Slow down baby!! Ladies love cool Action Bronson so   him   and  Harry Fraud   go on a rampage with "Strictly 4 My Jeeps" to remind everyone that Bronson   is a legend in his home town . DJ Enuff premiered this today on Hot 972s Heavy Hitters Show and now you get to listen to it. ( noisey )

Though a coincidence - a tour date in Columbus a day after their 7th album is released - you can pretend like Mice Parade's show at The Tree Bar on Wednesday night is a CD release party. Candela 's a great late-night listen - layers of sounds filling each song leading some to label Mice Parade as a shoegazer band. The hypnotic sway of the first single, "This River Has a Tide", doesn't prove contrary to this idea. [...]

I love the audacity of Cleveland's Brite Winter festival, the brainchild of Bad Racket Recording's Thomas Fox. On Saturday, Feb. 16, in the dead of winter, 48 bands will play outside on six stages. And it's all free. Here's how they explain it: There might be snow, there might be rain, it might be cold, it might be a blizzard, but it doesn’t really matter. This is Cleveland, and we’re going to play outside. Going on our fourth year, we’ve had more support than ever before, as our region has decided that [...]

Deville also typed up [...]

It is tight because it shows how Disco Dan's contribution to local culture helped lighten the mood in our Nation's Capital during the onslaught of the crack epidemic in the 802s.

(Photo: Alessandro Cortez) For well over a decade, Tim Pritchard has been a figure of Dayton, Ohio's historic music scene. These days, he's fronting a new folk-rock band called Tim Pritchard & The Boxcar Suite . The group recently released the gorgeous and plaintive It Shall Be Revealed  and is leaving the Gem City more and more. While The Boxcar Suite certainly possesses folk elements, the music steers clear of cliché methods employed by many in this camp. It Shall Be Revealed  is not trite Americana, but rather a collection of graceful songs [...]
