Kaleidoscope on WYSO-TONIGHT
...as we previously mentioned, the pending relocation of the seminal college/alt/indie station WOXY to Austin, TX, leaves a substantial void in the dissemination of local flavors to new ears. Fortunately, we also have the folks over at WYSO that are all too-willing to step up to the challenge. While DJs Rev Cool Jim Carter and Nikki Dakota have given substantial support to locals over the years, the new program Kaleidoscope [featuring Juliet Fromholdt] is showing an impressive dedication to showcasing local talent. Tonight she will feature Poptek Records artist Wake Up Mordecai, whose stellar sophomore effort Too Young for the Disco is still getting heavy rotation around here. Additionally, the program will likely sprinkle plenty of local tunes alongside plenty of other, more well-known, tracks. You can tune in online HERE between 8-11 PM every Wednesday...

Thanks for the mention and for what you're doing to support local music as well, Buddha Den!
Cheers to Juliet for her efforts!
Very cool.
Why do you always say "we?" Everyone knows you're just one guy.
we are?!
There you go again Kyle. Writing like you're not writing exclusively to people who know who you are and live in Dayton.
Your correlating people's distaste for Kyle's writing as if he is a writing team to the people who bag on him about writing about things that are not specifically Dayton related is kind of silly.
There is just a level of honesty and transparency I think some people would appreciate. To be humbled when presenting his own music, to make it more personal, that's something fine and lovely!
We're all just people, and it's a little strange to craft a false sense of hype around your own person. We like people. People are good.
Who gives a shit? Why is his pronoun use being critiqued? What an awful, dull topic of conversation. Why aren't "we" (you? me?) talking about the excellent roster of shows this weekend instead of nitpicking a writer that we all obviously appreciate since we're reading his blog?
"There is just a level of honesty and transparency I think some people would appreciate."
Ridiculous. He owes you nothing, and this is a blog, his blog. You're following him, not the other way around. If you were paying for this blog, then I'd agree that he owes you something.
"To be humbled when presenting his own music, to make it more personal, that's something fine and lovely."
Fine and lovely, but that encompasses no argument for anyone to give him grief for his apparent decision to not shine the light directly on himself, and why does music need to be so personal anyway? Do we need a bio to like the doings? Besides, if you're truly "humbled when presenting your own music", you'd probably prefer to see it stand up on it's own.
"..and it's a little strange to craft a false sense of hype around your own person."
David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. Go grab a copy, it's really good.
kyle didn't write "we are?!", i did. are there as many critical assholes in other cities?
MOST people understand what a blog is, in case you don't (from wikipedia):
A blog (a contraction of the term "weblog")is a type of website, usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse-chronological order. "Blog" can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.
Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject; others function as more personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, Web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability for readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs. Most blogs are primarily textual, although some focus on art (artlog), photographs (photoblog), sketches (sketchblog), videos (vlog), music (MP3 blog), and audio (podcasting). Micro-blogging is another type of blogging, featuring very short posts.
