before i go to the local news, if you are asking yourself if i when to the Detroit Music Awards in Downtown Detroit i did not when to it i did not want to sit in the third Floor Balcony, like last year.

So i will post something about the show this weekend[From My web sourced with my own opinion about the Whold thing.]

i want to clear up one thing before i give you the News, a few week ago on the Next to last Liz Copeland show on WDET-FM when he have the One and only "Sterling" it was mention that Liz would program the 2nd Ave. stage at Comerica Cityfest, well i saw
Sterling at the Yo La Tango show on Wednesday and he clear one thing up that Liz will program two night at the 2nd Ave. Stage and May DJ a night at City fest which would be awesome and it would be cool if we full the whole 2nd Ave. to show our support For Liz.

Speaking of Cityfest on Monday it was announce to the Detroit Free Press a new band have just sing to played the main stage at Comerica Cityfest.

Let Me Give you a few clues before i can give you the Name fo that band.

- this band was from in 1968 in the Chicago suburb of Rockford, Illinois

- For the last ten years they have released music on there own
so you may want to called them a old indie band

- They have pop up on Movie sound tracks since 1979 which include "Top Gun", "Heavy Metal","Joe Dirt","Daddy Day Care", and "Detroit Rock City"

- And Last but Not leased one of there well Know Songs is in Guitar Hero II for the playstation 2 and XBOX 360.

The Full Line up and set time will be Announcer in a few week and i am working hard on with my serect Molds to find out more news bands that are playing Cityfest this year and you know that Culture city will be all over the New Center Area on the 4th of July Weekend.

And one other local bit of news that was broke by Japer, the web vomit guy and have been pick up by almost ever Music blog that i know, the Henchman's will released a C.D. of there old '45 records it will be called "Hentch.Forth.Five." it will have 14-songs that was originally released back in 1998 on an EP, a 12", and two singles, all "remixed and remastered by Dan Currie and it include a very young Jack White playing in almost every track.

yes the same jack white who in the white stripes, according to the band that Jack played bass on a bunch, contributes lead guitar to three tunes, and is lead vocal on "Some Other Guy", plus he also backup vocals on several other tracks.

Front man John Szymanski said "should be out in about two months" which is the 10th anniversary of the label that released it Italy Records.

when we heard it will let you know.

on To the Other news outside the 313

There was couple of bands sing to some Label last week, Sweden band "Shout Out Louds" who released the wonderful 2004 "Howl Howl Gaff Gaff" have jump label jumping from Capitol to on of the hottest indie right now Merge and will released there second album which is called "Our Ill Wills" Which was produced the Bjorn of "Peter Bjorn and John".

The album will be out in the US on September 11.

In addition, the new single "Heart It Races", as well as several different remixes and cover versions of the song, will be released on CD, 12" and digital formats on June 5.

And According to SPIN.com, it look like that the run of the animation cartoon band "Gorillaz" will hid out at a sercet location for the near distact future, the main voice for the band Damon Albarn told BBC Radio 2 that the soundtrack score to a film by Monty Python director and actor Terry Gilliam will be the last time you ever Hear 2D, Noodles, Russel, and Murdoc, saying "there won't be another pop record." Albarn have been busy with his other side project "the Good, the Bad, and the Queen" and may be the reunion of Blur.

i have added a a listen of the New album that are steaming on Line right now before you by it the new section of the site is called the listen booth and that where you find the new album from "Arctic Monkeys", "Midnight Movies" Western Michigan "The Icicles" and "The Winterpills" all of them are the full album for free and steaming and depending on the sight where is coming from [myspace or a E-card] it will be up for one to three weeks.

The Indie News Round Up

It Late Tuesday Night/Early Friday Morning

And today was a beautiful day with hi in the Mid 60's

and the good thing the blog sight goes on
with the Indie News Round Up

May be it me or if i one of the first Local blogs to mention this but was have a title and almost a date for "the New Pornographers" New album since 2005 and from what Front Man Carl Newman telling Billboard that the album will be “more epic” than Twin Cinema.

