Reuniting for the first time in 20 years to celebrate the eighth year of Columbus Discount Records' existence, the True Believers are: Mike Rep Tommy Jay The General Nudge Squidfish Carla Lust I'll spare you my own version of the True Believers' back story and instead point you to a description (complete with Amrep corrections) here and a 2005 interview with Mike Rep . Suffice it to say, it's a pretty big deal that these guys (and girl) are reuniting in two days. Leave it to CDR. [...]
Tomorrow night (Friday, 7/1) Times New Viking will play its last Columbus show of the year, which bums me out. But, a roast hosted by none other than Ron House (Great Plains, Thomas Jefferson Slave Apartments) should add some levity to the evening. House's band, Psandwich , will also play (full-length coming soon), as will kindred spirits Mike Rep and Tommy Jay . If I didn't have to travel out of town, there is no way I'd miss this. Details, tickets here .
It's that time of year again, when grilling meat, arm wrestling, and indie rock somehow end up together in awkward sentences (like this one). This weekend is the seventh annual Columbus Discount Records BBQ, where the local label shares the wealth and gives you a wealth of local/international talent to gaze upon for as free as possible. This year's version of the tradition entails two star-studded rock shows (Friday night at The Summit and Saturday night at Carabar) as well as a multi-faceted get-together Saturday afternoon at CDR HQ (corner of Oak and Parsons, just up [...]
MP3 : Moses Carryout (Ron House) - 20 or 30 People They're always there/They're everywhere I go They're the 20 or 30 people that I know We go to talk/We go to dance And when we get real bored we listen to the band We argue some/We never fight We wonder if we're drunk or something's happening tonight This song has been implanting itself in my morning bedhead ever since I started listening to Blind Boy in the Backseat , the Ron House [...]

"Let's do it for Santa Claus. I'm doin' this one for Santa Claus." -- Tom, sending the tentpole up to the North Pole "Why do all those guys have that meathead helmet ? He looks like Tim Blake Nelson if you dropped like eight pounds of hair on his head." -- Tom, performing a transplant from the Illinois thug to the less-endowed character actor [More to come.] "And then Bryan Adams came on doin' 'Reggae Christmas' and all H-ell would break l-oose." -- PBR, setting the wild scene inside [...]
WFMU presents Selected Sounds from the Free Music Archive vol. 1 . This compilation previews 21 of the thousands of tracks that'll be freely available under Creative Commons licenses when the fully interactive Free Music Archive website launches this November. We're working with a group of fellow curators to fill the library with great music, and this sampler represents a piece of what WFMU brings to the table. We'll be handing out free copies of the CD at the July 4th Sonic Youth/Feelies show (we're lending special support as [...]
The great state of Ohio has raised legends. Cleveland's known for hall-of-famers Pere Ubu and the Electric Eels. Dayton nurtured Kim Deal and Bob Pollard. And from its well-situated spot in between those two cities, the state capital of Columbus is starting to have some sort of cohesive musical identity thrust upon it. What with NME and MTV creaming on Times New Viking and Psychedelic Horseshit. Not to say it's undeserved - I think their excellent live sets in the WFMU studios ( TNV ) ( PHS ) are testament enough. What follows is a sampling - [...]
