Good Music From Cleveland… Surely You Jest

The unrelenting staff over at Pitchfork have reviewed a track off of Blake Miller’s album. For all of you not in the know, Blake’s album came out on Exit Stencil Recordings, a record label based out of Cleveland’s newest DIY space Parish Hall. There are two things pleasantly surprising: A) it’s not a crust band, B) Pitchfork gave it a 4 out of 5. Check the review, check the record, check the hall. It’s all good news.

King James and His Crown

Sure this isn’t really news, but the Plain Dealer has an article about how Lebron James would REFUSE to play for a team if he weren’t allowed to wear a headband. Are you serious about this? James actually says “I wouldn’t know what to do if I wasn’t [sic] wearing a headband.” I got an idea, how about get paid millions of dollars to play basketball! But then again, I get mad if people tell me I can’t wear pants.

Cleveland Wants To Be Home of the 2011 Olympics!!!

I’m sorry, I should have said Special Olympics. Good for them, only problem is that this is another attempt to bring in industry and get companies to “recognize Cleveland.” Let’s be honest, that’s not going to happen. Anyways, I hope Muhammad Ali shows up.
