On Tuesday, Republican U.S. Senator Roger Wicker was put on protective detail after receiving a poison-laced piece of mail in the Capitol's off-site mail center, CNN reports . The Mississippi senator, serving his second term and with perhaps the most bland Wikipedia page we could imagine, does not serve on any high-stakes committees nor is he highly engaged in the battle for upcoming gun control legislation. More or less, he just looks like a 61-year-old dude with an affordable-looking haircut and a vague resemblance to Ferris Bueller's dad. [...]
Envelope & Jacoti Sommes ode to the bonding upside of the impending apocalypse, "We Are All Gonna Die Together" featuring The Catalyst is a classic Columbus record.

Video Premiere: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =GrM-U3LWrTE[/yout Fortuantley, the Reichard Brothers decided to produce a wonderful video for "We're All Gonna Die Together" that depicts what the global apocalypse would look like locally here in Columbus.

Click here to view the embedded video. Dear Donewaiting reader. I am sorry for posting 3 El-P related items in the past few days. While I historically have been a fan of Company Flow, and El's solo work I feel like without a disclaimer it may appear that I am dick rider and maybe even someone who should'nt be allowed to dress himself. I think it is called being a herb. But the above video has not been posted many places because New York is currently in a monsoon. Also [...]
Click here to view the embedded video. Killer Mike is playing Ace of Cups in Columbus, Ohio November 9th. Killer Mike's El-P produced album "R.A.P Music" is easily one of the best albums of the year as it captures both a down south everyman spirit with the bombastic conviction of early 902s Public Enemy. So this was already a good show. And it just got better as Envelope has been added as the local support. $13 in advance/$15 day of show [...]

People LOVE Mumford & Sons. A lot. The band played the Wexner Center's Black Box on the Mershon stage a couple years ago, then sold out the roughly 5,000 tickets for the outdoor version of the LC Pavilion. So Scott Steinecker, head of LC's parent company PromoWest, decided to turn the Aug. 14 show into a "festival setting," which meant renting a stage and turning the LC's parking lot into a venue that could hold roughly 10,000 people. And the Brits packed that lot, too, selling out double the LC's regular capacity. This was the scene: A fence [...]

I'll let Columbus Discount Records Bo Davis tell it: This is a benefit for the family of the lead singer/ songwriter/ bassist of the old Waverly, Ohio band, The Convalescents (with Bo Davis, Kris Moss and Jarrod Rodriquez).

ALL money made at this show (door and merch) will go directly to the family. $5 at the door.

Sub Rosa está por lanzar una compilación de Don Preston , uno de los músicos más trascendentes e innovadores de nuestra era, conocido por muchos como el padre de los sintetizadores modernos. Preston fue tecladista de Mothers of Invention (banda de apoyo de Frank Zappa ) participando en álbumes como Uncle Meat, We’re Only In it For The Money y Waka/Jawaka . Durante 1967, Preston grabó su primer material solista llamado Electronic , utilizando osciladores, filtros y sintetizadores caseros. Al poco tiempo se hizo amigo de otro ícono [...]

Unfortunately for all of us who have fallen in love with Chuck , we now grieve in the wake of the show's grand finale. But let's take some time to happily reminisce, and remember how he captured all of our hearts in the first place. NBC's Chuck is one of the few comedy-action-drama spy shows that will forever take your breath away, either by laughing too hard or the show's constant twists, turns, and cliffhangers. It followed the life of Chuck Bartowski (Zachary Levi), a "nerd-herd" computer whiz recruited by the CIA and NSA after all of [...]

30.Mobb Deep-Black Cocaine MP3: Mobb Deep- Conquer I like Houston rap as much as the next guy. But sometimes a man enjoys Henroc out of a stryofoam cup instead of lean and sprite. Prodigy is home, and he is voting for Ron Paul like some sort of Q-Boro Vince Gallo. While I am not voting for Ron Paul this EP knocks. 29.Clams Casino- Instrumental [...]
