The Week music heavy this weekend, but there is a lot of excellent music happening in this town over the coming days. This is a little preview of what’s out there for you. […]

More Show Photos: Del the Funky Homosapien – 6/21
Well, folks, I am not going to rehash the details of this great show because AC Hawley already wrote a great review that you should read…here. I will say that I have never seen such a mass of people in an Iowa City venue in all of the 12 years I’ve lived here….this crowd rivaled those of Will Whitmore and Guided by Voices, who also know how to pack a house. […]

Show Photos: Techno Lincoln and the Technicolor Union – 6/20
I go to a lot of shows. They range from pained to good to great, and some defy description. This show was in the third category but not at all in an unfortunate sense.

I laugh at the thought of people on their homebound commutes tuning in to hear Ed’s sporadic, blaring shouts in to the mic, his dry, on point sarcasm and flippant responses to the hosts’ queries. […]
Show Review: Del the Funky Homosapien
To start with the former, Lethal is a Missouri-based MC who occupies that space between early Beastie Boys frat raps and Slug’s more emotionally based style. Accompanied by his hype man Patrick (who was celebrating his 21st birthday, Lethal rapped about DUIs, getting drunk and getting done over by girls. […]

Kent Williams DJ Set KRUI 6/25/2011 – The Accidental Curator
I spend a lot of time at thrift stores, garage sales, and second hand stores looking for records. When I’ve collected enough interesting records together to fill a radio show, I lug the vinyl to the IMU for a radio show. Someone who spends time on EBay and Discogs searching for records, who spends hours […]
