In no way surprised. I’ll just take a page out of the politeness pamphlet and say nothing else.

I’m really fascinated by this whole deal; can Columbus force something that happened organically in the Short North to germinate elsewhere?
Once Liz Lessner, Jeni, and Cup o’ Joe get in there, it’s on.
Just noticed this downtown today. Could be really rad.
Indie rock supergroup Divine Fits announce debut record, stream first single
-A Thing Called Divine Fits debuts stateside on August 28.-
Super rad. As an inhabitant of Columbus and a double graduate of Ohio State, I rate this New Bomb Turk-ish news as most excellent.
Yes, I’m reblogging myself. Stifle your judgment!
How can you possibly hate on food trucks?
What in the actual hell. This is the most ridiculous, annoying, ill-informed, and for some reason, personally offensive, thing I’ve read in a while. And it’s just about fucking food trucks. Still; I’m super irritated. WOSU, I’m very disappointed.
Anyway, continue with your lives. And go get a yummy taco or some Ajumama or a slice of Late Night. Because really. Fuck this stupid article.
What you don’t get from Amazon.com: thank you notes from the record store owner’s 6 y.o. daughter along w/ your guide to local joints for Record Store Day. Thanks, Elizabeth’s!
The ColumbUS Local Music Promise
NPR’s excellent All Songs Considered crew checks out Columbus’s own Mount Carmel!
Do more. See more. Hear more. Support local music!
Rock the vote!
Here’s an election we can all get behind: a song about Columbus for the bicentennial. Listen through the list, make your voice heard, and then go to your favorite watering hole and support some local music!
(Thanks to Tom Butler for reminding me the contest had started by posting the link on his Facebook page. You do good work, sir.)
Happy 200th birthday, Columbus. You don’t look a day over 150. I know you’re having work done (new hotel in the Arena District, the never-ending construction on 670, a casino on the Eastside), but don’t let anyone make you feel bad about it. Just do what’s right for you. A little facelift by way of filling potholes and repaving roads is necessary at your age. I want you to know I love you on this very special Valentine’s Day.
To celebrate your bicentennial, hometown, I pledge to support local music and spread the gospel of rock ‘n’ roll across this great city and the interwebs. As a token of my esteem for Columbus music, here’s a video from one of the scene’s great white hopes, Times New Viking.
Let’s hear it for a Columbus North By Northwest Fest in the near future! We are the Austin of the Midwest! The Indie Art Capital of the World! The eaters of chocolate-covered peanut butter balls and drinkers of fine microbrews! Let’s make Columbus great in 2012!
