By the way,

Golfitup's brother's band Houndmouth has a record deal and is getting some big time pub.

They have an EP coming out on August 27. Check it out.

I hope that song is not about Jimmy 2X.

Most of you younger, hipper kids have probably heard of these guys (plus their album apparently came out last year), but I really like Fitz and the Tantrums. If you haven't heard them, I highly recommend them. They are so choice.

Most local indie pop fans know of Cincinnati's The Minor Leagues", who will be playing at the Bunbury next Friday night.

What many might not know is that the band's great 2006 album, "The Pestilence is Coming" is the basis of a musical play of the same name, which is opening next weekend at the Magic Futurebox Theater in Brooklyn. All the songs on the album are featured in the musical.

Ben Walpole, who with Patrick Helmes started the band years ago, wrote all the songs. Ben is a grad student at XU, and is a huge Xavier basketball fan who follows and contributes to our discussion boards and is a regular at the Cintas for home games.

Their most recently released album, "North College Hill" may be their best yet. There are many interesting songs on the album; I especially like "Home" (powerful), "Ghost Maps", and "Secret Codes". At Bunbury and other local venues you'll be able to hear songs from their recently recorded but not yet released album "Northside". If you like melodic, lyrical, and often emotionally rich pop music, try out The Minor Leagues, (minorleaguesmusic.com).

Red Wanting Blue is on David Letterman tomorrow night (7/18).

I'm super proud of my pals for getting to this moment in their career doing it their way. Check out Ohio's own RWB on the Late show!

For some reason, there seems to be a ton of talent in/from Montreal (and Canada, in general). I hate emoish music. But this is so emoish that I like it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJsL3PG40a8

Speaking of Canada, definitely not new, but I stumbled on this Rush song and love it. So retro and ridiculous, but fun: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lu9Ycq64Gy4. The song/video haven't aged well, but that's part of the charm of it.

The Icelandic band Of Monsters and Men is on the verge of blowing up. They're steadily creeping into mainstream radio. They're the next Mumford, and very similar. Here's their signature track from their eponymous album:

They put on a great show when they played 20th Century Theater last year.

I am a big Minor Leagues fan, had no idea about the X connection, thanks for sharing.

For anyone else into local bands, if you haven't heard of them yet check out Josh Eagle and The Harvest City and Heartless Bastards. Both getting fairly popular and have some great tunes.
