My jaw just drop when i read this in the Detroit News Web site just after 4 PM

According to the Detroit News web site http://www.detnews.com/ The Bad economy in the Detroit area have calm a high profile victim.

The C-POP Art Gallery in midtown Detroit

the indie art place Next to the Magic Stick complex on the corner of Woodward and Willis near Wayne State may close in June.

According to owner Tom Thewes "staying open just doesn't make sense" blaming slow art sales, the Troubled of doing business in Detroit, and the building landlord's to put the building for sale on the property over a year ago and begin in bad times in the Detroit Metro Area did not help much.

there may be hope by turning the building into a mix used Venue that may incorporate C-POP if all else fail June may see the end of the edged art galley that have been located at it current location since 1998 [it stared in 1995 in Royal Oak].

Link to the story

Few Highlights from The tennessean:

But in downtown Nashville tonight, Jack revealed that he’s piled a few more huge endeavors on his plate. His brand-new band, The Dead Weather, played its first show at the invitation-only opening of White’s new Third Man Records building, which will serve as the headquarters for his record label and house a record store, photo studio and performance stage.

“This band is the first project to come out of this new system, which is our new studio in town and this building,” White said before playing a copy of the band’s debut album, Horehound, for guests.

“If one of the bands working here says, ‘Jack, there’s a great band that played at the End on Friday night, you should check these guys out,’ Saturday morning, they can come to Third Man Studios and we can cut a couple of songs. They can come back to the photo studio and we can take a photo of them. We can cut the acetate and run it down the block, and within three weeks, we can have a thousand copies of a 45 that they can sell at shows.”

The band performed for a room full of fans, friends and industry insiders that included Sheryl Crow and Martina McBride.

and the Third Man Records have a web site as well:
http://www.thirdmanrecords.com

From the web site:

Third Man Records, the imprint on which Jack White releases all of his music including The White Stripes and The Raconteurs, now has a physical location in downtown Nashville. White's new Third Man Records building serves as the company HQ and houses the label's offices plus a vinyl record store, photo studio, dark room and performance stage.

In celebration of the building's opening, the label’s newest rock outfit, The Dead Weather, delivered their first public performance with a set including songs from their forthcoming album, Horehound. The band, fronted by Alison Mosshart (known to music fans as one half of The Kills) includes The Raconteurs' Jack Lawrence on bass, Dean Fertita from Queens Of The Stone Age on guitar and Jack White on drums and vocals. In addition to playing, White also served as producer on Horehound. Recording took place earlier this year in just three weeks at the newly constructed Third Man Studio, designed from the ground up by White. Third Man plans a June release for the album.

Around 150 fans, family and friends attended the Third Man Records grand opening event and exchanged their letter-pressed invitations for limited edition 7" vinyl pressings of The Dead Weather's debut single "Hang You From The Heavens" (b/w a stealth cover of Gary Numan's "Are Friends Electric?"). The Dead Weather hand painted each of the 150 7" records that also included a different photo booth strip of the band members. Downloads of these two songs are now available exclusively through iTunes.

The Metro Times Hamtramck Bowout 12 - Day Three

2009-03-07T11:08:00.006-05:00

Last Night it was day Three of the Metro Times Hamtramck blowout and last night was a real great night for local music because it was a oh so good day with temp near the mid 60's, it would be a enjoyable night for going up and down around the hamtramck area.

There would no considering about bundle up for cold weather, it was just cool to walk to one gig to the Next gig or take the shuttle bus which is well begin run this year including the Night Move Bus which is a difference experience because it a green bus and instead of the crappy music from a radio station there was local music pump in the bus and it was all local.

not only that there was some good Vittuam Water on the front of the bus which was good for those of you tried after a full show of taking a rest from all that walking, Oh despise report that was put on the web, No i don't need a Segway thanks you very much, I am fine.

The Best part of the blowout is for new place to offer discount for the blowout and the Towbriged House of Coffee offer a discount and add a quite from a popular you tube clip of some hot head cable host to tell everybody "WILL DO IT LIVE".

After a few days of teasing to the Blog think he would show up as me[which is not true] i did see former MT and current freelance writer Johnny Loftus show up at the K and C checking out the blowout, and it look like he is doing well.

Last night was pretty full all over the place by the 11 PM some of the placed i visit it was near or almost full house when i went to the "Atlas Bar" it was full for four hours Friend, i spend the 1st ten minutes with MT Editor W. Kim Hairon until i found a spot where some of my friends was sitting, that how crowed it was.

and one more note some of the bands play much, much early, i was going to see Elle and the fonts they was going to play at 9:40 PM but play at the same time as the blue flowers, and miss Kelly jean clawell because she play early as well not only that Fred Thomas [of SLGTM fame]and Aran Ruth switch time slot so when they say line up subject to change, think it will change at the last mintue.

as for the music highlights the K of C roof blow off with the sounds of the dirtbombs which have a great line-up these days with the addition of Zachary Weedon of the readies which make a prefit match for Ko demon fuzz playing guitar, the K of C Main Hall was total full expect for the back which is amazing despite the bad sound.

also ripping the blowout was "The Terrible Twos" who punk rock was awesome and blew everybody ears at the blow out.

also good was Tone & Niche which there music is good live you always like good band with string in it and they was good.

also good and fun was four hours friends it great to see a good band who add country and rock together and not only that the girl in the band [who is the girlfriend of the lead singer] look pretty cool.

also Great and cool and also seeing them for the first time since Changing there band name from Ether Aura was "The Blueflowers" which was real cool to see the band, i had to miss them two weeks ago because i when to the back in spades show, but they sound good and at the same time look like a real pretty band may be it the addition of pretty cool base player.

Now i arrived at the carbon bar to see "Jason Croff Family Band" they was going to go on at about 12:20 AM, but end it up going on 12:40 AM i did not stick around because i took a shuttle to the Knight of Columbus to catch the dirtbombs to round up the night.

Well Tonight is the last night of the blowout and yes the blowout least fave friend "Bad Weather" will arrived, but it will not be cold and snow as in years past but it will be cold and rainy with a little bit of thunder and no it not going to be the NBA Team from OKC.

but you stay dry for THE SWAMP SISTERS, FRIENDLY FOES, SATORI CIRCUS, THE DETROIT COBRAS, CARJACK and a lot,lot more and after the Next blowout will be in 12 months from now.

Stay Safe and stay Dry.

The Metro Times Hamtramck Bowout 12 - Day Two

2009-03-06T12:54:00.004-05:00

It was Day two of the Hamtramck blowout

after getting wipe out after day one and writing my own account of day one and checking for photo and video of Day one, it good to know that the blow out was in my hometown for the next three nights.

the best part about this that i could goes out in my back year to see some great local bands.

and Since Thursday is a Work day this year the promoter push back the start times for Thursday about a Full hour and they speard the set times meaning the first band stated between 8-9 PM, this is good in past year where they all start at the same time and you have to split time two bands.

Not only that the weather which in past years have been snowy and cold with the temps on some years at about 10 with the wind chill at about -2, well yesterday i was in the low 50 with the same for tonight help with the hi at 64 and nice.

