From WF:
This is a must have for fan of the Jacket or fan of Christmas. It was recored on Dec 21st of 2001 and WFPK aired it on Christmas Day that year. The interview portions are great and it makes a good compliment to "Does Xmas Fiasco Style".
Its strange. It feels like just a couple weeks ago that I was dodging the rain and jamming to some De La Soul at Forecastle 2007. But apparently its been almost 6 months. I must be in some kind of time warp.
Petticoat, Petticoat is a great sounding Indie/Pop band from just down the road in Lexington. Tonight @ 9pm they will be playing a show at local Wine Bar/Cafe Jenicca's located on E. Market. It should be worth checking out.
This little girl to the left may be Wax Fang's youngest fan. As I sat on the staircase, I watched her Dad zip around the area where Scott, Kevin and Jake had assembled snapping shot after shot. It should be noted that she was not wearing headphones, she was wearing ear protection as Wax Fang nearly blew the windows out of the Bardstown Road located record store, Ear X-tacy this past tuesday.
Buy Wax Fang's new album "La La Land" here or locally at Ear X-tacy or your local indie record store.
Last Saturday we went to the album release show for Wax Fang; for those who made it out, you know it was a great show. From Lucky Pineapple's high energy opening set to Centipede E'est (Scott Carney's pals from his second home, Pittsburg) rocking the foreign crowd ultimately leading to Wax Fang's brilliant set.

Click here for a slide show of pictures from the Ben Sollee's album release party last night at 21c. If you didn't get out to the show last night, the second performance is tonight at the beautiful 21c Museum Hotel.
Saturday Night Dr. Dog returns to Louisville to play Phoenix Hill. Tickets are 15 bux at the door 21 and over, 8pm.
Thats right Dawn Gee we don't need you. The other night I heard you tell your viewers umpteen times not to touch downed power lines. You were like a broken fucking record of saving lives. Is there anyone on this planet who doesn't know not to touch downed power lines? (maybe thats how you catch the Downs Syndrome..durrrr) And if there are people that dumb on this planet how the fuck were they smart enough to even turn on the television and tune into you Dawn Gee? And another thing. If my power lines are down I wouldn't be watching the fucking news because I would have no fucking power. In turn, I would probably die never being able to hear your life saving message. How sad.
Quick little post to get you guys some photographs and mp3s of Murals kick ass performance at the Rudyard almost a week ago. Sorry to keep everyone waiting, while I don't mind paying for a place to host pictures, I like to find free places for music files.
Round about 7 years ago this awesome, awesome cat named John King had a vision to start a unique compilation CD to showcase the bands of Louisville, as well as his own band Team Totoro. He called it "Louisville is for Lovers" and it is now working on it's 8th (due out Valentine's Day, 2008).As if that wasn't enough, John has organized the reissue of the original Misfits cover album from 1994, "Louisville Babylon" and in just 9 more days, its spawn, "Louisville Babylon 2." The cds will be hand packaged just like all Louisville is for Lovers releases and be of a limited run of 666 pieces each. (can I buy number 666 John, please!!) The city thanks you John!
You can read more about the releases here and buy them locally at ear x-tacy or here.
The CDs are $10 a piece or both in a extra special box for $16 and come with a fancy poster.
Tracklistings from the Louisville is for Lovers website:
Louisville Babylon 2 (2007)

It's been a few months since seeing the Murals play and that is a few months too long. If you haven't heard from these guys, come out and give them a listen tomorrow at the beautiful Rudyard Kipling at 9:30. A band that simply goes by the moniker "Goat" from the NYC will also play a set.
FRANCES DEMANGE/GAMMA FOR TIME
I started my evening off at the Outlook Inn down on Baxter directly behind the west stage with some yummy brews (Thanks for the hospitality, Outlook). I sat out on the street just next to the band as they had their pre-set drinks.
If you missed the Original Highlands Music Festival this past Saturday, you missed a super friendly atmosphere of a couple thousand folks that spent the day getting faces painted and enjoying a drink or two. This stretch of two blocks literally felt like a warm hug! With the threat of rain looming, the sky never opened up for much longer than to let a few stray drops through here and there.
Here's a cool way to get a taste of most of the bands playing at the Peak Summit Festival in a little over a week. These files are in m4a format which work in iTunes and act as a chaptered podcast. When you open them, they will show a chapters menu at the top and you can skip around and listen to what bands you want or sit back and let the mix play for a little over an hour each. On a related note, when the podcasts are burned to a disc, the chapter markers turn into individual tracks on the cd.
Edgehill Ave. has notified us that they have tracks from their Live Lunch performance a couple weeks ago. We have them available to stream here. If you would like to download them send an email over to Edgehill Ave. with "add me" in the subject line and they'll add you to their mailing list and give you access to download the files from their fan site.

Over the past six years, the Peak Summit Groove and Dance Festivals have continually grown--artistically, conceptually, and in popularity. Each festival has produced record attendance and sales highs for the venues involved, routinely garnering capacity crowds in the thousands. This year presents the next logical phase in that growth, expanding to a 3-day, outdoor, camping, family friendly event, boasting 39 of our region’s favorite bands, 3 popular DJ’s, 5 talented artists, 3 interpretive dance troupes, and a plethora of activities for festival-lovers of all ages. Indoors and outdoors there are a total of three stages on Friday and Saturday, and one stage on Sunday. Each will be packed with popular music…reggae, rock, bluegrass, blues, funk, jazz, and much more. A complete lineup can be found on www.PeakSummit.com.
The annual festival’s past format has focused on using multiple, closely placed venues in Louisville’s bar districts, creating a mini-Bonnaroo atmosphere, but with two glaring exceptions—the lack of outdoor-camping and, and few (if any) family-friendly elements. This problem has been solved (!), thanks to a little-known venue that is only a 10-minute drive outside of
The Rustic Frog sits on 5 acres of land, sandwiched between industrial complexes, nature preserves, and the

This year at Lebowski Fest, Lucky Pineapple chose to mimic the band "Autobahn" from the movie. In case you're wondering, this was the band that the nihilists played in... remember "Where's za muney Lebowski?" and "We believe in nossing!"
Last week we were attendees of a very nice show put on by Follow the Train, The Pennies and The Invaders. I had only heard of The Pennies from hearsay and still need to go out and buy their recently released album, 10,0000 Things. The same goes for The Invaders who don't even seem to have a MySpace page (not that that's a bad thing). All the bands blew us away. Follow the Train put on a space themed show complete with a Darth Vader, Obi Wan battle with glow sticks attached to pawn shop "fender-like" guitars.
