Hmm, I know of a music festival happening before that but they haven’t revealed their band list yet……

You can stream the entire album by The Shins right over here. Buy it on the cheap over at Amazon.com.

It’s a good weekend for local shows (local being Columbus, of course), from the Lost Weekend Records Anniversary extravaganza to the Donewaiting/UWeekly sponsored Stephen Slaybaugh and Kevin Elliott’s Bands to Watch 2007 showcase. If you’re looking to get the weekend started early, Oldfield’s is hosting a CD release for The Bottoms. With a penchant for beer-fueled college rock circa ’92 (ala The Replacement, Goo Goo Dolls, Greenhorn, Watershed), The Bottoms aren’t regulars to the scene due to lead singer Andy Hindman’s “real” job as a member of the Goo Goo Dolls road crew. Hindman reports the Goos will be on the road for 8 months in 2007 which means this very well could be one of the few chances to see The Bottoms this year.

The Happy Hour show is from 6 to 9 with The Bottoms taking the stage at 7pm (no other acts will perform during the Happy Hour). The Bottoms will be performing music from their second release, Second Album (hey, there’s an original title), which will also be for sale. Oh yeah … it’s free admission!

Check out a few new tunes from Second Album over on The Bottoms MySpace page.

We know that HDTV stands for High Definition Television, but what about HD Radio? Well..

One thing I’d like to kindly point out to the boys at Bridge Ratings. In their 2nd question they asked respondents: Do You know what HD or High Definition Radio is or what it does? – this question in syntactically incorrect. The fact is, the “HD” in “HD Radio” doesn’t stand for “high-definition” as it’s television brethren does.

As Peter Ferrera, president and CEO of the HD Digital Radio Alliance said, “Quite honestly, it [HD Radio] doesn’t stand for anything. The concept was somewhat of a steal from HD television, where viewers know it means better quality” (full story)

Lame-o.

You can listen to the entire new album by Clap Your Hands Say Yeah right here. Or buy it onsale at Amazon.com here.

J. Caleb Mozzocco is one of the best film critics around, period. We’ve been running his reviews on weColumbus for some time, but I’ve decided he needs a larger audience.

Starting today, we’re going to be running some film-related content. It’ll be mostly reviews of new films, but we might throw in an occasional link to new trailers. I’d expect the content to be about 80% music, 20% film.

Get to know Caleb by reading his best and worst films of 2006 list.

RJD2 is touring in March, and he’s bringing Columbus pal Happy Chichester.