But it going to rain on Saturday, but it will rain early so i will be no problem, i Hope.

it was kind of quite no drama, expect for one drunk lady who was upset because she did not know there will be cover for the next three night for the right to get wasted too much.

Among the music highlight from Night two well it was all consertaed the kinght of Columbus hall in the city West Central side highlight by last year buzz band "The Silent years" but this was not your usual Silent years show it was a show with the five core member( Josh Epstein, Mike Majewski,Cassandra Verras,Ryan Clancy,and
Fabian Halabou) but have a hours section and not only that a Choir help out with some viocal of the songs and they was all dress up in there warm Sngglie

Lead singer Joshua Epstein did dress his best dressing in the spirit of Flaming Lips Frontman Wayne Corin dress up in a blow tie and waring a car bletbuckle, it have the crowd dancing and even i Dance a little bit with Carey Gustafson which was great.

also great last night and back up the buzz from begin on the cover of last week Detroit News My Time section now i only listen to about six or seven songs before i when to see "the decks" at the "PayChecks" but this band is real wonderful to see live and the frontman Randy Chabot is pure Genies Thur and Thur and make all Thor UK Band To Shame.

also fun last night was Marco Polio and the New Vaccines and the frontman Steve was total all over the place running around singing going nuts and in one point near the end of the set was in the hallway ask some the crowd to say some thing in the wireless mic which too some total unperpair.

Also great last night was over at the Trowbride House of Coffee where i saw the Lansing beat and tune of Public Pubes which was fun to see as they did it off the floor of stage one at the THC.

also good last night was was Sikik Nation which was good last night also got a CD for my show on WHFR-FM (Wednesdays from noon-2PM) they was good.

also playing who i saw last night was The Darts, [OK], Darling Implrial, [Really good and have not seen them in a long time], The Word Play, [Good], and the Fore-mention The Decks,[who was great].

And one more thing to wrap up the night a band that Opened up the last time Ra Ra Roit the last time they was hear Blase Splee was handing out there four songs EP of a album there making and will be out in June i listen to it over the weekend and may play it on my Wednesday WHFR Show.

The Metro Times Hamtramck Bowout 12 - Day One

2009-03-05T13:07:00.003-05:00

Well Last Night was the first day of the 12th annuls mega showcase of local music in the city which is called the hamtramck blowout, the turn out was real good with most of it coming with the early start time.

with me i was a little bit later to the show with bus problem [Mostly waiting for the bus], i did arrived at about 8:45 PM and then there was a hic-up getting my press pass, i did get my wristband but the combination of getting there and the waiting for the band led me to my the first band on the night "Electric Fire Babies" i got up to the stick just when there was ending.

I did see a lot of old friends at the blow out last night some who i have not seen in a long time like new WDET Weekend music host Ann Delise, to fame Entertainment attorney Howard Hertz, and alot of friend who i have seen a lot and some people i who know but have not seen in a long i total forget there name, Which in my bad.

There was a lot of of people one friend notice with Video Cameras mostly with for there blog mostly for you tube and mostly for the hell of it, oh yes there was you photo people and in the age of twitter Cell phones texting to there twitter site, that some thing to think of Next year.

Among the music highlights yesterday was you got it "the meatmen" the punk band who know how to crated a following with there lead singer Tesco Vee dress for the show in out fit design by Muffy Karona, the band did entertain and offend at the same time and not only that the music was not that bad but it was true punk rock.

Also i like "The Octopus" feather former member of the "Deadstring Brothers" Masha Marjieh i meet her at the Eagles of Death Metal show a few weeks ago but seeing her on stage i can say man she can sing and still look cool after the show she is my new fave muse at the moment.

Also good last night was the "The Gepetto Files" now i have seen it before years back but this time have hacking band and i was a crazy mix a puppet show with with a live band but i was pulled off.

also good last night was silverghost who sound so great with with a good film backdrop but i heard only five song because i forgot Outrageous Cherry was playing at the same time at the Majestic so i went there and they was OK last night, also great was Child bite, The Wrong Numbers and hip-hop/ R and B act "Fluent" Who was in the Metroitmes blowout cover.

after a long night for me, night two in hamtown is just getting started but it will now be up I-75.

MY TAKE: after reading the press released you can say i am a little bit disappointed it not a Monday Thu Friday gig, but don't be surprise if this becoming a slow process, hey Ann Delisi is a start for once but how are you going to ask listener to listen to a show on the slowest day of the week which is the weekend.

i think people at DET not getting the message that where all news format with the same news on 20 sourced you hear all day, but have any one seen the rating for the whole all-NPR line-up in the last rating book it a 0.9, and not to get down on the head-up at DET don't forget the weak ecomiced is still a factory.

and one more thing not to knock Ann Delisi, she is a good host who been in the scene for a long time and was really good what she did at WDET.CIDR,and as of late WRCJ and most of us remember her as host of backstage pass one of the best show to air in the 90's, but like i said having her back to do a show on a station so off the beaten path it a start.

Let me know what you think, drop me a line or at my e-mail address on the left side.

SOME MUSIC TO RETURN BACK TO WDET

yes you hear me correct, the above is true according to the Detroit News in there on line edition

the paper is reporting on there web site
[Link here]

that the New G.M. J. Mikel Ellcessor have what the paper is reporting changes in programming that will infuse the station with more Detroit music and attitude and not only that one of at DJ who have sing to be a DJ is Ann Delisi.

yes the same Ann Delisi who did DJ at the station from 1983 to 1995

the details will be mention in a Press release tomorrow,

according to the Detroit News Ellcessor said this -

When more of Detroit's radio is coming out of town, WDET is drilling deeper into the city", "At a time when so much of the world is talking about Detroit, and Detroit is absent from that conversation, the people in the city who are being talked about are like props in a play. It's vital to get their voices back up into that national dialogue."

"There will be music from somebody living and working and making music in Detroit every single hour that she is on the air," Ellcessor said. "That's a promise."

there have been no mention about this on the WDET web site it self as of 2:30 AM

the other changes at the station according to the Detroit News include a new program that will allow nonprofit arts organizations to get their news on the air, and a switch of some of the current NPR content to programs that will allow more live interaction with Detroit listeners.

but Ann Delisi will be the only DJ for now Ellcessor did said it is not turning the clock back on the all music format that was there almost five years ago, the station plans a mix of music and news that he feels is forward-looking and suited to Detroit

and why Ann Delisi well from the press released "Ann has changed and evolved over the years, as we all have," Ellcessor said. "She's coming back to WDET because we're going to create opportunities to both guide people through today's contemporary music and to get more people engaged in the WDET conversation."

To return to a partly music programs could be a help because it you have been reading the blog site in the last three years you know since most of the music program was dump by then GM Michael Coleman a lot of bands and you know a lot of bands have skip detroit Big time

the changes will go into effect Feburday 23 that two weeks away

The Culture City Interview

2009-01-27T15:32:00.000-05:00

Melody Baetens

Writer, Musicican, Booker,
Reporter, Editor, Broadcaster
Local Music Fan, And now
Co-Owner of Small Bar in Hamtramck

Last week One of the long time hero's of the Detroit Rock Scene
announced last week that she is doing some thing she never done
and now she going to do she will be the co-owner of small bar in
Hamtramck.

not only that she will book shows at small, which mean she will leave here job booking shows at the Belmont which she have done for the last five years

last week i interview Melody about the new changes in her life
and not only other things involving the Detroit rock scene and including
one other weekly thing she also leaving which air tonight.

