The pompous TIDAL promo clip (Gawker: "a video they made to make you hate them") reminded me of something a young Atlanta shuttle driver boasted while giving me a lift from the airport about twelve years ago. He knew cool DJs, he had (incomprehensible) plans for a web site, he had ideas, he was sure to get financial backing, it couldn't miss. He glanced at me in the rear-view mirror and declared: "I'm gonna take the internet to a whole new level."

Once upon a time, when American industry ruled the earth, business and Broadway had a baby. This mutant offspring, glimpsed only at conventions and sales meetings, was the industrial musical. It was like a Broadway show, except the audience consisted of sales managers and field reps, and the catchy songs were about bathtubs, Ford tractors, and electrical power distribution management. MARCH 25, 8pm at Spectacle Theater, Brooklyn.

Rebranding Maxwell's, according to co-owner/jackass Peter Carr: “It’s not an old broken down stage with PA systems and your feet sticking to the floor because the floor hasn’t been washed in two weeks. The old place was a dive.” Carr cherishes the historic name, but wants to sterilize the legacy. I have two words for you, kid: Jazz Brunch.
After an almost 15 month lapse, live music returned to Maxwell’s Tavern this past Friday with the debut performance of singer-songwriter Elise Testone in Hoboken. After reopening the iconic bar and music venue at Eleventh and Washington Streets as a family friendly Italian restaurant in July, new ow…

Each October listener-supported WFMU has a "Silent Fundraiser" to help close our operating budget shortfall. It's "silent" because we limit on-air pitches to once per program. Contribute here: https://www.wfmu.org/marathon/pledge.php?pr=IC
We're offering the usual swag: t-shirts, personal repair kits, personal disrepair kits, and offers to plunder our prize closet. Donors can enter their pet in our Mascot Contest. Upload a photo of your pet to our website. Here's the photo gallery: http://tinyurl.com/o4uhg8n
