Periodically, an exciting release slips past the entire Citizen Dick staff, resulting in much sheepishness and humility at our home office. Most recently, we missed the boat on November's debut release from Lexington, Kentucky's Thee American Revolution. This was a total ball-drop on our part. I mean, it isn't like there is a shortage of hooks around which we could have framed our initial coverage. For example, we could have called attention to the veritable super-group nature of the band, which features Robert Schneider (frontman of The Apples in stereo and famed producer of both Neutral Milk Hotel albums), Otto [...]

I have a confession to make. For years I would loudly proclaim my opinion that Lexington was vastly inferior to Louisville and that nobody in their right mind would ever want to live there. Now, my love for Louisville hasn't waned a bit (I still think it's the greatest town in America), but Lexington is quickly making a case for being one of the most exciting towns in the Midwest. With this year's Boomslang Fest courtesy of WRFL , they are [...]

Normally I do these on Fridays, but this past week was a nightmare, so the proper amount of time to put this together just wasn't there. Thankfully, today is a holiday so I've finally got the time to sit down and crank this out...and here it is. It's a little late, but hey there's still 12 hours left of your three day weekend to download and enjoy the tunes and there's always the rest of the week as well. So I'm going to quit my yacking and just say, "download away." Oh...and Go Magic!! Happy Bank [...]

Today on this day, 47 years ago, Marilyn Monroe sang "Happy Birthday" to John F. Kennedy. With that being said, lets PARTY, WEEEEEEEEEE!! Later on in '94 Jackie O' died, party's over. It was fun while it lasted right?

People who aren't Flaming Lips fanatics or Lexingtonians might want to pass this video by. But Lips freaks and people who drive past the BAF building often will get a kick out of this video where Wayne, his wife and his architect talk about the family's Big Ass Fan, straight from Lexington, KY. The music [...]
Spring is in the air. I know I mentioned this last week, and even made a post dedicated to "warming the hearts of our readers from cold places", but still, I love this time of the year. :) And what better way to celebrate Spring than through some new music? I've put some extra tunes in this one as it was a good week for finding new tunes that I really liked. So, sit back, relax and enjoy. The Milk & Honey Band - Disappear (2009, Brighton, England) My curiosity was [...]

Grab the bouncy first single "W.L.U.V" right now, right HERE . The glow on the horizon grows brighter until... the UFO is outside your window. Bending circuits, plastic travelers wave from within. If they are singing, invite them into your room. Big Fresh comes from beyond, bearing bright gifts on Garden Gate Records , the newly launched label by Robert Schneider of The Apples in Stereo . Lexington, Kentucky's beloved pop superheroes have been hard at work in the laboratory since Yes, Nice, Please, [...]

Lots of great releases to be had this week, with a few in particular that I personally recommend, which are Camera Obscura's My Maudlin Career , Cryptacize's Mythomania , and Pet Shop Boys' Yes . There are some excellent songs that standout on Camera Obscura's record, but I'm still not quite sure if I enjoy it from top to bottom. Though, I've been playing that Pet Shop Boys' release almost non stop since I listening to [...]

This week we redefine revolutionary bandwidth in an effort to utilize compelling metrics. By doing that the POP! Stereo should be able to exploit extensible methodologies and mesh intuitive e-markets. As a result the POP! Stereo will be able to cultivate distributed models and envisioneer viral infrastructures. Only then will the site be able to empower viral convergence by reinventing cutting-edge platforms. With this in mind it will then be possible to incubate seamless mindshare and thus integrate viral solutions which should then allow the POP! Stereo to facilitate transparent e-business! That ladies and gentleman is our goal. [...]

Big Fresh is a below the radar juicy pop band from Lexington, KY, who celebrate the golden days of radio and sci-fi imagery on their new album B.F.F. (Big Fresh Forever) . They arr extensively linked with The Apples in stereo so it's no wonder that the album was mastered by that band's leader Robert Schneider and that the album is released on his label. Catchy is an overused word, but it will do to bes descibe the contents of B.F.F. (Big Fresh Forever). With hints of Supertramp keyboards ( Satan, [...]
Don`t get me wrong, I really do like the new release from Trentalange, we posted this track ` Fever ` some weeks back with various site links and will certainly post more in coming months. The album `Awakening, Level One` has succumbed to amazing reviews from worldwide music press and is a real pleasure to listen to. Barbara Trentalange is also an accomplished songwriter, highly experienced in regards music media but totally off the mark with this video, i`m sorry, am I the only one who thinks it`s pretty lame, many other blogs have posted it and said [...]

Big Fresh , also known as BFF, along with Attempt , are playing Al's Bar TONIGHT in Lexington. Al's has stepped up in a huge way as news began circulating that the Dame was being murdered. Until The Dame is resurrected, look to Al's Bar to provide Lexington's best shows. We caught BFF opening for Apples in Stereo a month or so ago & they put on an incredible set. They've been a staple of the Lexington scene for years & reportedly a certain Mr. Jim James frequently opened for them in his [...]

Lexington, KY will be exporting its two best producers of pop magic, The Apples In Stereo and Big Fresh , over the coming weeks. Our loss is your gain! Big Fresh - Strike Up The Band The Apples In Stereo, already featuring John Ferguson from Big Fresh on keyboards, decided to bring along the entire Big Fresh ensemble for what will become the first-ever Big Fresh tour. I'm super excited for the guys; I really can't think of a better way for the band to get out there. [...]
