Ear X-Tacy's Holiday Gift Guide


Ear X-Tacy has posted their Holiday Gift Guide online. I thought it was pretty cool until a couple pages in when they recommended an old Nickelback album and lost all credibility in the process. Its not like this two year old heap of all thats wrong with music these days need recommending since its jammed down your FM dial all day long. Maybe they were high. I could use an explanation from whoever decided to put this in there. So please e-mail me to get this straightened out. And, if you were high. Just Make the title "I WAS HIGH". The full guide can be found here.

Halfway to Forecastle Fest

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.

To mark the halfway point until Forecastle 2008 J.K. McKnight has put together a benefit concert to supports local BMX legend Jimmy Levan.

Here are all the details from jk:

"I’m proud to announce that Band of Horses will headline the 1st ever “Halfway to Forecastle” mini-fest Jan. 26th at Headliners Music Hall (1386 Lexington Road, 584-8088) in Louisville. All ticket proceeds will benefit Louisville BMX legend and FBM-owner Jimmy Levan, currently recovering from serious injuries sustained after a recent skate boarding accident in New Jersey.

The line-up includes Band of Horses, Cass McCombs, Catfish Haven, How I Became The Bomb, Early Day Miners, Ferdinand Fox, Coltrane Motion, Jesse Jamz, and many more. Tickets will go on-sale Saturday, Dec. 15th at 10 a.m. through Ticketweb, Ticketmaster and ear-X-tacy Records. 91.9 WFPK and Band of Horses will begin pre-sales next week, for what is an expected sell-out. For performance times and ticket information, please visit: http://www.forecastlefest.com/halfway

In addition to music, Red Bull North America will sponsor an outdoor skate park, with exhibitions from local and regional athletes who shared the ramp with Jimmy. Additional silent auction activities will take place inside, with all proceeds benefiting his rehab fees and road to recovery.

The Forecastle Festival, named "One of the Top 101 things to do in America" by SPIN Magazine, will take place July 25th – 27th on the Riverfront Belvedere. The 2008 event will blend dueling East / West stages with a regionally-curated art exhibition, fifty environmental organizations, speakers, panels, films, expanded extreme sports park, eco-business expo, outdoor industry demos, and plenty more along the mighty Ohio River.

Thank you for your continued support of this growing, grassroots network ~ jkm"
