More News You Probably Can’t Use
This Moment in Alt Press History
Everyone’s favorite Cleveland based music mag has unleashed their always coveted “100 BANDS YOU NEED TO KNOW!” issue and amongst the eyeliner toting post-screamo-metal-lounge-dance-punk-thrash bands there is one tiny contribution from our very own city. In case you haven’t already guessed from the title it is none other than This Moment in Black History. The band gets compared to Fatal Flying Guilloteens, An Albatross, and Pere Ubu, while singer Chris Kulcsar waxes philosophical about C-town by saying, “Cleveland is one of the best and worse places to be in a band.” Deep. I would link this but unfortunately Alt Press’s website is still rocking last month’s issue. Looks like us subscribers got the jump on the rest of you. Wait a second, did I really just admit that I subscribe to Alternative Press?
Why can I do Whatever I Want? Because I’m the Mayor’s Brother!
Regina Brett gets all editorial on Nick Jackson, the dude who somehow stayed around when everyone else in the Cleveland public school system got the boot and was recently cleared on sexual harasment charges. Seems Regina ain’t content to just take the news like everyone else as she fires volley after volley at the shady and inadequate actions taken in the situation.
Hold Up. A Heart Warmer?
The Free Times has gotten a little soft this week, and well I guess we are too for linking this piece. They’ve decided to tell the story of a guy who lost his wife, started drinking heavily, and get this… turned his life around! Long story short, dude rocked the Peace Corps and has been succeeded by two more generations.