The Album will be tentatively titled "Challengers" and they are looking at a released date of August 21th on Matador Records.

Also coming soon the second album from the U.K. band "The Magic Numbers" who will released the album Those The Brokes" July 3rd on Capitol.

And Guess what Eddie Argos and his band Mate from Art Burt will be back in session with there New Album"It's a Bit Complicated" out on June 26th, but if you can wait that long they will be released in there DVD called "Talking to the Kids" on May 22nd.

they have a track listing for the album here:

1. "Pump Up the Volume"
2. "Direct Hit"
3. "St. Pauli"
4. "People in Love"
5. "Late Sunday Evening"
6. "I Will Survive"
7. "Post Soothing Out"
8. "Blame it on the Trains"
9. "Sound of Summer"
10. "Nag Nag Nag Nag"
11. "Jealous Guy"

And there good news for fans of the Two Gallants, all charges were drop against There drummer Tyson Vogel resluting the incendiend at a houston Night club back in October when a Police was investgaing a nosie Compalnt Tyson Vogel was chage with interference with a police after the band would not stop playing there gig.

the band post this on there websight:

"the misdemeanor charge of interference with a public servant has been dropped completely by the city of houston against tyson. the charges against greg who shot the videos have been dropped as well. it dragged on with five non-trial court appearances and then someone decided to actually look at the video. oh yes, that video which showed a very large, maniacal officer tackling the band on stage in front of everyone for an alleged noise complaint. obviously there are worse injustices in the world, but this was really unfortunate. thank you everyone who spoke up and showed your support. many were people worried it was going to hurt the houston music scene and make other bands not want to go there. we can only tell you this...you can count on the gallants coming back to houston very soon."

Now with all there legal probum over, they will now look at a released at there New EP call June 19th on Saddle Creek.

Live gig Review -Yo La Tango - The Majestic Theather - Midtown Detroit - April 18th, 2007

It Was Good and Mellow as one of my fave bands the NYC Band "Yo La Tango" play a really good 90 Minutes set at the Majestic Theater in Midtown Detroit.

They Started off the set with there classic From A Motel 6 and after that they really, really Jam out to a pretty good size crowd, as they played mostly from lated album "I Am Not Afraid of You and I Will Beat Your Ass" [yes kids, that is the title] it was mostly insermatl as they rock out to all they song the crowd was enjoying it, even if i don't all there songs they were really great as they play there song.

also when they did there encore they played on of my fave song "Sugarcube" from "I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One" also they have there opening band from "New Times Vikings" as they did some cover for two songs and that was fun to see.

they did come back for one more and it was a quite song as Drummer Georgia Hubley sang a song from a album which i cant remember the name of and it have a dance hall fell to it as i cam close up to the stage i saw a lot of the fans dance to a smooth song.

It was cool and it was mellow night all around.

The Opening band the Columbus,Ohio band "times new viking" was very fun to watch and listen to as they do there lo-fi Rock as they play song from "The Paisley Reich" which is on a indie label and new song for there debut on Matador Records.

So that is the report from the field in Detroit Culture City.

breaking culture news

Good Morning
We Do have breaking News
and i hate to say
"The Dream is Over"

Breaking Culture News


Sanjaya Done On America Idol

and we Begin this morning with news of America Idol least fave contestant ever the 17 year old kid from Federal Way, Washington, the One and only Sanjaya Malakar who people who can't stand the whole show together and found new light to ruin the show for crappy music to make More Crappy music down the road.

We keep voting him in week after week to show to prover that the indie kids have engouht for a over blown show, but tonight a from of music this blog sight can not stand "Country Music" have done Sanjaya in.

He was voted out of the crap show tonight after wounding up in the bottom two with of all people the Flint contestant LaKisha Jones who did not do well last night with the country music Format.

When Ryan Seacrest made the producer and the Judges happy when he said his name "I'm fine", "It was an amazing experience." he sang off to the Sunset by singing Bonnie Raitt - "Something to Talk About".

