Double booking mayhem! Noise vs. lo-fi at Silent Barn

With TV Ghost, Pink Reason, City Center, Coconuts, Zac Davis, Slither, Halflings, God Willing, Evenings, Fluorescent Vibes, Best Hits. By Nate Dorr What happens when the Silent Barn accidentally double-books? Skipped acts? Shortened sets? Bills forced to move or reschedule outright? Thankfully none of these things, practice has demonstrated. Last Saturday night, through rapid turnover on two stages, the Barn showed full DIY flexibility in somehow combining two unrelated bills, Voltron-like,

Why Fayetteville Rules: The Dickson Street Bookshop

For over 30 years, the Dickson Street Bookshop has been sitting on the corner of Dickson Street and N. School, being awesome. With an estimated 100,000 used books lining the tall floor to ceiling shelves, (and sometimes, in tall stacks in available corners), the Dickson Street Bookshop is one of the best independent used book stores in the country. Visitors to the area are amazed at the incredible selection of used and out of print books, and the unique maze-like layout, the dim lighting and

Nebraska vs. Kansas State - Blogger Q&A With Bring on the Cats

Nebraska vs. Kansas State - Blogger Q&A With Bring on the Cats Ron Davis? Maybe, because he was either much better or worse than you thought he would be. Shane Mack was much better than we expected and then suddenly much worse, so he might make the top 5. The one name who I think can give Cuddy a Everybody ... Health 0

Review Review: Janek!

Happy Thursday, everybody! Today on Review Revue we’re going to go in-depth and investigate KCMU’s reaction — over 8 years — to one of the world’s most prolific recording artists. No, not Elvis, silly! Not Henry Burr, either! It’s Jandek! “Who the eff is Jandek?” you might well ask. That is actually a surprisingly difficult question to answer, but for now let’s just say he’s a guy from Texas who has released close to 50 albums (well over 50 if you count live albums) over the past 30 years. And

You got your post-apocalpyptic in my voluptuous

As you know, the last time "post-apocalyptic" and "voluptuous" were used in the same sentence was when the Bogue Chitto High School for the Fat mounted a stage version of Blade Runner. But today I received the covers of two upcoming movies by eminent pornographers Carlos Batts and Maria Beatty, who are releasing their Voluptuous Biker Babes and Post-Apocalyptic Cowgirls this week. Batts, whose muse is his wife, the zaftig and incendiary April Flores, and Beatty, whose noir lesbian fare is shot

No one speaks English and everything's broken

I thought I’d try a bit of interaction today. Inspired by ATP vs The Fans. But first, some background. Running since 1999, All Tomorrow’s Parties isn’t like your average festival. There’s no sponsorship. No camp site. And no chance of any furore over Jay Z headlining. What you get instead is a great atmosphere, a chalet to sleep, wash and cook in and a line-up with a difference. And that, is the crucial part. Because there’s a real cohesiveness to the line-up. Rather than being a hodge-podge

It's Not Selling Out Anymore -- This Week in Music Licensing

by Ryan Barkan Gogol Bordello @ Irving Plaza (more by Jefferson) The second edition of this controversial new feature is back. "It's Not Selling Out Anymore" (or is it?)... Aggressive racing game, Motorstorm, was one of the most successful titles for the Playstation 3 in 2007 (selling over three million copies world wide). It was only natural then, that Sony Computer Entertainment would get a sequel out in 2008. Enter Motorstorm: Pacific Rift. The game recently hit shelves in the US at en

Biographical Dictionary of Rap: Jay-Z

Like a week ago, Christopher posted an excellent entry on Jay-Z that I totally forgot to mention. I usually tease you with a notable paragraph from the piece, but this one's too good to do that to. Check it out:"Thurston Moore, in Punk:Attitude opined during the standard late 70's/80's NYC comparison between the adjacent development of punk and hip-hop as art/social movements that while the punk kids eschewed all material signifiers of wealth for myriad ideological reasons, hip-hop embraced and
