Indianapolis seems to have a very nice local scene. They also seem to be a little smitten with Nashville bands. Musical Family Tree serves up free mp3s of Indiana music, but i noticed a number of our own:

Hands Down Eugene – 6 live recordings and an E.P.
The Carter Administration – 4 live recordings and 3 albums/E.P.s
The Touchy Subjects – 1 album
Spider Virus – studio recordings

All the Rage profiles everyones favorite sleepy (or drunk) college town:

“The best thing about Murfreesboro is you have this exciting musical naiveté that’s really endearing,” says Richie Kirkpatrick, frontman for Ghostfinger. “The Murfreesboro audience usually goes a lot crazier and has a lot better time.”

i took a break from trolling for minors and saw this on myspace:

“Lylas has been chosen for Spin.com’s Band of the Day today (April 6)! Go there and check out the feature on them and the free download. More importantly, go to Spin.com and vote for Lylas.”

I’m still screwing around with the layout and functionality of the site. please nobody get all up in a tizzy because there are only two listings.

while i’m at it, send me some shows…

UPDATE: semi-populated the listings. send me shows, but also releases.

i also set up an ical calendar thing so you can subscribe to the calendar… go click “how to”

the demise of nashvillezine motivated me to make a dedicated site for WOTT.

I’ve got a bunch of ideas for the podcast, but i guess we’ll just have to wait and see. (i mean really, 2 episodes in 5 months?)

I have procured footage from the theory 8 records 5th anniversary show featuring The Carters, Apollo Up and Forget Cassettes that will be cut together for the first video podcasts (or vodcast, or vidcasts, or vcasts, or some-dude-w/-a-webcam-in-his-room casts.)

we’ll just see how this goes shall we.
