Readers of this blog probably don’t need me to tell the about Glitch-Art. However, we haven’t sunk so deep into post-modernism that we don’t feel the need to describe, understand, and assign narratives to stuff that probably would resist the idea. So in that spirit, here are some thoughts I’ve been thinking about the subconscious […]

I finally got around to posting my story on Chris Seeds — aka Mossy Pine — in our interviews section. He recently played at Felicias with Jennie Lowe and Emily Arin in a songwriters-in-the-round, and we also have photos up at our flickr from one of their rehearsals. Read the story here — see some […]

Brave the weather and the horrible roads for two shows tonight: local experimental punk rock band, Les Forces Atomique [or, The Band Formerly Known as The Atomic Forces], will play No Radio Records tonight at 10pm. Free, all ages, political as hell, and featuring the debut of new vocalist/violinist Deana. Later at the Chapter House, […]

Plenty of things to do tonight as we try to forget the fact that it’s already December. Yikes. Starting at 5:30pm, Richie Stearns, Steve Selin and friends will play Felicia’s for a happy hour string band music party that goes late into the night. From Felicia’s: “Come celebrate Repeal Day on December 5, 2008 at […]

It’s just been announced that Columbia, MO-based band Jerusalem and the Starbaskets will play No Radio tonight with Heater. The show begins at 8:30pm and is free and open to the public. A brief description, courtesy of Bull Tongue (Thurston Moore / Byron Coley column in Arthur Mag):

For those of you who are NOT going to see Heart, Journey, and Cheap Trick perform tonight at the New York State Fair in Syracuse, head over to the Chapter House, where local indie rock bands Candy Pants and The Settlers will host a dual CD release party. We recently interviewed Candy Pants frontman Nate […]

‘Sacred Steel’ soul and gospel group The Campbell Brothers will perform at the Chapter House tonight. What they sound like:
Chuck, Phil, and Darick Campbell are an anointed group of accomplished guitarists with instruments tuned to the key of the holy spirit. These musicians were raised in the “sacred steel” style, a rare music tradition rooted […]

Greetings and salutations. Jared Kraminitz here, arts intern extraordinaire reporting to you live via the internets! Before we get to the nitty-gritty, a little about me: I’m a Cornell student studying labor relations and, among other things, I enjoy ice cream, cookies, and Elvis Costello. When I’m not slaving away here at […]

Hey all, I’m Kate, one of the Ithaca Times Arts summer interns. I was born and raised in New York City, and am going on my Junior year as a Government major at Cornell. Some of my favorite things include: rainbow sprinkles, big dogs, co-ops, black coffee, dancing, pottery and good music.
Speaking of which… […]

I’m happy to announce that I’ve added NEPTUNE to the MOUTHUS and SKATERS bill for a concert here in Ithaca at No Radio Records on Sunday, June 29. We’ve teamed up with the good folks over at Syracuse’s New Thing Productions and added Table of the Elements trio Neptune to our (already killer) lineup. Here’s […]

Bobby Comstock is one of those amazing guys that tells story after story, each one more ridiculous than the last. As a session and studio guitarist, he’s either performed or hung out with just about every major 60s and 70s rock ‘n’ roll / rhythm & blues act that you can think of: Jimi Hendrix, […]
