Fountain Square Music This Weekend
It's First Friday, which means that the entire area will be covered with art lovers and lovers of art lovers who may love art, but love their lovers more.
And there's music, too.
Radio Radio has The Blakes, Red Light Driver, Welcome to Ashley, and Heavy Hometown tonight (for those that love the British-sounding pop music). Those who love that music will want to return Sunday for a free early show (6:30pm) featuring Terry Sylvester of the Hollies.
Big Car Gallery has Andy D, Twin Monster and Motif tonight as part of the Tre Reising opening. This will be a spectacle, trust me. Basilica performs downstairs in the old Dolphin Paper store, too.
The Vollrath has We Are Hex, Pravada, and Grandchildren tonight. Tomorrow is Exorcism, which I have learned is a dance party. No casting out of spirits here, folks, unless someone vomits their drinks in the back parking lot.
David Wilcox will be appearing tomorrow at the Wheeler Art Center as part of Indy's Acoustic Cafe series. Good venue for this type of music - enjoy.
And finally, there's live music at Maria's Pizza and Deano's Vino tonight. Happy First Friday!
EDIT: Totally forgot about the bluegrass being played by D. Mark and Jules at the Calvin Fletcher Coffee Company tonight. Please forgive me.
New IMN Podcast for the Holidays
The new IMN podcast is up - download it or listen at the site or on WFYI HD2, Thursdays at 4pm.
This is the first podcast of the year to feature Christmas music, and I take great pleasure in pointing out that we waited until after Thanksgiving to do so. I'm looking at you, change-your-format-as-a-cheap-gimmick-and-playing-that-stupid-Jingle-Bell-Dogs-song radio stations. Thank you, and good day.
Giving MOG a Whirl – Some Initial Thoughts
MOG's $5-for-everything music service went live today, and I managed to score a free month to see what I think about it. So far, they've done some things right:
- Decent selection from the majors, which will please a lot of folks
- Uncomplicated interface - easy to use
- Slider on the radio feature that you can use to give you tracks from a single artist or include other artists in varying degrees
- You can pause tracks
- You're not limited in plays of songs, and you can save playlists
- Works with Chrome - I was expecting problems there
However, it still has some downsides:
- Occasional drops or stoppages
- Only certain tracks on some albums - if you're paying for the service and negotiating the rights, get everything, please
- Do NOT put Limp Bizkit in my Living Colour radio stream. EVER. EVER. EVER.
I've only had a few hours with this, so some of these things might shake out later. But that last point must be addressed now. Posthaste.
