A Fuzzy Theme: Lo-Fi Ohio Bands
Ohio is arguably the best state in the union for underground, lo-fi, DIY, poppy, rock bands. Allow me to illustrate with three appropriate examples. This post has: 3 Images 4 MP3's

Woke up. Felt slightly chirpy until I realized that I'm Evan LeVine, tortured author and mega-rich Internet cewebrity. I don't know about you (in fact, I don't even know you!), but I find there to be nothing more exhilarating than partaking in citizen journalism . Ever since CNN switched their website to a Web 2.0 format, I've had countless opportunities to send them feedback about their news stories. Okay, so none of my responses have ever been published on their website. I guess maybe it has something to do with my bawdy sense [...]

For a brief period at the height of hippiedom, "never trust anyone over 30" was one of the favorite aphorisms of young Americans. To be sure, it constituted one of the more detailed pronouncements of a generation that pioneered theretofore uncharted usages of "like," "I mean," and "you know," and tended to gravitate to catch-phrases like "out of sight" and "too much" and "far out" rather than outright sentences. An obvious exception is Timothy Leary's "tune in, turn on and drop out," but no one ever took credit for "never trust anyone over 30." Probably because he or she turned [...]

While recently buying gum at a local convenience store, I noticed the clerk at the cash register had the most incredible white-head pimple on his chin. It made me swoon, this pimple. Honestly, I was almost weak in the knees, made delirious with desire and envy. It took every ounce of my mighty, masculine strength to resist reaching up, grabbing that chin in my hands and squeezing! squeezing! squeezing! until the money shot enveloped me in its greasy bodily payday fluids. The euphoria of zapping that zit would have been similar to the unbridled [...]

Warped Reality (online) is now a year old! For my last post of the year , I'm posting a few favorites from 2006. This is by no means a comprehensive list —it's highly subjective group of songs that caught my ear this year. Conspicuously missing: new stuff from Matt Elliot, the Konki Duet, Kristin Hersh (her new album will be out in 2007), Les Georges Leningrad, Michael Dracula (posted here earlier this year), HNIA, Edison Woods, Psapp and Beirut. Hopefully I'll get to them in 2007! Best wishes for a wonderful 2007! [...]

I should have known. It was a crime of hubris, posting twice in one week.Thinking I had a whole, say, five days leeway? And look at me, slinking back here with a half-assed post twelve (TWELVE!) days later. For shame! To compensate (?!) I give you two songs that BARK. (Or growl, in the case of Pere Ubu.) Multi-headed all-singing, all-girl percussion hydra Pulsallama evidently did more cat-fighting than composing during their brief heyday. But brilliant one-off "The Devil Lives In My Husband's Body" more than lives up [...]

Pere Ubu, "Nonalignment Pact" Pere Ubu, "Real World" Pere Ubu are a name often referenced, rarely discussed and listened to. I always think of them like great European authors or foreign directors, shibboleths for pseudo-intellectuals and snobs to exclude. They're one of those bands who are played like a trump card, a name that has a level of obscurity and difficulty to make others feel stupid and unknowing. I remember coming across their name often, usually as some reference [...]

... I think it has to do with the nature of visual memory. Not only do I remember photographs better than I remember moving images. But what I remember of a movie amounts to an anthology of single shots. I can recall the story, lines of dialogue, the rhythm. But what I remember visually are selected moments that I have, in effect, reduced to stills. It's the same for one's own life. Each memory from one's childhood, or from any period that's not in the immediate past, is like a still photograph rather than a strip of [...]
