by BBG Old Baby Evan Patterson will step out of his role as honcho for Young Widows to front Old Baby , a new project featuring members that have served time with Slint, Shipping News, Phantom Family Halo, and many other projects. The band's new LP, entitled Misunderstanding Human Behavior , is due via Hawthorne Street at the end of February. Check out "Pale as Man" streamable below. The band will celebrate [...]
If the name Brent Green and the Wex sound familiar in the same sentence , it's because you probably followed my advice and went to see "Gravity Was Everywhere Back Then" last August. This charmingly awkward and ominously tragic film is based on the life of Leonard Wood, a Louisville hardware store clerk who renovates his house into what he believes to be a "healing machine" to keep his terminally ill wife alive. It is Green's first venture into the full-length feature world (an impressive one at that) AND he built a full-sized replica of this [...]
During my freshman year of college, I was constantly strapped for cash. It wasn't like I was poor—money had been set aside for my first semester that was to be used for food and books—but my mother made the mistake of telling me that I could spend whatever money I had left over at the [...]

My man Jeff Mueller has had three seminal bands that were/are all vastly unappreciated: Rodan, June of 44, and the still-active Shipping News. Each of these groups had their own individual sound, but in a way one can trace the evolution of common member Mueller from one to the next. Save Everything, Shipping News' excellent [...]
A meno di una settimana dall'uscita del nuovo album Shipping News ( One Less Heartless To Fear, disco dell'anno a prescindere ), troviamo Jason Noble impegnato con due vecchi amici dei Rachel's ( Christian Frederickson e Greg King ) nel progetto The Young Scamels . I tre si sono ritrovati nel 2008 per sonorizzare uno spettacolo teatrale, quindi hanno deciso di proseguire insieme sino a realizzare " The Tempest ", lavoro uscito per File 13 . Al trio di gran classe si aggiungono l'altro Shipping News (e collaboratore di [...]
![[Local Anesthesia] Shipping News and Brother Stephen](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2957790_lg.jpg)
The past couple of months has seen some incredible music coming out of the Derby City. Here are two artists that maintain some serious spin in our rotation, the legendary Shipping News, and the sophisticated vintage folk of Brother Stephen... It's damn near impossible to discuss Louisville music these days without talking about Jason Noble, crucial member of post-rock legends Rodan and Rachel's. It's also difficult not to discuss Jason's struggle with cancer the past few years. However, Jason's fight provides an extra sense of urgency and triumph [...]
Ear Xtacy will host their first Record Store Day at the new location in style. The event will include in-store performances as well as exclusive releases which will only be available at independent record stores and only on November 26. That's right, the day after Thanksgiving also known as Black Friday. I may have to break my tradition of not leaving my house on Black Friday to pick up some of these titles and check out what promises to be some great [...]
OMG, you guys, for the first time in my 27 years…I puked as a result of drinking. It happened early this morning, or so I hear, I was blacked out at the time. The last thing I remember was playing an intense best-of-13 series of flip cup with two teams of seven drinkers. After that, your guess is as good as mine. I discovered today that I was "incoherent" (according to Ken), that I stole the handle off a child's tricycle, and gifted it to a sleeping Nicci right before I threw up and passed out on her bathroom floor. [...]
Shipping News will release a new LP/CD called "One Less Heartless To Fear" this November. The band has jettisoned the long songs (and glacial tempos) of the past and is concentrating on energetic blasts of noisy rock (with a little gallows humor thrown in). Working...
afternoon! well, this is a bit of a surprise! a good surprise at that, but still a surprise. louisville's shipping news is putting out a new record this novemeber 16 called one less heartless to fear which features 7 new tracks and two older tracks recorded live. for the uninitiated, shipping news and their various offshoots and relations which include rodan, slint, the four carnation, june of 44, etc are pretty much responsible for the whole math rock, post punk explosion that happened in the 902s and continues today. me thinks you would be hard press to find [...]

The latest installment of Burn to Shine , the ongoing film project between Christoph Green and Brendan Canty (ex-Fugazi), hosts its world premiere tomorrow night in Louisville at the Kentucky Center for the Arts. Burn to Shine is a innovative documentary that films performances by a slew of legendary artists from a particular locale inside a condemned home slated for demolition. The result is a statement on the American city - its life, culture, triumphs, and failures. The past films took place in Washington DC, Chicago, Portland, and Seattle, with an Atlanta installment forthcoming. Louisville's Burn to Shine will [...]

Gli Shipping News nascono mentre i June of 44 sono ancora vivi, vegeti ed arroganti nel far impallidire il resto del mondo. E' il 1996 quando Jeff Mueller e Jason Noble (immerso nel classicismo dei Rachel's) decidono di tornare insieme, dopo aver già generato- uniti- il solo disco seminale di una band altrettanto seminale [...]
In 1979, the Peoples' Republic of China publicly reported that several thousand of its children aged 8-14 were capable of telepathy, clairvoyance, X-ray vision, or psychokinesis. Having already heard about this program, the Central Intelligence Agency, National Security Agency, Defense Intelligence Agency, Lawrence Livermore Laboratories, and the US Army were simultaneously pouring billions of dollars into their own similar research. The Army program was headquartered at Fort Meade, Maryland, and was part of the Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM). Leaders included Generals Edmund Thompson and Albert Stubblebine, and Colonel John Alexander. The First Earth Battalion was [...]
