And now I actually have to do it. Crap.

14 songs before the end of the month. Any ideas accepted.

I'm playing with the Loopy HD app for the iPad, which interfaces nicely with the SoftStep - I can choose and mute tracks fairly quickly, and the recording is a simple process. I'm still getting a weird fade in at the beginning of the loops, but I suspect playing with the noise gate will remedy that.

Now I just have to write 14 songs. Dammit.

My name is Ryan Williams. I write and play bass, not necessarily in that order. And I make my home in the beautiful Fountain Square district of Indianapolis, source of much art, culture, entertainment, fine cuisine, and loud rehearsal noise emanating from my neighbor's house.

The reason that story came out this week was, of course, because of the huge party we're throwing for Super Bowl XLVI this year, and because we want to let everyone know what Indianapolis has to offer. Fountain Square is but a quick trip from downtown, there will be shuttle buses, and I bet the bike taxis will even trek down here. Let me know if you have any questions or just want to hear me lay down a groove for a bit. I will accommodate all reasonable requests.

Indy's Jukebox appears to be off of live music for a couple of weeks, according to their website.

The Hoosier Dome presents The Goodnight Fields w/ White Rock Scratch and Unstable Faultline tonight. Tomorrow, take in We Came From Nowhere, As The Fallen Rise, Of Sights and Sounds, Disaffected, Prague, and It's Safe, I Swear.

The White Rabbit Cabaret brings in Woodstove Flapjacks String Band and the Whiskey Bent Valley Boys tonight

It's Swing Night at the Fountain Square Theater with The Stardusters.

And there's live lounge and jazz music at The Brass Ring and Maria's Pizza all weekend long. Enjoy!

Please also note that it's possible to check out great local music in Indianapolis (and Fountain Square, in particular) by taking the shuttle from downtown to FSQ and back - details can be found here. I thought the Super Bowl Village did a pretty good job of showcasing local talent, but there's always more to be heard.

Indy's Jukebox has the Brassknuckle Boys, Off Balance, and the Brothers Gross tomorrow.

The Hoosier Dome gets down with Earthbound, Only OK, Hooper, and Holy Mackenzie tonight. Tomorrow, it's the return of Caelume with Male Bondage, Marital Roles, Teenagers from Outerspace, and Deadghost.

And there's live lounge and jazz music at The Brass Ring and Maria's Pizza all weekend long. Enjoy!

Indy's Jukebox gets loud and metallic tonight with Dead Birds Adore Us, Goliathon, Dogs of Fortune, and THE MIGHTY KIDD COMET. Tomorrow brings Deezen, Dead Man's Switch, Skyhunter, and LifeBeforeCars.

The Hoosier Dome presents the huge lineup of Affiance, Serianna, Us, From Outside, Sirens & Sailors, As The Fallen Rise, All Roads Lead To Rome, I Will Define, and Haruspex.

It's Swing Night in Fountain Square with The Blue Skies Big Band.

The pianoke of NOISE! takes place tonight at White Rabbit Cabaret.

And don't forget live jazz and lounge music at Maria's Pizza and the Brass Ring tonight. Enjoy!

Indy's Jukebox puts on a big loud show tonight with Photian Schism, The Midnight Ghost Train, The B-Movie Monsters, Coffinsville, and Dead Man's Switch. Tomorrow gets a little punkier with Made Alive, The Guilford Blackouts, and Dastard Lee.

Three big shows at the Hoosier Dome this weekend - tonight features Atrocities, Sonofabitch, We Must Dismantle All This!, PissArtist, Crude Prunes, Tainted Wisdom, Iafrate, and Smegmaloids. I think that means each band gets a 10-minute set or something. Tomorrow, take in the much more reasonable numbers of The Years To Come, Against the Ropes, Up 2-11, and The Savage Life. Finally, Sunday brings 'round Living and Wrestling, Atlas, Pessoa, and Marital Roles.

And there's always live jazz and lounge music at both Maria's Pizza and the Brass Ring this weekend. Enjoy First Friday!

Indy's Jukebox has a TON of metal and other loud acts this weekend. Seriously, double-digits of bands and their gear adding up to A TON. Go to their website for all of the details.

The Hoosier Dome has the quasi-opera Bixby Hymns tonight and a NYE party tomorrow with the Last Domino and others.

The Fountain Square Theater has the Kelly Jay Orchestra and more tomorrow night for New Year's Eve.

And there's a ton more happening around the square - whatever you do, take care and be safe while having fun. I'm looking forward to seeing all of you in the coming year, when I will assault you with all manner of bass-related nonsense. Cheers.
