Louisville music scene honchos Scott Carney (Wax Fang) and Joe Manning , as well as the under-the-radar gem Saredren Wells will be performing at the Rudyard Kipling on November 14th. Details on the show are pretty cut-and-dry from the flyer. Starts at 8 pm, $5 cover (steal of a deal for these famed locals), rinse, repeat. So be there, and I will proceed to give you a myriad of reasons why you should do so. The Rudyard Kipling is one of the most important institutions in the city of Louisville. There [...]

The Swear : Graveyard Songs Immediate confession: For the longest time, in my wallet, I carried around a guitar pick I had thrown at me the first time I ever saw Atlanta rock band The Swear live. It was a gale-force surprise of a show, them being tapped for a last-minute opening slot when my friend and I were head-first into our crush on "where are they now?-indie band edition" boy/girl band The Subways. Suffice to say, The Swear crushed all bands that came before and after. I remember [...]

You can tell that Spring is right around the corner. Nope it isn't wishful thinking, just look at all of the upcoming shows. Bands don't like to come here in the Winter so it must be almost Spring, right? On Thursday, I have a networking thing so if I can get out for music, it'll be the Cantab (although I've seen Darker My Love and they are really good live, hmmmm... a dilemma). On Friday the big show is at Church with some great local bands. There's also the Harpoon St Pat's Festival and beer [...]

I can't believe that February is almost over, does that mean spring is right around the corner? On Thursday you could check out some pop sounds from the Pacific Northwest with Blitzen Trapper or the mesmerizing sounds of Juana Molina from Argentina. On Friday check out the show at the Plough and Stars for a little soul and R&B. On Saturday there are a few good choices. There's the roller derby match in Wilmington and then you can stay for the music of Slim Jim and the Mad Cows or the Swirlies reunion or some fun cover music at the [...]

And You Said You Wanted To Go Back To The Island by Dick Cheney For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. - John 3:16 Life is full of important questions. Jack Shephard is the biggest control freak I know, so he has to take on the vast majority of life's crucial queries. For example - if an Arab of indeterminate [...]
"We Shall Not Be a Party to Their Counsel!" As human beings, we are shocked and appalled at the mass destruction unleashed by the State of Israel against the people of Gaza in its military operation, following years of Israeli occupation, siege, and deprivation. As Americans, we protest the carte blanche given Israel by the US government to pursue a war of "national honor," "restoring deterrence," "destroying Hamas," and "searing Israel's military might into the consciousness of the Gazans." As progressives, we reject the same justifications for the carnage that [...]
I was on 20th Street at the time, two and a half miles from Ground Zero. I went into my office and everyone was in the conference room watching the events unfold on television. All of my co-workers were horrified and many were weeping.

All photos: Robert Jacobs Get Ponytail's entire set at Beatbots A/V Club! Compression have been around for a while (1993 to be exact). To quote front-man Greg Scelsi "probably before most of you could drive." They started the night on a solid, forceful note. Being the first hardcore (with plenty of metal flavorings) band I've probably seen in about a year, I can say they have a fury about them. Their sound is a truly [...]
