It’s a busy Thursday, and time is particularly short; I spent a good portion of the afternoon listening to the largely local New Legends of Streetball, Vol. 2 mixtape and, at 28 tracks, it’s a long listen. But, some items of note:
1. Local band The Hilarious Posters submitted music for a theme song contest for NPR’s Monitor Mix blog, a column penned by Feedback favorite Carrie Brownstein. The group is to be commended for avoiding some of the awful "mix" rhymes that some of the other candidates used, but still needs support. Vote or die, people.
The Hilarious Posters, "Not The Strut"
2. The Music Resource Center—harder, better, faster, and in Cincinnati? According to a press release from executive director Sibley Johns, the local music education and outreach center will open its Cincinnati affiliate tomorrow.The Cincinnati MRC, more than three years in the making, pays a nice tribute to its Charlottesville predecessor here.
3. Pantherburn performs at Fridays After Five tomorrow. Be prepared:
Pantherburn, "Fuel for Fighters"
