17: Musicast: Barfolomew

It’s a Musicast this week, so you pretty much know what to expect: wonderful Cincinnati music and the ramblings of a semi-idiot.  What more could you ask for?  Ah, yes.  Cake.  Pizza.  The occasional beer.  This is a byob kinda party, I guess, but where else are you gonna hear a playlist like this:

Radiolaria: The Last Matinee
Human Zoo: Change Me
Lazy: Crush
Lions Rampant: Crazy or a Liar?
Mad Anthony Bear Attack
Bloody Discharge: Norwood VFW Reunion Show in 1999
Hello Jersey: Pull Yourself Together
The Worthmores: Guilloteenage Pelletier
Oxboard Drain- In
hekura: Out of Place
Valley of the Sun Centaur Rodeo
Vacation: From forthcoming debut LP
No Good Heroes: 1919
Rudy Pat: Hoobajoob
Zaxxon: You’re Not Human Anymore

A couple points of order: I’m playing with the idea of also making the podcast a live affair as well as making it available in the traditional podcast format, and this goes for Musicasts as well.

Also: we’d love to know your thoughts on the show.  You can drop a review/rating at iTunes, and it’d be pretty awesome if you could spread the word, too.

Finally, if you’re in a band and you’d like to show up on the CinAwesome Musicast, drop me a line at cinawesome@gmail.com.  Enjoy, y’all.… Read the rest

Is Bootsy Collins Awesome?

By maoglone, on February 11th, 2011

So, I read this press release reprint at the Enquirer, and realized how embarrassed I should be for not having posted about Bootsy yet.

Like every Cincinnati figure, there are lots of opinions out there, but one seems to prevail: you better think he’s awesome or else.  In reality, most people I know never think about him until they see his weird head pop up out of seemingly nowhere.  When that happens, we usually talk about how famously mean James Brown was to his band members.

But that doesn’t answer the question–is Bootsy awesome?

Pros:

  • He’s a legitimate funk legend.
  • Played with James Brown during his serious “funk” years.  “Sex Machine,” “Soul Power,” and “Super Bad.”  Also, played with Funkadelic.  You can’t really front on Bootsy’s Rubber Band, either.
  • Wears funny clothes, looks high all the time.

Cons:

  • Nobody knows who he is except for famous musicians.
  • Damn kids don’t RESPECT THEIR DAMN HISTORY.  Damn.
  • Probably is high all the time.