Key:

ICFCC: Culture City
MB: Melody Baetens

ICFCC: So Melody baetens how are you doing
MB: I'm great! I'm very excited, and a little nervous.

ICFCC: just Last Thursday it was made official you are now co owner of small bar in hantramck how did you fell
MB Yes, after a month of going through the process, it's now official. I'm very hopeful that 2009 will be a great year. I'm super excited to be a bar owner and a Hamtramck business person.

ICFCC: you have almost done everything in the Detroit music scene, follower, band member, music writer, songwriter, Booker, and something total new how did you go into owning a bar in Detroit and who ask first
MB: Dave Malosh and I have been kicking around the idea of owning a bar since 2007. It always seemed like such a pipe dream. Dave was talking to Mike Mouyianis one day recently about our goals, and Mike let us in on the fact that his silent partner was ready to sell his share. It was the perfect fit, at the perfect time.

ICFCC: in a down economy these days
MB: The economy is down, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't work toward your goals. If you don't, then then economy wins.

ICFCC: now only that since you now co own the bar, you have to give up two other job, One booking bands at the Belmont on jos campau and one other job can you tell me that
MB: Yes, this Tuesday, Jan 27 is my last day co-hosting Detroit Local 101 on Riff2.[WRIF-FM HD radio side channel] It's sad, but I do so many things and I have to prioritize. My business (Small's) and my career (The Detroit News) have to come first. So I let go of the Belmont and Riff2. I will still play in bands and I still book the Meatmen.

ICFCC: you been booking band at the Belmont for five years doing Riff 2 Detroit Local 101 for three how tough was it to let go of both jobs?
MB: It's bittersweet. I'm sad, but change feels good, and it's needed. I can still go to the Belmont and see bands, hang out with Darren, Tait, Paulette and everyone. I can still see Suzy and the Riff2 crew -- I may even come in and guest host from time to time, or at least I'd like to. I will miss listening to Arthur P tease Meltdown in the jock lounge every Tuesday, though.

ICFCC: what do you mean by Meltdown
MB: Meltdown is the 7 p.m. DJ on WRIF. He does Mandatory Metallica!

ICFCC: you do have a day job at the Detroit News as a Writer and Editor, recently both the News And The Other Detroit Paper the Detroit Free Press announce changes in how the paper are present and deliver[Now Three Days a week beging in late march] in a effort to reverse a down thernd in the paper as more people of to the net to get there news instead the paper did those come into play in owning small?
MB: No, I would've invested in Small's even if the papers didn't announce this.

ICFCC: So what kind of plan do you have for small now that you now co-own it
MB: I've always loved Small's, so I want it to stay mostly the same. I'd like to go back to having 2-4 live shows a week. I'm excited to do more comprehensive promotion. I want to have more national acts. Mike and I will be working together to flush out the schedule and make it awesome. I also want to add wine, and some of the newer liquors.

ICFCC: you mean that good bands that i like that have skip detroit every time i read pitchfork.com
MB: Yes!

ICFCC: that bring a this question why do all the good band me or the other blogger in town skip Detroit these days it look like they go on tour and it Cleveland, Toledo and Chicago or Toronto and we get left out and even thry play SE Michigan in Royal Oak, Pontiac and Ann Arbor or worst Western Michigan?
MB: It could be a number of factors. Routing, is one. Booking agents strive to include Columbus because it's a college town, and Chicago because of the obvious, and sometimes a Detroit stop is swept under the mat. Also, many times bands don't decide where they go, they have a label, management and/or booking agent that fills in the dates for them. Another issue may be money. Bands get more for playing Chicago than Detroit because more people go out in Chicago. The Chicago promoters can guarantee more money because more people are likely to show up. The only reason I can see for booking in Grand Rapids instead of Detroit is that GR is a college town. Detroit is a college town too, but people outside the city rarely see it that way. I think playing Royal Oak or Ann Arbor should be considered a "Detroit stop," at least that's the way the booking agents are figuring it. I'd say, if you want your favorite bands to play Detroit, tell them, and tell their record label or booking agent as well!

ICFCC: do you think radio is a big time factory because of the WDET programming distaer back in 2005 [music to NPR News]
MB I never thought of that. I do think that having a lot of local and indie music played on the radio is important. I just started listing to WDET a year ago, so I don't really know how it was in 2005.

ICFCC: because other than the HD side channels life riff 2 Commerical radio total sucks

MB: I can see why you would say that. I do like to listen to WRIF in the morning, and WCSX at night. Their HD station Deep Tracks is pretty good.

ICFCC: a few more question before end the interview where the Local music scene and the Indie Music Scene be from now in about five years will the scene more tracking as they move away from bad pop music.
MB: It's time to go back to the 90s. Annette (my band mate in the Swamp Sisters) and I have been talking about it for about a year, and Ryan Allen is on board too. The 90s are far enough away, that we miss them, and I think the music of the 90s will start to influence more musicians in the near future. I know Swamp Sisters hope to channel Belly, Veruca Salt and Silverchair when we record our upcoming single.

ICFCC: So will see the second coming of those band and may be the reunion of the legend riot girl band Sleater-Kinney
MB: *silence*

Well i like to thanks Melody for taking time out of her buzy time to do this interview and wish her a lot of luck at small.

as she mention her last show on Detroit Local 101 on this Tuesday, you can listen to it on WRIF - FM HD2 at 101.1 Tonight at 10PM to Midnight, if you don't get a HD Radio you can listen on the Riff 2 Web Site at www.riff2.com and if you really want to celebrate there will be Detroit Local 101 listening party at where else Small tonight from 10 to midnight small is localtied at 10339 Conant St in hamtramck.

Crying, Waiting, Hoping: The Story of Buddy Holly's Last Tour
Saturday - 2 PM

Steve Harley tells the story of the 'Winter Dance Party', an ill-advised bus tour of the Midwest, which ended tragically with the deaths of Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper.

The sound of Buddy Holly And The Crickets prefigured the coming wave of rock 'n' rollers in the Sixties, influencing musicians like The Hollies and The Beatles. In the aftermath of his death, Holly's legend has grown in books, on stage, and on screen.

This programme looks at the personal and business circumstances which led Buddy Holly to embark on this relatively second-division tour, and the seemingly unrelated incidents that conspired to bring about his death.

It also covers the legal issues which have affected Buddy Holly's legacy and re-assesses the often-overlooked talents of Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper.

The programme features new interviews with the two surviving members of Holly`s touring band, guitarist Tommy Allsup and drummer Carl Bunch, as well as contributions from Crickets' drummer Jerry `J.I` Allison and guitarist Sonny Curtis.

There are also memories and thoughts from Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Keith Richards, Don Everly, Hank Marvin, Carl Perkins, Bobby Vee, Little Richard, Los Lobos, Tony Hicks of The Hollies, Mike Pender of the Searchers, Maria Elena Holly and Don Mclean.

