MP3: BLOW! - Attention MP3: Dead Leaf Echo - Half-Truth Woodlands Tavern probably isn't the first place you'd expect to see a festival spawned by Columbus shoegaze band Love Culture, but the band's drummer, Robert Fischer, got the idea after noticing the venue's two-stage setup. He started talking about the idea with friends and bandmates, who all pitched in. Says Fischer: "As much as I love all of our local festivals, the lineups are almost exclusively Columbus bands. While this festival is still heavy on the locals (10 [...]

Pictured: Puscifer@LC Look, Life really is what you make it and as dumb and silly and boring and rehashed and cliche as that sounds, that's the way the cookie crumbles brother. I really have been on a pretty intense YEAH! LIFE! YEAH! IT IS COOL! don't sweat the small stuff kinda trip and it's great. Let's hang out, I will make you LOL. Life's to short to be boring and stupid. Everyone should be cool and fun instead. Life should be more Celestine Prophecy and less 48 Laws of Power. Gnome sayin? I totally [...]
mp3: Blastronauts - Even the Score If you're not headed down to Nelsonville for Yo La Tengo on Thursday night , you'd do well to check out Blastronauts ' release show at Oldfield's on High , a venue that's had some better shows recently thanks to Blastronauts main man James Allison, who started booking a Thursday night lineup under the name Outer Sounds (and now occasionally records some of those bands and posts songs to stream at the Outer Sounds website ). The new EP, Galileo , [...]
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, [...]
The original plan Monday night was to check out the Cave Singers and Golden Boots, both slated to open for Dr. Dog at the Basement, then skip the headliner and shoot up north to see San Diego buzz band Crocodiles take the stage at Cafe Bourbon Street. It's not that I dislike Dr. Dog. In fact, I quite enjoyed the Philadelphia band's 2008 release, Fate . But I saw them at CD101 Summerfest last year and they didn't blow me away. Plus, the strength of Crocodiles' upcoming Fat Possum debut, Summer of Hate , coupled with [...]
Since I already gave away that Miranda Sound's self-titled record is my favorite of Columbus album of 2008, I figured I should post all top ten. So here they are, though after the top three the order itself doesn't mean a whole lot--some of these will switch spots with others, depending on the week, day or whatever mood I'm in. The point is, these are all great records. 2008 was a good year for Columbus music. (Links go to previous reviews.) 1. Miranda Sound - Miranda Sound 2. Times New Viking - [...]
Reviews of recent (and not so recent) Columbus albums: The Lost Revival - Homemade Confetti Let me first say that I'm way late on this one. The Lost Revival released its debut, Homemade Confetti , earlier this year, but it somehow passed me by. That band wasn't hiding under a rock, either. The seven-piece multi-instrumentalists have become known for their intense live shows, earning them a spot opening CD101's Summerfest this year. Homemade Confetti , which was apparently recorded in one weekend, doesn't [...]