Minutes later the sight that began it all the Howard Stern run votefortheworst.com was this post:

"Well it couldn't last forever! Great work everyone on helping Sanjaya make the top 7, he's now the all time VFTW record holder. But as classic Worsters know, we always move on to someone new. Who will it be? Phil? Chris? Someone else? Sound off on the message board and let us know your opinion. We'll have an informal poll up soon to see what the general consensus is. It's so sad to lose our VFTW king, but we can't stop bugging the producers, they'd like that too much! So stay tuned and let's remember how much fun it was to help keep Sanjaya in the running for so long! Time to move on to Idol Gives Back, where the producers get corporations to donate money yet donate nothing out of their own ridiculously huge paychecks!"

Well All of Culture City gave it a good run for about the two weeks i did it
Howard Sten was a big help.

And Now that Idol will make the Next Star that will make millions sick to the ears

There always Countdown with Ketih Olbermann on MSNBC Every Night at 8 PM

Site Update

We i decide to post this update for my blog site

About the Blog sight, it been kind of discating this week to do the sight because i have been following the Shooting at Virginia Tech, that have been on everybody minds for the last few days and will be for the next few weeks.

I want everybody who follow indie music to keep the prayed of the victims and everybody at Virginia Tech University.

Now as you know i did not do the New Music Tuesday on Tuesday, this Tuesday because i could not get the New Music List from MTV News Web sight[I get a blank Screen]so i went to the Libary to copy the list but there was no Internet service because there AT@T line was Damage so i may tried at the end of the week to post the New Music Tuesday Guide with this week "The List".

Now i know that this blog sight is a indie culture and indie music blog sight with half focus each on what is going on inside the 313[local music and culture] and outside the 313 [on a lot of indie bands and stuff on-line and On-aired].

So this is not a hard News sight, But today is a very sad day as the nation is in moring today as the news follow the worst massacer in US history.

it should be mention on the sight.

at least 33 people were shot dead at the main Campus of Virgina Tech University in Blackburg, VA [36 miles west of Roanoke, VA] that included the shooter who then turn the gun on him self, this is what we know for the moment on the time line.

this from the Wiki page:
[Please note: This is from Wikipedia and may not be correct]

7:15 a.m.: A 9-1-1 emergency call to Virginia Tech Police reports a shooting at West Ambler Johnston Hall, leaving one person dead and another wounded.

this is the worst civilian shooting in United States, wrost than Luby's Cafeteria massacre in Texas[1991, 23 killed], worst then Columbine [1999, 16 killed], worst then clock tower shooting at the University of Texas at Austin[1966, 16 killed]but it is the second worst school-related killing since 45 people were killed when a bomb destroy a school house in Bath, Michigan[which is 10 Miles outside Lansing.

BEHIND THE VELVET ROPE: STUDIO 54 UNCOVERED
Tuesday - 5:33 PM
This is the story of how one New York nightclub came to be the spiritual home of disco. And part of its downfall. Boy George looks back on the most decadent disco in history: Studio 54, which opened its doors thirty years ago this April. It’s a tale of hedonism, ambition and sheer abandon that within three years was snuffed out forever. Forget punk, disco music is the most influential, popular and lasting cultural phenomenon from thirty years ago. Studio 54 became a symbol of that era, hugely popular yet short lived, democratic yet elitist, hedonistic yet self destructive. Outside its door, bondage trousers, safety pins and a well thumbed copy of the NME impressed no one.

THE SINATRA TRAIL
Fridays - 4:03 PM

Michael Freedland presents a four-part series looking at the life of Frank Sinatra as seen through the eyes of those who knew him. This will not be a series featuring stars, the obvious names of a few remaining contemporaries who like to think some of Sinatra's glory will rub off on them. Instead, accompanied by appropriate music, Frank's biographer Michael Freedland will talk to people whose lives were influenced by him - even if he did not know it himself