Among the many topics touched on in this wide-ranging programme are Bruce's hopes for the Obama era in America, his thoughts on the recent death of long time band member Danny Federici, the influence that his childhood still has on his work today and why he thinks American supermarkets are hotbeds of lust.

The "PLAY" List for the Weekending Jan 18th

2009-01-19T06:45:00.000-05:00

We beging this week edtion with a little bit of change
as you proable know by now or you don't know by now
last week the owner of LA radio station KDLD-FM [103.1]
better know for most of you as Indie 103.1 deceid to
swich format form indie music to a Spanish language music
format and a lot of those indie fans was sad and disapoined
as there fave music for five year as on of the best radio station
in the US by rolling stone magitzine was off the air as the station
was pulled from terrestrial airwaves to on-line radio only

I know it kind of suck because we all have been there
like 1992 when WDTX [99.5 the fox/ Now WYCD-FM Young Country}
Swich there from Top 40 Music [Which i still like at the time]
to a cover format to FM Talk which lasted 6 months show they air
that contry music which they still air today, i which i can tell you
the full story, but here a wiki link for the full story.

and 2005 when the free-from music die on WDET-FM when
Michael Coleman fired Martin Bandyke[who now working at WQKL-FM]
and after that every body else on the station as goes all NPR
and the Detroit Music Scene have never the same since
and almost every indie band have skip detroit
Thank a lot.

Well as a vetren of Detroit Radio [on the Radio and on-line]
we know how it feel to lose a station that you like
and real people who put passtion in the music that they play
and in this sad case of affier of Radio where a computer
run the station i know it stuck big as asking the question why
the Black KIds/ Mates of state joint tour is skiping Detroit
i thought so

So this frist thing on the list is what would become the
last show of Indie 103.1 New Music Show Dead air which aired
on Jan 11st 2009, to prove you can kill the indie kids for
a boys bands trio who will be forgotten in five years.

Hitsville USA
Mondays 6:30

As part of Radio 2's Motown Season, Pete Mitchell unearths rare treasures, re-examines old truths and hears about every side of the Motown label, from the likes of Smokey Robinson, Mary Wilson and Brian Holland.

Part 2: Just My Imagination - The Sound and The Songs

Prolific writers Brian Holland and Eddie Holland talk us through how to write a song for Hitsville.

We hear the early versions of the songs, the B-sides and reversions, and learn how they were made into chart-topping polished products.

Stubborn Kind of Fella: Remembering Marvin Gaye

Tuesdays - 11:30

On 1st April 2009, it will be 25 years since soul legend Marvin Gaye was shot dead by his father. This is another chance to hear Smokey Robinson paying tribute to his life and music; and re-examines his legacy as one of the most influential soul singers of the 20th Century

The Sound of America: A Global Inspiration

Saturday - 2 PM

Pete Mitchell looks at the far-reaching influence the Motown sound has had on artists and musicians around the world. Since its inception in 1959 the sound of young America has inspired many artists making music to this day - in some cases it has completely changed their lives.

Mitchell gathers together an eclectic mix of musicians to talk about the label. He talks to one of the world's greatest living contemporary jazz artists, Diane Reeves, who herself was born in the motorcity; rock legend Lenny Kravitz about how his life changed when he heard the Jackson Five for the first time; singer-songwriter Sheryl Crow who cut her teeth playing in a Motown covers band; punk queen Siouxsie Sioux, who was inspired by the music of Stevie Wonder; poet Billy Bragg on how his first political stirrings were brought on by Motown; American electro synth outfit Sparks on the string of brilliant Motown 45’s; and Paul Weller on how his Motown obsession still features in his music to this day.

There are also Motown musings from Incognito, Eddy Grant, Martin Fry of ABC, Alexander O’Neal, Nile Rodgers and Suggs.

Motorcity Blues

On Air Right Now

Against a backdrop of racism, segregation, poverty, inadequate housing, the civil rights movement, and the worst riot in American history, the Motor City would emerge as the world’s number one automobile manufacturer and the world’s greatest exporter of soul music.

The promise of assembly-line jobs in the auto plants lured many southerners to Michigan, and the prospect of a new life in a new town was irresistible too many. The city would become a vibrant and intense melting pot. The heart of the African American community was centered around an area known locally as Black Bottom, located on the Near East Side. It was here that the early music scene of Detroit began.

Pete Mitchell travels to Detroit to track down the many artists left behind when the Motown label left the city in 1972. At the HQ of ‘Hitsville USA’, Smokey Robinson explains how the Motown magic was created. Plus, Pete visits the homes of the some of the people who contributed to the phenomenal success of the greatest black music record label of all time, including Mary Wilson of the Supremes, Otis Williams of the Temptations, Duke Fakir of the Four Tops, Kim Weston, Dennis Coffey and Uriel Jones of the Funk Brothers, the Marvelettes, the Contours and the Velvellettes.

These programmes were made with the help of Billy Wilson of the Motown Alumni Association.

who pass away last week in his Ann Arbor home of a heart Attack
at the age of 60

it will be held this Saturday January 17th at Music Hall Center for the Performing Arts in Downtown Detroit and it begin dubbed "Ronnie ...Thanks a Million: An Elegant Farewell to a Beloved Friend"

it is begin put on and hosted by hosted by Asheton's former muse and band mate in the late 70's punk pop group Destroy All Monsters, the artist Niagara, along with her partner Colonel Galaxy.

The Program will begin at 9 PM, There will be tributes to Asheton by friends and those influenced by him, a film retrospective by Tim Caldwell, and Asheton's own music will be played.

it will go until 11 PM where it will shift to the Music Hall's Jazz Café where special performance by Asheton's former Dark Carnival band mates, led by Bootsey X & the Lovemasters, and some "very special friends will play in honor of their late band mate and friend."

admission is Free, but Asheton's friends and fans are asked to donate whatever they can to cover the night's expenses, as well as the guitarist's favorite charity, the Michigan Humane Society.

In a statement, Niagara and the Colonel said: "Ron Asheton was more than an innovative guitarist, he was an easygoing, subtly hilarious guy who, simply and effectively, created a sound and aesthetic which will forever reverberate as long as there are guitar players. Ron maximized his early work into postmodern art of the highest order. In retrospect, Ron's influence cannot be overstated, only imitated. Ronnie used to like to say, 'Thanks a million,' in mock gratitude when joking with friends. Now here's our last chance to say, 'Ronnie... Thanks a Million.' "

The Music Hall Center for the Performing Arts is at 350 Madison
in downtown Detroit Right Across the Street from the Gem Theater.

Also for the 1st time since his Friend Death Iggy Pop talk call to Deminski & Doyle program on WCSX [94.7 FM] in the inter view that was recorded on Friday and play this morning he told the pair “As long as I don’t think about it, I’m OK. And then when I think about it, I’m not OK… He had a beautiful touch as a musician.

“He developed such a unique sound and approach to his instrument and writing that I don’t think that everybody got it at first, but over the years other generations caught on,”, “I think a lot of good musicians were influenced by what Ron pioneered.”

he then told the Pair that he found out about the death on the phone
“I woke up and got a cell phone message last Tuesday morning from my U.K. manager for the Stooges. He just said, ‘Call me, I really need to talk to you.’ From the tone of his voice I knew something really big was up. So I called him in Europe. He said, ‘I got some bad news for you.’ From the tone of that, I had an immediate interior reaction. He then told me Ron had passed away.”

