A good friend, and brilliant artist, just did a complete redesign of his blog-based artist portfolio site. The look and usability of the site is amazing, and the artwork is absolutely marvelous. I’ll admit to a little bit of website envy.

Moxie’s Local Darling’s and Hometown Heroes

Every Sunday 7-9 on The SOCC

719-266-3239

Program that number into your phone right NOW.

719-266-3239

It’s the request line for KRCC’s new radio channel SOCC.

Good music trickles into the mainstream from everywhere. Big cities and podunk towns alike. Wherever you’re from, there were opening bands that played awesome sets to5 people at 7 pm until they built up a following.

Support local music.

Every Sunday night from 7-9, I will be playing local and unsigned music from backyards and livingrooms around the world.

Got a band from home that’s close to your heart? That band that you make sure to catch a your neighborhood venue every time you go home? Or a band from somewhere else that you swear no one’s ever heard of, but should, gawdammit!

Call me up between 7-9 on a Sunday and request them. Get them out there. Get them heard. Any genre goes!

719-266-3239

Call earlier rather than later in the set and I’ll scramble to find them, check their lyrics for FCC standards (if it’s got cursing, fogettaboutit!) and hopefully throw them on air before the end of the set.

And I don’t play your beloved local band? Worst case scenario is that the lyrics were somehow profane according to the FCC. OR I scribbled down their name (prepare to spell it) you’ll have to tune in next week to hear them!

719-266-3239

Every Sunday from 7-9 streaming worldwide at www.krcc.org/socc

(or, if you really wanna make sure your band or song gets played, you can email me in advance during the week at maycontainmoxie@gmail.com)

Word of mouth is that much more powerful with a microphone and amplifier.

Many people think that this is going to destroy the planet. I found a site that will give updates.
hasthelargehadroncolliderdestroyedtheworldyet.com
I’ve been checking it frequently.

Michael Sebastian is leaving for San Francisco tomorrow, so we’re having a going away party for him tonight at the Gallery. Starts at 6pm. We’ll have a keg, snacks and a DJ, and everyone is welcome. If you know Mike, come wish him a safe and prosperous emigration. If you don’t know Mike, come down and meet him.

It’s true! Well we’re his ninth, but still. At first I saw the friend request come through, and I thought it was a joke. Then he totally left us a comment on our page! I’m telling you, this guy is pretty cool. Below are some screen captures I took to prove it.

McCain denied our friend request. What an asshole.

Aria Tari will be releasing an EP of all the new stuff they’ve been working on. The V Bar will be hosting the party on Friday, August 29th, at 9pm. Expect drink specials, and body shots off of Walker’s skinny little rocker butt. Look for Melancholy Eyes, and a live show soon.

From Seattle’s The Stranger

Barack Obama is visual culture’s number-one subject right now. Combining fine art, street art, and folk art- YouTube seems as good a folk medium as any-the output is unprecedented: There has never been this much art made about a presidential candidate.

This topic came up in a conversation yesterday between myself and a friend. From the Obey ‘Progress’ image that I saw wheatpasted to buildings in Los Angeles, to the Ron English image that currently graces the cover of the Newspeak . Neither of us know how to feel about it, but acknowledged the movement as being very curious. I’m not sure which artist’s see this as an opportunity to capitalize upon current events, and which artist’s are in it for social change. Or maybe ‘Bama, being the good looking guy that he is, simply has a face that begs to be iterated as fine art.

I’m curious to see what others think.
