA!! playlist and your day will get infinitely better. Why? Because what's better than some Bruce Springsteen , Neil Young and Woody Guthrie on a day like today. [...]

My ideal 4 th of July consists of a long weekend filled with BBQs, picnics, and a cold beer or fruity sangria (or both (but not together, ew)). Unfortunately, I’m no master brewer, so I won’t be teaching you how to make beer today, but I figured I’d equip you with the knowledge to conquer the other elements of a relaxing July 4 th . And should it be the case that you’re just getting started on your holiday plans right now, you’re in luck! Neither of these recipes involves much forethought (though they both benefit from it), so [...]

Today’s the Fourth of July Another June has gone by And when they light up our town I just think What a waste of gunpowder and sky - Aimee Mann I’m not sure when it happened. It was probably some time in my teens when my cadre of friends included one with pyromaniacal inclinations to such a degree that he and another friend brought home dynamite purchased in Tijuana during spring break. Things exploding accompanied by colorful flashes, once an annual treat of controlled carnage for the senses, was [...]

It's America's birthday next week, so it's more than appropriate to have a stellar Friday Five stacked with tracks just waiting to help lubricate your throats with the finest American beer you can find.

There are certain tracks that make day time festivities just that much more enjoyable, and I have included five below - some oldish, some newish - for your listening pleasure. America, Happy Birthday [...]

Grilled Burgers, Corona and a handful of all-American rock n roll were on the agenda for this year?s 4th of July celebration. The only Independence Day fixture mixing from this equation was fireworks, and due to unrelenting drought, Austinites would have to drive to a satellite community to participate in that tradition. The Spider House Café playe... Read More/Discuss on Metal Underground.com

Beyoncé What's more dazzling than a fireworks display on the 4th of July? A performance by Beyoncé , of course. The Queen B celebrated America's birthday with a heartfelt patriotic performance of "God Bless The USA" in front of the Statue of Liberty for Macy's 4th of July Fireworks Spectacular, which aired yesterday. Bey continued to light up the night by performing her new single, "Best Thing I Never Had," from her chart-topping album, 4 . See Bey's performances below:

Step aside, Chris Brown . There's a new pop star taking on the challenge of planking: Katy Perry. The now red-haired vixen tweeted a photo of herself jumping on the dangerous (and sometimes fatal ) Internet meme bandwagon with the caption #plankingonthe4th.
