Midwest Music Summit Week: Days Two and Three

Man, dial-up can sour even the best things in life. My undead rogue is collecting serious dust. Regardless, I press on.

Just a heads-up, though: you should probably only expect updates on a Monday-Wednesday-Friday schedule until the middle of next month, when school starts again and my internet access is blazing fast once more. If that schedule works for Penny Arcade, it works for me.

In the news, can liberals do better? Our options could be worse, but that still isn't saying much. Decisions like that, coupled with the fact that the dude's only 50, mean George Bush's pawprint could loom over the legal community for a significant chunk of the century. In other words, this shit is hot.

As promised, here are more clips from this week's upcoming Midwest Music Summit in Indianapolis.



Everything, Now! - I Live In A Trailer Park. An awesome track off of Police, Police!, an awesomer mini-album. The lads of Everything, Now! were birthed from the sticky womb of Ball State University. They're strapping, heroic, and fluent in Coolese. They've also fought the hydra, served me hallucinogenic Chinese food, and have at least one song that sounds like a goblin work chant. Only some of these statements are true. This song? "Crazy neighbors" doesn't even begin to describe it.

BONUS: Margot and the Nuclear So-and-Sos - Barfight Revolution. Since I was a delinquent poster yesterday, here's another track from another Indiana band playing at the Summit. I'm not as intimately familiar with this group, but this track has some serious swagger, and their name is a reference to the Royal Tenenbaums, so they're already way ahead in my book.

Both E,N! and the So-and-Sos will play Radio Radio on Friday in a set that boasts the highest concentration of Indiana rock awesomeness anywhere in the entire festival. They'll be joined by local favorites like Killjoy Confetti, The Vegetables, The Lou Reeds, and even more. Some tracks from at least one of those artists will be in the Thursday/Friday update. Promise.
