CoolinAustin: SXSW RSVP Roundup: Open Bar Edition →
let’s be real.
i’m going to be permanently drunk next week.
coolinaustin:
If you’re heading to SXSW 2011, you have most likely spent the last few weeks being bombarded with party info. Some events want you to RSVP, some don’t, some require badges, and some will take any schmo walking in off the street. How do you sort it all out? In our opinion, the best place to…
are you still there?
I don’t really use this anymore.
But here are some updates since November:
No No Knots are breaking up.
I was recently hired as Planning/Community Relations for Far-I-Rome Productions.
And now I live downtown in Over-the-Rhine, which is pretty damn rad.
I’d hate to start posting here again because, let’s be honest, it would basically turn into PR.
maybe I’ll be...

for John
If you haven’t figured it out by now, this Tumblr is rarely used. It was created as an outlet for my boredom while stuck in the cave that is my cubicle at work. But then, out of nowhere, I got lots of extra responsibilities and between that, writing for ENS, managing No No Knots and helping out with The Marburg Collective, this blog has been moved to the backburner. Sorry.
Go see The...

Trouble in Transit's MPMF Picks
I’m about to disappear for a while. My loyalty lies with Each Note Secure, so MPMF coverage from here on out will take place there. You can follow me @cutelin or just check the ENS site (or Cincinnati.com’s homepage! We’re totez syndicated now).
But before I go, here’s my tentative schedule for MPMF. There are a handful of bands with conflicting schedules, and I...

Video: Dead Man's Bones - Pa Pa Power
Thanks to Isaac of Pomegranates for posting this video of Dead Man’s Bones’ “Pa Pa Power.” to their blog. (Sorry y’all - I would have embedded the video but the accessible/public version is nowhere to be found on YouTube) Normally if I can’t embed that shit, I just toss the post, but I just had to re-post this video.

Guessing Midpoint's Secret Show
Never have I agonized so long over Pearl Jam’s tour archives. Twitter is on fire as myself and fellow regional music bloggers from The Decibel Tolls (@thedecibeltolls), Metromix (@danielepfarr), Backseat Sandbar (@changingmyplea) and Each Note Secure (@eachnotesecure) continue to guess MPMF’s secret show. Here are the clues:
1.The band sings in English.

Update!
Sorry for the long overdue post. The past week and a half has been bonkers - I performed at Brew Ha Ha all last weekend, watched the No No Knots/Eat Sugar show at Mayday, and then drove THROUGH THE NIGHT TO DETROIT.
Anyway, Trouble in Transit has been silent since then because I’ve been hardcore vacationing in the Upper Peninsula with the boyfriend, with no interwebz to speak of (except...

I HAVE BEEN DREAMING FOR YEARS THAT THIS SHOW WOULD HAPPEN. I NEVER ACTUALLY THOUGHT IT WOULD. I AM SO EXCITED I CAN ONLY TYPE IN CAPS RIGHT NOW.

The Big Reveal
Tonight’s the night. I’m performing my story for The Big Reveal, a local comedic storyteller showcase at York Street Cafe (w/ special guest Drew Hastings!!!).
Funny how, while trying to practice my story about losing my faith, my coworker is TALKING AS LOUDLY AS POSSIBLE about being a Warrior of God.
This is peppered amongst all the shit talking and complaining, of course.

An interview with Sub Pop General Manager Megan Jasper (via Seattle Weekly) clued us in on Sub Pop’s new approach to digital downloads:
Buy the merch, get the music for free.
“Although Sub Pop is primarily known for its many fine artists and their really very fine recordings (also grunge), we’re not at all opposed to expanding into the fine world of t-shirts, hats, beer...

SPOON THIS TUESDAY!
Okay, technically I’m supposed to host a comedy mic tomorrow. But ENS needs someone to review Spoon and I can’t turn down any opportunity to see Spoon live.
I’ve only seen Spoon a couple times and both times were at festivals (Pitchfork ‘08 and Forecastle ‘10, respectively), so I’m psyched to finally see them at a concert venue.
