Dancing the Night Away at Talbott Street

The city of Indianapolis is not known for live music. Here in the Circle City we have the Indianapolis 500, one of the most well known races in motor sports. We have the Indiana Pacers, home to basketball greats like Reggie Miller. We have the Indianapolis Indians, as close as we will ever get to a pro baseball team. We even have the Indianapolis Colts, recent Super Bowl champions and the heart of all bandwagon football fans in this city. This city [...]

Artist Interview: 1-on-1 with Victoria Vox

I truly enjoy listening to music that means something. I enjoy music that offers not only talent and experience in the instrumentals, but also truth and passion in the lyrics. The lady that I am sitting with today brings everything that I spoke about above and more to the stage with an incredible sense for the word talent. She also has a very frequently updated Twitter page which helps social media guys like me relate a little more than the next guy. After one [...]

Have You Heard About Brittni Carlini?

Do you remember when you were in high school and college and all you could think about was the weekend ahead of you? Or the next vacation from school, whether it was Spring Break or Christmas Vacation, when you could just hang out around the house or spend time with your friends. Well, Brittni Carlini, a twenty-year-old college student from Albuquerque, New Mexico, was excited about one of these said vacations. She and her friends were about to go [...]

lala: Where Music Plays

Recently I was introduced to a new service known as lala. Lala is a website that allows you to listen, buy, and share your music online. They even offer a feed that will give you music choices from your friends and even the experts behind the scenes at lala. You can also import your own collection of music to be able to listen to no matter where you are; as long as you have an Internet connection. It has been all the rage with a few friends of mine [...]

Lady Takes Aim at Blockbuster & Facebook

With the advent of all of these social media tools like Twitter and Facebook, online privacy becomes a big issue. Some people stay off these tools all together in fear of sharing too much information with the World Wide Web. For instance, on Facebook, you can find my birthday, the school and year that I graduated from college, my girlfriend’s name, and even my job title, email address, and iChat screen name. This information is [...]

Artist Interview: 1-on-1 with The Elms

The guys that I am sitting with today bring a whole new meaning to the word talent. These might be some of the hardest working men in show business and it shows in their incredible skills on stage and on their albums. With a new album-hitting store shelves and a tour to back it all across the Midwest this band is starting to show you what it means to rock. These guys also know how to melt your face when performing live. I have had the chance to see [...]

Marcus Jordan & UCF Pay the Price

It was only a matter of time before the University of Central Florida held their first regular season game. Last night, on Wednesday, November 4th, 2009, the University of Central Florida Knights took the floor in an exhibition game. Marcus Jordan was one of the players that got some playing time. Marcus was wearing his dad’s latest shoe, which, you know from my initial post on this topic, are Nike, not Adidas. So, because of that, Adidas wasted [...]

Getting to Know Angie Vosmeier

To go along with the recent post that I wrote reviewing my experience at Scotty’s Brewhouse, I took some time to sit with the 96th street location’s kitchen manager. We sat down after the meal as I wanted to make sure I had topics of conversation for her when we did meet. I had heard from our server that she was in on her day off and that it might even be past her bed time for us to have this interview, but she was excited to speak with me. I was excited as [...]

Take a Listen to What We’ve Become from Mardelay

I must admit that the first time I heard this album I was not impressed. I listened to about five or six of the songs skipping from tune to tune on my way home. It was late, I was tired, and I was not paying very close attention to the lyrics let alone the instrumentals behind them. I turned the CD off half way home and made a decision against it. The next day I was talking to some good friends of mine in the band Borrow Tomorrow [...]

A Night out at Scotty’s Brewhouse

This past Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009 I went out for dinner. My girlfriend and I were being hosted at Scotty’s Brewhouse on 96th street for an evening of food, drinks, and conversation. The event actually started on Twitter when I took up a conversation with managing partner Scott Wise. I bet you can’t tell me where the name Scotty’s Brewhouse came from. He and I began discussing social media, blogging [...]
