if starbucks is the devil, and if all the best bands are affiliated with satan, then...

The new Icicles CD rules. It's going to be so awesome when they finally come back to Cleveland on May 2...

That's really all that I have to say. You just have to hear the crazy meta-discussions on indieness for yourself.

P.S.-Someone recently asked me to send him my interview with the All Girl Summer Fun Band that appeared on the Sergio Van Lukenstein show in September of 2003. Since I went to all that trouble of uploading it for that one guy, I thought I might as well link to it here, too. So, if you haven't already heard it, here's a link to my classic interview with AGSFB, completely unedited:

stop the bombs before they start...

I'm feeling quite tired right now, so I'm not going to write much here. Just listen to the show. Everything that you need to know is in there.

And I'd love to hear your opinion on whether or not the Shins and/or the Arcade Fire are indie enough for my show.

Oh, and I have a correction to make. During the show, I say that the name of the Maria Taylor song that I played was "No Stars". It's actually "Smile and Wave". Oops.

And listen for that new hit single by the Smittens. It rules!

So, here's the show:

i heart the nappy-wappies!

If you don't usually download the shows, you'll definitely want to download this one. In the first part of the show, you'll hear my inspired St. Patrick's set, featuring Negativland and Henry Rollins. Two things you don't hear me play often. And in the second part, you'll hear Cleveland's newest indiepop sensation, the Afternoon Naps!

And they sounded great on the air!

Yay! Thanks Tom and Leia!

I wish I could have done a good interview with them, though. They didn't get here as soon as I wanted them to, so I couldn't talk about Leia's obsessions with the Trachtenburg Family Slideshow Players and Sifl and Olly. And that's not something you can dwell on in a short amount of time. And I didn't get to find out what Tom was obsessed with, either.

But anyway, you'll definitely want to download this. And you may want to go to see the Afternoon Naps play live at the Beachland tomorrow night (Wednesday, the 14th) when they open for Dean and Britta. You may want to see Dean and Britta.

Oh, and Of Montreal is playing Monday, the 19th at the Beachland, too. And you'll get to see Kevin "Sexypants" Barnes in person. Or is that Kevin "Sexynopants" Barnes? (Sorry...)

Anyway, here are the MP3s! You know you want to download them!

billy pilgrim has become unstuck in time...

Yeah... Vonnegut rules! Vonnegut pwns you!

Anyway, that latest show was pretty good, but next week is going to be really big.

First of all, I'll have a ticket giveaway for the Of Montreal show at the Beachland on the 19th.

Then, I might be having a band come up to play. They're a very important new local band called the Afternoon Naps. They don't have an album out, but they do have a Myspace. They'll be promoting the fact that they're opening for Dean and Britta (ex-Luna) at the Beachland on the 14th and (more importantly) will be playing some songs for you.

You know that every time I find a local band that I like, they're really awesome, so you know you're going to have to pay special attention to this next show. Because I'm recognized throughout the Cleveland music scene as a hip, influential tastemaker.

Not. :P

But you know I should be recognized as one, so this is going to be really good. If the 'Naps show up. And one of the members of the band swears that she is going to show up whether she has to do it alone or not.

We'll see. Exciting stuff!

But for now, let us reflect upon the small slice of awesomeness that was this week's show.

Except for the fact that I didn't know Maria Taylor (ex-Azure Ray) released a new album. Damn! I could have downloaded it and played it! Oh well...

Okay, here are the MP3s:

I can't reach Savefile.com at all now. I wonder if it got shut down or something. Anyway, you'll have to check back later to see if I uploaded the show.
