I've been thinking about this a lot recently. I'm pretty burned out on this platform (www.ning.com) for the MFT community. I've been thinking that a simplified blog format might actually be more effective than this online community platform. Let's face it, Facebook and Twitter have won. That's where people are hanging out. We need to take the content there as much as possible

 

I see a great Indiana…

That's right folks...

 

We went there.  We created a list of our favorite local songs of 2010.  By "we", I mean: Dan Fahrner, Dodge from My Old Kentucky Blog, Scott Shoger from Nuvo and Dave Lindquist from the Indy Star.  We each listed our favorite local songs from the year (at the bottom) and then compiled a…

I know that's a pretty ballsy statement, which is why I ended it with a question mark. I'd love to hear what people think about Oranje, because everyone truly has a different impression of the event. There are quite a few definitions of the word progressive, but it generally means "pushing the boundaries" for the purposes of critiquing and judging art and culture.…

Dudes were breaking big at the time in the all ages "post-rock" scene and truly inspiring gentlemen for us young and inexperienced scenesters. It's hard to comprehend how a band actually turns into a business,… Continue

Record Store Day (3rd annual) is quickly becoming a big music industry holiday and for good reason...It provides our favorite local indie shops with an amazing sales day to count on and stimulates the community to come together to support them. Group hug!

Ever wish you could sit around with Eric Spears, smoking pot & listening to him pontificate about all sorts of crazy things? Now you can! (minus the pot and the sitting around with him) by visiting his blog: www.daisybrain.wordpress.com

The Lemonheads, at the time of this session, featured two Indianapolis-based members, so Evan Dando often frequented our fair city to get his ideas down on tape with the band. During one… Continue

Two much respected institutions of Athens, Georgia indie music teamed up this year to put out a pretty great album. Vic Chesnutt and Elf Power released Dark Developments through Orange Twin Records. On February 2nd, My Old Kentucky… Continue

There has been a lot of great conversation on the site on how to handle political content. At first, when the site was flooded with political blogs, there was a reaction by myself and others to get a little freaked out. Suddenly this little music community was turning into a political site, oh no! So I cracked down on political blogs, removed some and banned them from the home page blog feed after setting up a Politics Forum. This was met with concerns over censorship and the appearance that… Continue

I told a friend today that I have had very few conversations with artists and performers that left me feeling the way I did after talking with David Bazan. I had the pleasure of having him in to record an… Continue

I'm going to be reposting some of my MOKB content on here now and then I think...when it's related to the local scene. You can see Ryan Reidy tonight at Birdys, opening for Tulsa and The Whigs...





Ryan Reidy told me about his Sisters project quite a while ago, but like the a-hole I am, I forgot to check into them. MySpace is an ugly beast anymore to me. Anyway, lately, they've been… Continue