Asked what bands he thought were most influenced by Asheton’s style, Iggy answered, “The most obvious would be Sonic Youth… bands that use dissonance and overdrive. I hear a little bit in Smashing Pumpkins… also in Nirvana.”

There is More in this 24 minutes interview you can find the full interview

Remembering Ron Asheton

2009-01-06T22:52:00.007-05:00

Over the Last two days of reading story's on the passing of Stooges guitarist
Ron Asheton who pass away yesterday at the age of 60.

i decide to search the web for rememberced of the late great guitarist
and i found a lot with the source of the Quietes []

if you want to add you rememberec you can fire off a E-mail at culturecitynewstips[at]yahoo[dot]com

the 1st quite is from the Ron best friend in the world
Iggy Pop.

-----------------------------------------

We are shocked and shaken by the news of Ron’s death. He was a great friend, brother, musician, trooper. Irreplaceable. He will be missed.

For all that knew him behind the façade of Mr Cool & Quirky, he was a kind-hearted, genuine, warm person who always believed that people meant well even if they did not.

As a musician Ron was The Guitar God, idol to follow and inspire others. That is how he will be remembered by people who had a great pleasure to work with him, learn from him and share good and bad times with him.

Iggy, Scott, Steve, Mike and Crew

-----------------------------------------

I am in shock. He was my best friend.

Iggy Pop
[via iggypop.com]

-----------------------------------------

"I would hang out with those guys, watch TV, smoke a joint and relax,", "We'd laugh, we'd crack jokes. They weren't so serious. They were aware of the revolution, they were aware of the times, but they just liked to have fun. Their outlook on life was a little less serious."

Dennis Thompson - longtime friend, drummer, MC5.
[via Detroit News]

-----------------------------------------

“To me, he was the epitome of raw punk,”, “He wasn’t flashy or over the top. It was raw. The riffs he wrote stood the test of time.”

“He was like a kid in a candy store, just so excited,”, “He wasn’t afraid to show it. Some people are too cool, but he was obviously very happy and proud.”

Jason Stollsteimer - Von Bondies Front man and guitarist
[via Detroit Free Press]

-----------------------------------------

"'I Wanna Be Your Dog' was my fuzz-wah guitar bible as a kid," Diamond said. "I learned a lot about how to really play the guitar listening to Ron Asheton growing up. That guy showed you that wild and loose was the way to go."

Jim Diamond - producer, Ghetto Recorders
[via Detroit News]

-----------------------------------------

"The thing about his playing is that, unlike the MC5, it wasn't based in blues or any rock 'n' roll that had come before. There weren't any Chuck Berry licks in it, there weren't any recognizable blues licks in what he did, it was something that he totally invented and came directly from his soul. There was no precedent for it. It was almost like John Lee Hooker where you can't discern any influences. It seemed to have come from a primal place. I've tried to imitate his style and been semi-successful, but it's a really idiosyncratic style of playing. His playing totally blows me away."

Danny Kroha - guitarist, the Readies and the Demolition Doll Rods
[via Detroit Free Press]

-----------------------------------------

"To me, the Asheton brothers were the stars of the reunion. They deserved it. Ron's playing was so direct. When you look at the 'Fun House' album ... everything that he played was great. It's the same with the other guys, too. They had their own sound, and it was totally to the point. In later years, maybe because people had put down his guitar playing, Ron started playing a million notes in his solos and it was frustrating. Nobody could play those rhythms like Ron. You could have a million people covering 'I Wanna Be Your Dog' and they would all sound like (profanity) except when Ron played it.

Bootsey X - singer and a member of Dark Carnival with Asheton
[via Detroit Free Press]

------------------------------------------

"Here it is -- Ron was the Christopher Columbus of rock 'n' roll. He knew there was a new world out there and from Day 1 when he was a teenager, he knew that was what he wanted to do. That was his calling, his mission in life. ... Ron didn't have a musical background playing in bar bands and that sort of rootsy stuff -- he taught himself everything.

"It turned out to be something that was completely unique. It was a breakaway from the traditional way of playing guitar. He had a great sense of rhythm and harmonics. The whole thing always sounded good. That's the bottom line -- if something sounds good, it is good. The Stooges guys weren't great musicians, that isn't what it was about. It was about the spirit. ... They approached everything from a very primitive level and it struck a chord with people. Ron lived for that band. It was everything to him."

Michael Davis, MC5 bassist also a member of Destroy All Monsters with Asheton
[via Detroit Free Press]

------------------------------------------

I also remember Ron being angry over some things Iggy once said that ended up in a story I did back in the '90s. Iggy had come to town, the conquering hero as usual, and saw a lot of his old friends and bandmates, including Ron. Later on a limo ride to the airport, Iggy told me it saddened him to see old friends living in the same places, doing the same things. I think Ron took that personally, and he wasn't happy with Iggy for a while after that.

That had a happy ending later, when Iggy got the group back together for a well-received comeback.

Susan Whitall - Music Writer, Detroit News
[via Detroit News]

------------------------------------------

"Wherever great musicians go when they pass, Ron is there and they're better for it. He was a decent man."

-----------------------------------------

"a kind and gentle, good man ... a legendary figure from a legendary band."

Scott Morgan - lead singer, Scott Morgan Powertrane
[via Ann Arbor News]

------------------------------------------

"He was always approachable and always helpful to local bands. And he could go on for hours with stories about show business and people he'd run into over the years."

"When the whole Stooge reunion happened (in 2005-07), he started to get attention and people were focusing on his place in history," "The last three or four years he was starting to get the notoriety, attention and financial rewards for all the work he had been doing. It's too bad he didn't get to enjoy that more."

Alan Goldsmith - music journalist
[via Ann Arbor News]

------------------------------------------

"He was a mesmerizing guitar player. He was not a showman, he didn't show off very much, but if you listened it just got into your blood. I saw him at the Fox (Theater) when they had a reunion after a long absence. I was immediately transported back to the Grande Ballroom (a Detroit venue of the 1960s and '70s). He was one of the greatest guitar players coming out of this area, I believe."

Leni Sinclair - legionnaire music photographer
[via Ann Arbor News]

-------------------------------------------

"The sound coming from his guitar was just the most unbelievable thing I had ever heard; bursts of feedback-laced shrapnel. I was awe struck then, and I still am to this day every time I play their records,"

Dianna Frank - marketing manager, Live Nation/Detroit
[via Ann Arbor News]

-------------------------------------------

"He was one of a kind and he marched to his own drum. ... He tended to use not a whole lot of chords, but he had a certain style of chording where the E strings would drone and then he would slide up and down the neck and then there's the volume of it -- the wall of sound that he was able to produce from one guitar. He was very inspirational and he'll continue to be so."

Steve Mackay - Stooges, saxophonist
[via Detroit Free Press]

-------------------------------------------

"I think the way he played guitar and the way The Stooges played as a band took rock music back to the primeval basics,"

"He seemed to play really instinctively, really raw, he had amazing guitar playing. Songs like 'I Wanna Be Your Dog' were really simple but with the kind of riff that you can't believe no-one had thought of before. That was just absolutely amazing."

