Amy D, of madebyAmyD.com fame, is the guest emcee this time around. She interviews Lizard McGee, and George and Constan Hondroulis of the band Earwig. Lizard talks about the Rapture, the Holocaust, a magical dwarf, and how his dreams inspire his songs. We hear five songs performed live from Gibson Under Mountain plus one new tune. Also, Amy has a fashion show happening at Wholly Craft! tomorrow night, October 1, 2010.

I've had a busy week. Three interviews, one session at Electraplay, and last-minute planning for Independents' Day. The interviews can be heard on this week's show. A play list of the show is here, and you can download it by clicking on this link. The first segment is with Sue Harshe of Fort Shame, pictured to the left. Fort Shame is playing tonight at the Treehouse, and they are re-releasing, sort of, their e.p., entitled The EP.

Before I move on to the next paragraph, let me repeat in case you missed it. Download the show here.

Mark Himmel, formerly of the Slide Machine, has been playing out about town with his new project, The Compressions since last Winter. In February, he began recording Stomping Ground, which will have its formal release this Saturday at Independents' Day. Gay Street stage, 8 p.m. Don't miss it. Himmel has been composing and recording his own music for a relatively short period of time, but he already possesses a sense of melody, lyrical finesse, and attention to detail that other folks struggle for decades to attain. Listen to this record, buy it again when it comes out on vinyl, and crank it.

Again, let me repeat it in case you're the kind of person who skims blog posts. Download the show here.

Another project that has been a year or more in the making is Miles Curtiss' (a.k.a Marvin the Robot) The Loveiathan. Packaged as a capsule-shaped usb thumb drive, The Loveiathan comes packed with mp3s and videos of some of the songs. The "stalker edition" of the album also includes the raw tracks, if you think you can remix it and do a better job than Miles. Check out Chris Deville's piece on Marvin in yesterday's Columbus Alive

The Marvin the Robot release show is also happening tonight, at Kobo, with Mors Ontologica and Jellyhearts.

And lest you forget, you can download my chat with Miles and a few tracks from The Loveiathan here.

Finally, I thought I'd post the schedule for Independents' Day one last time. It's been so well-received over at the Friendship Farm. I'm helping out at the Gay Street stage all day tomorrow. Stop by and say hello. We still need volunteers, for mundane but really necessary things like parking and such. If you can help out write Erin Corrigan at erin [at] aero313 [dot] com.
