Win Times New Viking's "Stay Awake" tonight on Local Pop

2009-09-23T13:09:37Z

I realize that Stay Awake has been out for a year, and you probably already have a copy, but I've got two copies now, thanks to the Times New Viking goodie package that arrived in the mail yesterday. So I thought I'd give one away to the first caller when I say the word tonight on WCRS. Listen to 102.1 or 98.3 here in Columbus or online at www.wcrsfm.org. The number to call is 614-219-9277 ( 219-WCRS ).

Also, in a further effort to confuse my listeners and alienate my audience, I've renamed the show to "Local Pop". Not a great name, but it's at least more descriptive than "pat radio". This will also afford me the opportunity to turn the mic over to other folks who want to interview bands or host segments of the show. That will be happening soon, I think, and if it sounds like something you would like to do, let me know. Finally, tonight's show will be available for download on WCRS's website. Probably at this link. I've been making the distinction that shows without guests aren't really podcasts, but I figure folks still might want to hear them. So generic "radio shows" will be at wcrsfm.org, and shows with guests or exclusive content will be here.

MP3: Househearts - Comfest 83

2009-09-17T11:06:35Z

It's time for another Old 3C Records' blast from the past. Below is a link to a recording of Househearts' 1983 set at Comfest. Househearts featured Bob Robinson and Paul Nini, and was active in Columbus from 1982 to 1986. On this particular set John Weber is playing drums. Househearts list among their influences Television, Joy Division, Mission of Burma, and Pylon. If you like those bands, you'll love Househearts. If you're as old as me, the sound of Househearts will definitely take you back.

If you'd like to try before you download, there's a tune from the set called "Never Doubt My Words" that you can stream in the player below.

mp3: "Small House in the City", Rodeo Ruby Love, at Treehouse Sunday

2009-07-24T13:57:34Z

Rodeo Ruby Love is a band from Marion, Indiana. Last year they released a full-length cd entitled Rodeo Ruby Love Vs. The Great American Cities. Band leader Zack Melton says of their music, "I like the complexities and paradoxes of writing fun, catchy music with heartbreaking words." That paradox rings true on "Small House in the City", which you can find below.

Rodeo Ruby Love will be coming to our great American city this Sunday, appearing at the Treehouse with Traveling By Sea and local spazz-popsters This is My Suitcase.