Stuart Braithwaite - Mogwai frontman Stuart Braithwaite
[Via NME]

-------------------------------------------

"I just loved The Stooges, "Ron's was a totally original style: really fucking sexy and wild and reckless and free.

"He was a free rock 'n' roll guitarist. He made up his own style – there's nobody else who sounded llike Ron Asheton. As soon as you hear the first chords of any Stooges song you knew it was him playing.

"He had killer riffs. 'No Fun', 'Down On The Street', 'I Wanna Be Your Dog' – all those songs you identify with a guitar riff even before Iggy [Pop] starts singing. He's one of the greats, I think."

Bobby Gillespie, Primal Scream frontman
[Via NME]

-------------------------------------------

I knew Ron since early 1977. He never had any trace of conceit or ego and was easily one of the very best songwriters ever to come out of Detroit. He looked cooler than anyone playing onstage and he NEVER made a single mistake in any live show I ever saw him play. His talent and humanity will be terribly missed by everyone who ever knew him.

------------------------------------------

Asheton was a true trailblazer. I’m just thankful I was able to catch him live at the Stooges’ 2003 reunion show at DTE Energy, in spite of the statewide blackouts that threw a wrench into the scheduling of the event. It was one of the most memorable, balls-out rock’n'roll concerts I’ve ever attended.

Ron Asheton 1948-2008

Ron Asheton[Left] with the Stooges

It with Deep Regret as the Editor of the Culture City Blog
i give a the sad News that Ron Asheton the Oringal guitarist of Iggy and the Stooges
Have pass Away in his home in Ann Arbor.

the News have speard like wild fire in all the blogs, myspace pages and the regular news site, Ron was found dead early this morning after Ann Arbor police got a called from his personal assistant at about midnight after not reaching him in several days.

Ann Arbor Police Sgt. Brad Hill told the Detroit Free Press that they did a welfare check and found him in his living room sitting on his couch, Ann Arbor police is conduting a investigation, but told the free press that foul play is not suspected.

aldought no causes have been reported yet, he may have die of natural causes.

Ron Along with his brother, Scott Asheton, Dave Alexander and legionnaire front man Iggy Pop form one of the best bands to come out in the late 60's to come out of Detroit, become on the first true rock and roll band to come out of the Detroit area that was not tie to the Motown record era.

They From in 1967 in that small college town of Ann Arbor, Michigan they played gig around the S.E. Michigan area, they was discover and sing to Elektra record in 1968.

They released there self title debut record in August of 1969 which spawn one of there famous song "I Wanna Be Your Dog" which became a trademark of there live show and have been cover by Sonic Youth and also "No Fun" which was also cover by The Sex Pistols.

They released the Follow up record Fun House in July of 2007 altought it was not a big seller as the debut it was voted by UK music Magazine "Q" was voted Loudest Album Eve in 2007.

it also spawn songs that have been cover and played on DJ night like "T.V. Eye", "1970" and "Loose"[which have been cover by "the Blake Babies]

after touring of the album they broke up but in 1973 they reform to put out the iconic album "Raw Power" guitarist James Williamson replace Dave Alexander who was fighting alcoholism Ron switch back to bass. it was called one of the most important proto-punk documents of its era.

The Band drop out after there label Columbia drop them after they tour for almost a year, after the band broke up after that he play in bands in and around the Detroit and Ann Arbor Area. among them The New Order (not to be confused the UK band of the same name which from in the late 70's), New Race, and Destroy All Monsters which was fronted by the lovely punk rock artist Niagara

but after almost 30 year begin apart they reunite in 2003 to be apart of Iggy Pop "Skull Ring" Which was released in Late of 2003 at the same year they play a legionnaire reunion show a the DTE Energy Music Theatre, it was a show that have opener "Sonic Youth" and "The Von Bondies" as you all know that show was going to go on August 20 but it was delay for about a week because of a black Out that hit the Detroit Area that Night.

It was rescheduled a week later but that didn't slow down that band a they put one of the best show of the year, it was captured for a live DVD which was called Iggy & the Stooges: Live in Detroit Which was released in march of 2004

there was good Vibe from that show they record a new album in 2007 called "The Weirdness", it was the first studio album of new material in almost 30 years

2008-12-27T15:56:00.004-05:00

Well Merry X-mas and Happy Holidays to all you out there
i hope you had a great X-mas i know that i did aldought it was not much
i guess

With 2008 almost over i think it was the perfit time to do the 3rd annuals Culture City Festive 50 for 2008, that is all the band that matter to you in 2008 but before i get to 2008, i have some unfinish Business to take care of.

I was at this time last year i was doing the 2007 version festive 50 until a slow moving distaster happened to this blog site on my end and yes it was a distaster,

as i was doing the 2007 version of the festive 50 my Computer which i do this blog site caught a bad computer Virus and worst my computer was showing sing of slowing down, there was pop up happing almost ever three minutes and it was slowing down a lot with every used, so in a effot to not ruin the computer so much i stop posting on this blog site on New Year Eve in 2007 with what going on New Year Eve.

I Did Not post aging until May 18th almost four and half months later and that though me a big time curve ball it was real tough to get back on track to do the blog site aging and doing on a daily bias was almost a pain in the butt.

I did try a few times to do the warp up to the Festive 50 but could not come up with the wright date, and not only that i took time off aging with some post on and off from Mid-October to late December because of family issued and not only that my dad was in the hospital for about three weeks at the same time i took a tele-communication course class at Henry Ford Community College in Dearborn with the class Completion over two weeks ago.

With the New year here in almost five days as of this writing i decide to fire up the site aging to do the 2008 Culture City Festive 50 but i decide to finish the 2007 Festive 50 and it won't be long it a Top 10 from Ten to One with a recap at the start of the post to the finish.

Hope you enjoy a little bit from last year and this year Festive 50.

The Culture City Interview - Back in spades Frontman Stephen Palmer

2008-12-20T11:17:00.002-05:00

During the height of the Detroit gardge scene early in this decade, there was a lot band hoping to be the next big band to come out of detroit, one of thouse bands was back in spade this 4-pieced band was a fan fave during live show with there blues-style of rock.

there was love, even one of there song was Detroit Slums was name little stephen coolest snog in the world on his syndicated underground gardge radio show back in 2004. and then when they reach the heights of popular they went there separt way and Never was hear aging.

ICFCC: i am doing find on this day[Tuesday 12/16], 'Well back in spade a great band in Detroit after the white stripes go mainstream, was a solid band for three years before you guys went your speared ways and now you are back together, first of all how did this reunion happed and why small's

SP:thanks steve! we were given an opportunity to play at smalls by mike mouyanis back in october - everyone felt good about it, so we had a couple rehearsals and we're excited to play on the 20th.

ICFCC: have you patch things up with the other members bacause it has been a long time since you play in the same room together.

SP:yes, it's been about four years, though we're happy at how well things clicked back into place during rehearsals.

ICFCC: did you fell good vibe aging?

SP: yes, it was nice to get in the same room and play together. i hadn't seen nick bataran in over a year and we're all very busy - so, there was definently a good vibe!

