MP3: Monolithic Cloud Parade - A New Ice Age I've always liked Corey Fry's Monolithic Cloud Parade project, so I'm sad to see the band go. But, as he sings in this mp3 from The Sea and Setting Sun , "Die die die, it's all gonna die." From the Facebook event page : This is the final show you will see Monolithic Cloud Parade play. Then we die. We will be playing all of the hits that you'll vaguely recognize unless you're the [...]

6am Repeat is a recurring feature here at Folk Hive in which we stream the latest track that plays incessantly in the earbuds when we awake at that hour and imbibe massive amounts of coffee and cigarettes in preparation for the advancing day. I didn't sleep well last night. Old age creeping in on me. But I'm not the type to get bent out of shape by little sleep. Little sleep means that in those hours of being half-awake and half-asleep, I am gifted with those odd dreams that one actually [...]
Click here to view the embedded video. MP3: A New Ice Age I don't know jack about CapcomMobile, but that commercial uses a snippet of Columbus band Monolithic Cloud Parade's track "A New Ice Age." It's kinda clever, but it'd be cooler if the zombie and a bunch of his zombie friends actually started eating people while the song kicks into the chorus and Corey Fry sings, "Die die die, it's all gonna die." This band got some undeserved battering locally when its [...]

(Separate Columbus list further down. Though, if the lists were combined, some of the local releases would unseat a few here...) 1. Larry Jon Wilson - Larry Jon Wilson I won't lie. Talking to Larry Jon and producer Jerry DeCicca (Black Swans) about this album, learning about its origins, and visiting Wilson's back catalog gave me a heightened appreciation for this masterpiece. So context helps, but even if you know nothing about the back story, this is a stark, beautiful album from start to finish [...]

Three Columbus bands are playing album-release shows on Friday night, and they're all worth mentioning/attending. At the Rumba Cafe, Brian Harnetty will be releasing Silent City , his second album for Chicago's Atavistic Records. This one again finds Harnetty mining the treasures he collected from the Berea College Appalachian Sound Archives, but this time Harnetty's instrumentation (accordion, bells, etc.) sets the tone for the songs. And floating above three of the tracks are the vocals of Bonnie "Prince" Billy. It's Harnetty's best work yet. Harnetty rarely plays live, [...]
