Austin Lucas - Southern Indiana Hills and House Shows

I’ve been to a lot of house shows over the last nine years that I’ve been in Bloomington. Sometimes these shows are incredible and fill me with hope for the future of local music in this town. Other times they make me wonder why I didn’t stay home and finish whatever movie Comedy Central is playing, e.g., Coming to America, and enjoy the musical flourishing of Sexual Chocolate instead of braving the rain. The Sunday after Thanksgiving, Austin Lucas, with the help of Mark Allen and Mike Hale made… Continue

1998 to 2001- The Davenports, Jeb Josh & Finn, The No Names with a side of Blood Couch


R to L- Me, Josh and Finn moving out of the Tim and Billy's space.

I'm not very comfortable writing about my own history on this site, it feels a little narcassitic but it is what the site is all about really. Documenting small musical histories through stories, pictures, videos and of course MP3s. So here is some of mine...

New Lines of Nazca Christmas EP - Throw Up The Sash!

The boys of winter return for a heartwarming jaunt through the festive country. Beginning with a personal message from the band to all it's loyal fan club members, this collection sparkles with new soon-to-be-classics and old gems, dusted off and distorted. Maybe not for kids, but for kids at heart.

Your Tonic Ball Memory

Tonic Ball has been one of the highlights of the musical calendar. Just today my favorite barista told me that she knows the holiday is here when Tonic Ball arrives.

It struck me that we probably all have similar feelings and great experiences associated with the benefit for Second Helpings.

Submit your favorite Tonic Ball memories, and maybe we can swing a pair of tickets for the best ones.

Here's mine, names have been changed.

Tonic Ball 2008 was a blast. I have always loved Queen more tha… Continue

LonPaul's last album- Chris Kupersmith and Old Flames "Lucky Epitaph"



Finally, after several years of work and a major reconstruction effort following the passing of LonPaul (aka LP) Elrich (who is all over this album- playing drums, keyboards, guitars, singing and also producing) we are proud to be offering "Lucky Epitaph" by Chris Kupersmith and Old Flames.

You can stream the album here and also purchase via digital download. Take it from someone that has been following and listening to this album as it came together over the last year- this… Continue

Documenting some interactivity isses in NIng on MFT with Firefox 3.5.4 under Mac OS X 10.6.1

testing, couldn't post a comment on the scarcity thread - looks like a js widget is not loading. I'm testing to see if it's local to the post or if it affects me in all comment boxes.

UPDATE: I can't post in comment boxes, and I can't logout. Killing my browser, will be back to see if that fixes things.

Specs:

FF 3.5.4, Mac OS X 10.6.1, plenty of RAM (4gb), late-model MacBook Pro - the setup has been consistent for a fair while, I'd say the main variable in question is the version of Firefox.… Continue

Armed Forces In America (The Marketing of Elvis Costello)

Armed Forces In America (The Marketing of Elvis Costello)

On March 11 1979, Elvis Costello and the Attractions played the IU Auditorium in Bloomington Indiana, on March 14 in Columbus Ohio, he hit the wall.

The part I remember the most was they had these green lights that shot horizontally across the stage instead of shining down on the band. Elvis ordered the audience to stand up, bass player Bruce Thomas executed an amazing cross-legged drop to the stage. PLOP! I think the band though… Continue
