I missed the band, I was on grill duty. I was DEEPLY disappointed to hear they skipped "My Generation." DEEPLY disappointed.
Other than that: men without pants and slapping people appear to be growth ideas in advertising.
ah, geez, I knew you were in Portland, my bad. Awesome idea. It seems to kind of chime with the mixtape project.
indyfitz, a syndicated show based on MFT content is something I have pitched (but not as the talent or host) to Jeb in the past. I think It would be a great idea, and could be launched as a podcast without any legwork. the host spots could be cut fo…
Oh I see, it's a couple crossed threads. I'll repost the Hurtt 411 here:
"Michael Hurtt, not sure what high school. He's a bit younger than me so i think he must have graduated high-school around 1986. I think he stayed in town for a bit at Notre D…
Michael, great to hear we tickled your fancy. It was exciting times, still will be yet. Didn't I drop some further info on the Hurtts in a followup comment? Oh yeah, I think you are moderating here. Anyway. Great to virtually meet you; I have actual…
and, Michael, as a Bender, did you know the Hurtt brothers back in the day?
"seems like the discussion I wanted to have has already been had"
HELLZ no, just a bunch of future pals from last month to check out. There is so much we haven't talked about here, it can't be said by the likes of me.
Amen to the excitement about…

- About Me
- Bloomington is my hometown. With a couple years overseas, I lived there from 1976 until 1990. Since 1990, I have lived in Seattle, which actually means I have lived in Seattle longer than I did Bloomington. If you were interested in punk rock in Indiana, especially in Bloomington or Indy, between 1983 and 1988 or so, I probably made an effort to get to know you. I have been blogging since 2002 at mike.whybark.com, and maintain a raft of subsidiary sites, some of which may be of interest to MFT people.
I learned about the MFT project from Jeb just as they were launching it several years ago - I think Jeb found an archive of some Bloomington music I host at mp3.whybark.com and emailed me about the software I was using to present the archive.
- What bands are you or have you been in?
- BLOOMINGTON:
Modock, bass (1988-1989), modock.whybark.com, with Mike Hurtt, Matt Uhlmann, and Dave Cruse
The Vortex, bass (1990), with Mike Goss, Steve Bouton, and Tim Hommey. We only played one show.
SEATTLE
Fat Mona, bass, (1992-1993) - Tod Collins, Odin Bettinger, Jim Thompson

VB track used on Letterman
from the yahoo groups VB list:
"on last night's letterman show, they used an instrumental clip of a vb tune (the title of which evades me at this early hour) during a segment on the leno / conan debacle.

Documenting some interactivity isses in NIng on MFT with Firefox 3.5.4 under Mac OS X 10.6.1
testing, couldn't post a comment on the scarcity thread - looks like a js widget is not loading. I'm testing to see if it's local to the post or if it affects me in all comment boxes.
UPDATE: I can't post in comment boxes, and I can't logout. Killing my browser, will be back to see if that fixes things.
Specs:
FF 3.5.4, Mac OS X 10.6.1, plenty of RAM (4gb), late-model MacBook Pro - the setup has been consistent for a fair while, I'd say the main variable in question is the version of Firefox.… Continue

The Hound
Pursuant to Dr. Zink's notice of Miriam Linna's nascent narrative of the Ohio mafia, I found her linking to one Houndblog. The Hound was a key WFMU DJ specializing in older regional sides but years ago he relocated toe NOLA (so I am told) where he owns a bar. Persons who actually live in NOLA and play the rock and/or the roll may have better 411 than I on such matters.

MX-80 back in the day, featuring the Tao and the MCPL
Bob Gulcher diligently sent along this remarkable blog entry from one HT who apparently signed MX-80 to Island Records back in the day:
Asking my boss David Betteridge if he'd "uh, like to go to to Bloomington?" I was, frankly, a bit surprised when he said "yes". So we found ourselves de-planing in Indianapolis and being driven for roughly an hour to a coffee bar/health-food joint (with ashram attached) in Bloomington… Continue

Michael Eugene Henry said… - Hey,
I officially moved the Illinois Stones thread to the Carmichael Blog. Didn't seem right to Hijack Indiana Musical History for it. Also I read in a Jstore article years ago, that the stones were actually made out of clay, or a clay/mud mix. A laboratory confirmed they were at least a thousand years old due to a crystal that had grown in the stone's matrix. I have the article (paper) somewhere. I no longer have access to scholarly search engines but that doesn't usually stop me.

Yeah, of course there are other tastemakers - I vaguely mention that we all have our own filtering mechanisms and that will continue. Social networking and blogs will become more and more important - as will ways of communicating that we can't conce…
Hey John, since you are the only person I know who would know:
Are the models that drive satellite radio producing any revenue for the artist? You don't mention satellite services but to me, not having one, it seems to be a logical evolution to bet…
I predict that labels may not go away, but they will become less important--as will traditional broadcast radio. Ten years from now we will all have internet-based radio in our cars. And the taste-maker-gate-keepers may not all be labels. They might…

I think it's significant that iTunes acquired LaLa, a streaming site (which I use to preview or rather pre-listen to new releases). With the likely release of Spotify in the U.S., and the fact that Rhapsody already has a subcription streaming servic…
John- do you think there will be one master archive of all music in various formats (Wav, MP3, etc)?
I think you are right on with your predictions but I wonder about the logistics. Will it be like the current distro model where you can get these r…
thanks for adding your story PJ!
Thanks, man. I'm not second-guessing whether SubPop was ever actually part of the major system - it seems like they did some sort of P&D deal around the time Mammoth and Matador did, but I don't recall for sure. Anyway they are an indie currently an…