ICFCC: so i know you fans have been asking you why did you break up in the first place?

SP: well, we had a good run of about 3 years - we had great times and great shows. we had a bit of an accelerated lifespan due to the intensity levels of the personalities in the band. sometimes conditions like that can result in great creativity and more often, it causes an implosion.

ICFCC: So how did you rebuild the from the Ruble form that implosion?

SP: well, i should mention that we have no long term plans to reform. we were interested in playing this one show to have a good time...though, we're not ruling anything out...

ICFCC: Like a great show this saturday

SP: yes, we're really looking forward to it!

ICFCC: i know you guys for the last few years, but for my readers what have you done since back in spade broke up

SP: i've had a few projects over the years and i'm working on a record now which i'm very happy about.

ICFCC: What kind kind of band where you in? for thouse of us remember

SP: mostly bands in the "joke" or "fake" genre

ICFCC: so what is your new project are you in is it a solo project of a new band

SP: the new project is called "palmer's penthouse" and it's a recording project so far - but i hope to have a band again.

ICFCC: Now you are calling the project a penthouse, now dont tell me or a ladies man or you have a girlfriend

SP: hahaha!!!!! you have an open invitation to palmer's penthouse anytime if you'd like to see for yourself!

ICFCC: OK i will conserder that, hummm!

SP: you should start Culture City's penthouse!

ICFCC: I dont know

SP: just an idea.

ICFCC: steve Palmer OMG....OK

SP: i will consider that last statement the "gotcha" moment of the interview.

ICFCC: Now when back in spade 1st broke out the detroit rock scene was big fule by the stripes and the von bondies the dirtbombs and other and now here we are in 2008 and the scene is back to a reg. scene, are you comfeable with that or do you think the rock Scene have more to offer?

SP: there are still many great bands in detroit and the city definently still has alot of talent to offer

ICFCC: so what band have you been digging to Inside the 313 and out side the 313

SP: i'm a fan of the dead bodies, the go, high strung, zoos of berlin, wildcatting, scarlet oaks and many others but i'm not able to go out and support bands as much as i would like to.

ICFCC: is that because of work or trying to get out

SP:i can't handle the smoke.

ICFCC: i know the bloing smoke suck, Is there a band that nobody have heard before that all of culture city should hear of

SP: you might be asking the wrong person. i listen to talk radio.

ICFCC: There is the internet, for music and you listen to talk radio, Why

SP: i am interested in current events, news and politics. i play music everyday and i guess i'm in my own bubble most of the time.

ICFCC: One more question, the name of band "Back in Spades" where did you get you name in a back year poker game or what?

SP: Yes.

ICFCC: tell my reader the story

SP: i knew we'd be a powerful live band. i consciously wanted to be in a heavier guitar and drum group. so, regarding the name - i liked the notion, but not the literal meaning of a card game, but inevitably, that's what people think.

ICFCC: Well thank you very much for this interview is there any thing that you want to say before saturday show?

SP: i've got blisters on my fingers!

ICFCC: Well thank you very much for the interview have fun on saturday and will talk to you soon

Documentaries

Bobby Darin – A Man In A Hurry

Fridays 2:00 PM

Sir Tim Rice presents the story of actor and musician Bobby Darin, who died 35 years ago on 20 December, 1973.

A multi-talented, versatile performer and composer, Bobby Darin bestrode the music scene from rock 'n' roll, folk and country to big band and the America Popular Songbook.

Never has a performer made so many successful career turns in such a short, brilliant career. Darin was even seen as a serious rival to Frank Sinatra for a short time.

The series will feature many brand new interviews with a host of personalities, including Steve Blauner (Bobby Darin’s manager of many years), Jimmy Scalia (the official Bobby Darin archivist) and Teri Koenig (Darin’s sister-in-law and "valet").

In Dreams: The Roy Orbison Story

Mondays 6:30 PM

To mark the 20th anniversary of Roy Orbison’s death, Mark Lamarr presents a new four part documentary, telling the story of the Grammy-award winning singer/songwriter, guitarist and pioneer of rock ‘n’ roll.

Roy Orbison’s career spanned more than four decades, but his personal life suffered great heartache.

The series includes contributions from David Lynch, Don McLean, Barbara Orbison, Joe Melson (the man credited with creating the Orbison sound and co-writer of Only The Lonely), Bill Dees (who co-wrote Oh Pretty Woman), band member Bob Moore and many more.

For The Good Times - The Kris Kristofferson Story

Kris Kristofferson's career is the stuff of legends. His songs have been recorded by over 450 artists, he has had over 17 Top 40 albums and won three Grammy Awards.

He has earned his status as living legend with songs such as Me and Bobby McGee, Help Me Make It Through The Night and For The Good Times.

Kris has also starred in over 90 films, including A Star Is Born alongside Barbra Streisand, for which he was awarded the Golden Globe for Best Actor.

High And Mighty

Tuesday 10:30 PM

Bee Gees star Robin Gibb, celebrates the story of the falsetto voice from church music to chart hits via castrati and doo-wop bands.

He uncovers falsetto singing in almost every style of music making including heavy metal, cosmic 70s, comedy song and power ballads.

Robin plays examples of all "high and mighty" music, and gives a master class on how the falsetto sound is made and why it is the most natural thing to do for a man who wants to reach the high notes.

This Week - Too Much Too Young

Paul Sexton tells the story of the 2 Tone record label and the band at its centre, The Specials.

In 1979, 2 Tone exploded on to the UK music scene. Led by The Specials, an invasion of ska bands had the whole country dancing. The Specials captured the times perfectly with a series of hit singles and albums that tackled social issues, unemployment and racism.

The 2 Tone label was the brainchild of Jerry Dammers of The Specials, whose plan was to create his own Coventry-based version of Motown Records.

Paul Sexton traces the fortunes of 2 Tone Records, from its early successes to its demise in 1985 and ponders their possible re-union. First broadcast on Radio 2.

Watch to watch for Tonight

2008-11-04T17:35:00.002-05:00

And with the first poll close
here is a story from today Detroit News
to what to watch for tonight on this historic night

Pundits and pollsters may be trying to take all the fun out of Election Day. So many have predicted a lopsided victory for Sen. Barack Obama over Sen. John McCain that you might wonder why even to bother watching the returns tonight.

The fact is, there is plenty of mystery -- and there is only one poll that counts.

Aim to have the popcorn popped and to be on the couch no later than 7 p.m. Now, a guide of highlights to watch for today:

Advertisement

Setting the table: The networks are not supposed to call a state until all the polls in that state have closed. But there will be lots of raw data online, so you can go on the Web, check the returns and try calling the state yourself.

And they're off: The suspense starts in Indiana. Most polls close at 6 p.m. and others at 7 p.m. Indiana is a ruby red state where Obama has been running closely with McCain. Be wary of results that do not include Gary, a city with a substantial African-American population. If Obama wins it, Indiana could be the canary in the coal mine predicting disaster ahead for McCain.

• Also, at 7 p.m., polls close in Virginia and Georgia, and polls close in most of Florida and New Hampshire.

