Click here to view the embedded video. A good way to relive some of TJSA's surreal, even-better-than-I-expected set from Friday. Thanks to the New Bomb Turks' Jim Weber for capturing this.

In late 2010, 3 of the "Big 43 ( Slayer , Megadeth , Anthrax ) performed outdoors at the LC. Last night, Anthrax returned with two more of thrash metals biggest bands - Testament and Death Angel for an indoor triple thrash threat. Death Angel started earlier than expected though metalheads had been lined up in front of the LC hours in advance so most didn't miss much of the band's abbreviated 6-song (I think) set. While Testament and [...]

Click here to view the embedded video. Max Sollisch's post-Our Cat Philip, post-Arlo & the Otter project Dolfish has been getting some well-deserved love recently, so it seemed like a good time to a.) Post this video of the unreleased track "Grownups," which was filmed at a basement studio called The Cottage in Atlanta, and b.) Let you know Dolfish will be wrapping up a winter tour at the Rumba Cafe on Saturday with Dane Terry and the Saturday Giant . Dolfish's Your [...]

Click here to view the embedded video. Ron House is obviously a fixture in Columbus rock music. Columbus emcee Zero Star is also impressed by Ron House's swag. (did the phrase Ron House's Swag make you throw up in your mouth? sorry) Anyway, I am waiting for you tube to make an interview I did with Zero Star and DJ Pos to exist. So I figured I would share this since TOP told you to look at our [...]

MP3: Bill Fox - I Only Did it Cuz I Felt So Lonely MP3: The Mice - Little Rage I think we've spent plenty of time talking about Bill Fox's two solo albums and most recent record , One Thought Revealed , so let's take a second to revisit Fox's beginnings with Cleveland power-pop band The Mice . Fox started the band with his drummer brother, Tommy Fox, eventually bringing bassist Ken Hall on board. The For Almost [...]

MP3: My Mysterious Death (Turn It Up) The more your hear about the origin of Old Columbus bands, the more you realize how many of them formed accidentally, the result of spontaneity and serendipity. Thomas Jefferson Slave Apartments was one such band. On a night about 20 years ago, soon after the dissolution of Ron House's previous band, Great Plains , a band playing Stache's ended early. The story could have ended right there. Everyone at the bar [...]

The show is Friday at Ace of Cups in Columbus. This week we'll be rolling out posts about all the bands to get you ready. Here's the poster by Clinton Reno :

The Mc from Columbus, "Zero Star" didn't get to post this up when it first came out and so now it's up, but the homie has dropped this very dope project, "Maybe I'm Joking, Maybe I'm Not" This is a very dedicated and sincere sounding album.. Everything from the productions to the bars that's spit with ease... So if you skipped out on the Heat provided, your dead wrong, highly recommended for deep rotation and maybe you'll drop a donation after listening.. The Link is provided, so keep it real and bang this properly!!! Support the artist and WIB!! [...]

MP3: El Jesus de Magico - Bone Knife It seems like a lifetime ago, but it was 2008 when I saw El Jesus de Magico at the Wexner Center with These New Puritans. It was an odd pairing, an empty show and El Jesus didn't make a believer out of me. Maybe it was an off night for the band. Maybe it was the room that seemed cavernous with only a handful of people there. Or maybe I was just grumpy. But each time I've seen El Jesus since, the band's psychedelic experiments (and [...]
MP3: Long run Fly Union is currently on tour. They are one of Columbus' greatest music imports. Please do your self a check then out if they are in your town. Or follow them around like a fanatic so I watch their twitter and giggle about them getting stalked by a random creep.

(Photo by Danielle Kline) Previously Unreleased Get Right Teaser Mix from a few years ago. DJ Detox is a stubborn bastard. But it's endearing. He has long avoided twitter, and other forms of web presence because he finds such forms of self-promotion corny. It's not like he doesn't have a resume: Get Right 614 . Sweatin' . Envelope's Deejay . So What Wednesday's . Joy Divisions . Wexner Center . Social Experiments on Juggalos Beating Cancer [...]
Tweet vaso link This song is not new. It's from 2002, but it's still fucking brilliant. And I wanted to share it again, because it came up on shuffle on my iPod today and reminded me of how awesome it is. RJD2 is one of the best hip hop producers ever. Sincerely, ever. His debut album, released on Def Jux, is titled Deadringer , and I really can't recommend it enough. And his 2002 collaboration with Copywrite remains one of my all-time hip hop highlights. [...]

Pretty soon the former Germain Amphitheater - a concert venue that's become a haven for graffiti writers - will be redeveloped. From the Dispatch : The long-vacant and graffiti-covered Germain Amphitheater and surrounding acreage has been purchased for $5.5 million by Polaris-area developer NP Limited. The developer has long had its eye on the 90-acre property, which went on the market in 2006, about a year before the final concert at the Far North Side amphitheater that once drew big crowds to see country music and rock 'n' roll's biggest [...]
