An In-Snide Look #107

Fun day yesterday.  Kicked off with our now bi-weekly studio day.  This week joined by Johnny Lyles, Brandon/Benjamin Cannon, and Tim "Irish" Cline.  Intermittently joining in were Jamie Jackson (who IS the Indianapolis music scene) and Mark "MK" Kelley, one of those UK disk jockeys that I am infamous for stalking.  Mark regaled us with tales of his two world-record-breaking marathon broadcasts and an explanation of "spotted dick."  Rumor has it that he and his partner-in-crime, Simon Saynor will be attempting a holy pilgrimage to Indy for a SINE FM takeover of Indy In-Tune, along with a probably live showcase (I'm sure Mr. Sample will loan me Birdy's for the evening, if I ask nicely ... I have most of a lineup in my head, but I will, of course need volunteers to perform).

Irish, Johnny, Jamie

This brought up an interesting topic of discussion, and one that I will open up here to the blog:  When showing two visitors form another country around Indianapolis, given they are fans of beer, music, and cuisine.  We managed to piece together a small checklist, but would be interested in what others have come up with.
  • The Slippery Noodle
  • The Chatterbox
  • The Melody Inn
  • A Jamie Jackson VIP Vogue Party
  • Microbrewery tour
  • Pork tenderloin sandwich
  • Biscuits and gravy/pancake breakfast
  • A proper steak / a proper pizza
  • The track/Indy 500 Museum
  • Victory Field (to binge on stadium hot dogs)

Yesterday evening, of course, was Ryan Gibbon's Booty-Smackin' Birthday Bash -- Ryan of course being ex/current-Thursday Book Club, ex-Black Market Binary, ex-Half-Life, and currently a solo artist playing tomorrow night at Irish's St. Patrick's Day Bash at Birdy's. And, obviously, if you know Ryan, you know his circle, so the party was an all rock-and-roll affair with members of Coup D'Etat, Farewell Audition, Swig, and a few others that currently escape me.  Thus, despite the fact that I live in Hamilton County, and despite that fact that OUR inside source at Taylor's bakery did tip us off that the cops were mobilizing en force and had just purchased EVERY doughnut in the store, I decided to venture out anyway.  Let me tell you, this "Operation Pullover" stuff is no joke, just ask practically everyone whose dropped by Studio B lately, conveniently located two blocks off the sobriety checkpoint.  Even if you haven't been drinking, they'll make you feel guilty about it.



But I digress, the highlight of the party was the now legendary Battle Shots tournament ... well, to be fair, I think it only went two games -- both inexplicably won by Jamie Jackson.  I say "inexplicably" because, quite frankly, halfway through the first game, he was having trouble remembering the numbers of the alphabet and required a bit of assistance in pinning down a strategy -- not to mention standing up straight.  Indy Mojo's Amy Foxworthy and I have decided that this must be a new TV gameshow.  It's comedic, strategic, suspenseful, and frankly, anything hosted by Jamie Jackson is bound to get some audience love.  If the networks don't pick it up.  I'm thinking Indy In-Tune will make a UStream show out of it.



Kinda of a lazy Sunday today, but no excuse for not supporting local music.  Currently camped at the bar at Studio C (Claude and Annie's Fishers) awaiting the triumphant return of Simon Saynor to the airwaves of SineFM -- I've mentioned him a few times in these pages if you go back and look.  Then it's out to Castleton Grill to see Steve "The Godfather" Boller and Katie Pederson do the "Shine Local Music Spotlight."  I'm a sponsor, I should probably show up to these things, right.  Hope to see somebody at one of these events, otherwise I'm feeling really pathetic right about now.

Solicitations and Submissions

Solicitations for blog posts can be made by sending and email to "blog -at- indyintune -dot- com" and should follow these guidelines:

  • Local (Indianapolis-based) acts always have priority.
  • Visisting acts playing a bill with one or more local acts are also considered.
  • We generally don't like to repeat content found on other sites. If your request already has a lot of coverage on other sites, it will be considered low-priority unless you can give us an exclusive angle.
  • For obvious reasons, we don't do solicited album reviews, though we do appreciate you letting us know when you have a new release. Consider coming in and talking about the album yourself live on the air or a podcast.
  • All of our staff writers are unpaid enthusiasts. All requests for blog posts are entirely at their descretion.
  • As such, they generally need a lot of lead-time to put something out -- we're talking weeks of lead time, not hours.
  • That said, individual authors have full authority to ignore the following guidelines and write whatever they want ... if you can convince them to.
  • In addition, feel free to write your own post and submit it for posting as a "guest blogger." Those almost always get accepted.
  • Finally, regional or national acts submitting without meeting the above guidelines are generally ignored. We're not trying to be dicks, but if you send us a generic form-letter with your press release, and it doesn't even remotely concern a local artist or event, then you're not part of our core focus.