All eyes will quickly veer to Virginia, which Obama has labored to win. If he succeeds in the former capital of the one-time Confederacy, he will most likely do exceedingly well the rest of the night. Subtracting Virginia from the Republican column would give McCain very few routes to 270 electoral votes.

Orange crush? Florida, a voting experience unto itself. Whoever wins Florida, the fourth-largest state, gets a big leg up on winning the presidency. Again, if McCain loses here, his path narrows. But the race is so close that Florida may not portend much about the rest of the country.

Palate cleansers: At 7:30 p.m., polls close in Ohio and North Carolina. While Ohio is the bigger prize, keep your eyes on North Carolina (where officials have the option of keeping the polls open until 8:30 p.m. if there are problems). North Carolina is a red state that is newly competitive, again thanks to an Obama ground organization. If North Carolina votes for Obama, the map is likely to bleed blue for the rest of the night.

As for Ohio, it is not clear whether the adage still applies that no Republican has won the presidency without carrying Ohio since Abraham Lincoln.

Main course: At 8 p.m., Pennsylvania and Missouri finish voting.

Pennsylvania, of course, is the keystone to McCain's survival strategy: It is the one big blue state where he has staked his claim, in anticipation of losing some smaller red states. If he wins there, it would keep him alive and scramble the picture for Obama. Missouri is another red state where the contest looks close. But it frequently has voting issues that delay the count, so don't expect right away to add this to one column or the other. When you do get results, Missouri is usually with the winner.

The call: Conventional wisdom suggests that if Obama wins, he would do so early, because the polls in so many toss-up states -- Indiana, North Carolina, Ohio and Florida -- close early. Long lines or problems could delay the count. Watch to see how skittish, or not, the networks are about calling the states and the final outcome.

A two-screen night: This is the first presidential election in which the Web will be a major source of live information. This puts even more pressure on the networks to remind viewers of their resources and heft -- and to offer something different. Check out the holograms on CNN. The networks are offering more bells and whistles this year, but they are competing with cable channels and their own Web sites.

A note of caution: If a network calls a state, you might be able to extrapolate something. But if a network does not call a state, don't read too much into it.

Here's what else is at stake in today's election:

• Senate: Voters in 33 states will choose 35 senators, 33 for six-year terms. Special elections are being held in Mississippi and Wyoming, to fill the remaining four years in seats now held by gubernatorial appointees. At stake are 23 seats held by Republicans and 12 by Democrats.

• House: All 435 House seats are up for election. Republicans hold 199 seats, Democrats 235, with one vacancy.

• Governors: Voters in 11 states are electing governors, with tight races in Washington, North Carolina and Indiana. Republicans are trying to chip away at Democrats' 28-22 gubernatorial majority ahead of 2010, when 36 states elect governors.

• Ballot measures: There are 153 measures on ballots in 36 states, including divisive proposals to ban abortion in South Dakota, outlaw affirmative action in Colorado and Nebraska, and ban same-sex marriage in three states, including California -- where thousands of gays and lesbians have wed since a court ruling in May.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN FROM CULTURE CITY

A Gig Gudie Alter and a note from Me

2008-10-31T11:42:00.003-04:00

Before i begin, i want to say sorry for the Lack of post over the last few weeks
i been doing other things away from the computer so i have not been doing the sight on a daily bais.

now i will admit the four months at the begin of the yes have knock me off big time
i have posting on and off this year so with only two months left in 2008 i will keep it on the download and hopeful i can rev up for 2009.

and dont worry i will do the 2008 Festive 50 during the Xmas Break after a on and off January break to take care of the office where i do my blog sight

so every things is Kind of under control

Now it would not be a blog sight with out News so if you are going
out you should be reminded the return of Funk night at the Contemporary Art Institute of Detroit scheduled for Halloween Night have been cancelled.

It was going to be the 1st all night dance party since the Late May raid by Detroit Police the resulted in almost 130 arrest mostly for loitering in a after hours club
but as any one know this is one of the most pubisced story in Detroit Culture history in the last five years putting next to the Jack vs Jason brawl at the Magic stick and the WDET dumping it music programing.

Now the reason for the cancellation was tickets sale was slow for the event which require membership to the CAID itself[$20 for one year.] and it was going to be for it member only and the people who was caught in the raid back in May was going to get in free with reservations phone in ahead of time.

there was not engought ticket begin sold and not of reservations came in so the whole night was scrub big time, the ticket to the night will be refund of will get a T-shirts.

Now there is some info on the CAID in the Raid, as you know back in September the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office dismiss loitering charges against 116 patrons who was just there.

But the remaining charges against the employees at the CAID will be try one by one but not in the group like the kids who was there that night back in May.

No trail date have been set in that case.

also about the cars that was seized in the raid as you know there was 44 cars towed in the raid, most of them have to paid somewhere between $900 and $1,200 to get there cars back, althought the loitering charges have been dismiss they will not begetting a refunds.

The ACLU is fighting to get the money back and not only they tyring to get the remaining cars back as well, worst in all this one of the cars that was seized was stolen off the impound lot.

in a story in the Detroit Free Press that ran on Oct. 17 one of patrons who car was towed told the freep that his 1996 Chevy Corsica with 130,000 miles was sloten from the Boulevard & Trumbull impound lot when the theft driven through a fence.

the kid have sue the towing company, but according to the article there working on a settlement.

So we have not hear the last of this one on the CAID raid.

Culture City Danceing with the stars preview - Round Six

2008-10-20T11:46:00.003-04:00

Before i begin with this week dancing preview
i know for those of you who read this blog, i know that
some of you i know you have told me that you can not watch
Dancing with the stars and that is pretty understandable

But since this my own blog and it won over fans from that
1st season back in the summer of 2005 and if you remember
my test post on my space message board i have on and off with
with following the show.

so begin with the series six season finale i put it on the Culture City News twitter page at http://twitter.com/culturecitynews to free up the blog for other things so the only dancing with the stars related stuff will be this post on Monday preview post or any breaking.

as long as the show is on the air or the longer i do this blog
i will do live dancing twitter on the show, so that is that

also two other notes on the blog site

1 last week i join facebook on my own as a person
but i and hoping to do a separate Culture City Face book Page
but it is so confusing it driving me up the wall so if you can help me out
you can e-mail me on the right side of the menu.

also i am hoping to do a separate culture city twitter page at the start of the new year.

Now on to DWTS...

there is on eight dancer left on the ABC show

and thanks god the less musical and stiff dancer Rocco DiSpirito is gone, the judges could not stand his lack of beat and almost may look like master p look like a better dancer.

the big surprise last week was Cloris Leachman who score a 22 on Tango which a big plus for Cloris who have been really bad for the 1st four weeks.

the Lance and Lacey vs Judge Len is thawing out after last week Tango it was really good they was called back to dance aging on the result show.

but still the top two is still TV host Brooke Burke and Ex-Football player Warren Sapp despite Sapp slipping quite a bit last week.

so here is my ranking heading into week 5 the half-way point

1. Brooke Burke
2. Warren Sapp
3. Toni Braxton
4. Lance Bass
5. Maurice Greene
6. Susan Lucci
7. Cody Linley
8. Cloris Leachman

i begin twittering round 5 begin tonight from 8 to 9:30 PM
so see you then at http://twitter.com/culturecitynews
