Upcoming events:

Sat. Dec 1st, 3pm - 6pm: Cloud Nothings and Ricky Hell and The Voidboys (More info...)

Cloud Nothings began as the solo project of Cleveland's David Baldi. His project soon grew into a quartet. Cloud Nothings have been making music for almost a decade now With their new album "Last Building Burning" (Carpark) David and company show no signs of letting up. Catch the fury of a Cloud Nothings show December 1st at Warsaw.

No, that is not a typo. Ricky Hell & The Voidboys are clearly inspired by the 70's sounds of bands like...well, Richard Hell and The Voidoids. Hailing from Cleveland, they also carry on in the tradition of influential Ohio bands from the same decade such as Devo, The Bizarros and Pere Ubu with their art damaged approach to rock'n'roll.

Sat. Dec 8th, 3pm - 6pm: Beginner's Mynd, Dean Wareham + Chevral Sombre and Brower (More info...)

Originally conceived as a solo home recording project, The Beginner's Mynd is Dan McNabb’s long-distance call to a bygone psychedelic era. This D.C. combo blends garage rock and pop psychedelia into a sound all their own through the exclusive use of vintage instruments, retro recording techniques, and analog technology. While influenced by the past they are in the present. Catch them live at Diviera Drive in Brooklyn after their performance on Todd's show with The Ar-Kaics, Brower and The Elevator Operators.

Dean Wareham and Chevral Sombre have released an album of "western dream pop" on Double Feature Records. The long player features ten covers of songs from the likes of Marty Robbins, Blaze Foley, Townes Van Zandt, Bob Dylan and more. Dean and Chevral sing wonderfully together and receive excellent backing from the likes of Britta Phillips (Luna), Anthony LaMarca (The War On Drugs) and others. The result is somewhat akin to mixing Luna and The Grand Canyon. See for yourself at LPR on Friday Dec. 7th.

After a raucous set earlier this year from the WFMU Record Fair, Brower return to the Todd-O-Phonic Todd show to celebrate the release of their debut album Buzzsaws (Dig Record Co.). This Brooklyn based quartet serves up a healthy dose of their patented "power glam" on cuts like "Real Girl", "U N Him", "Better Days" and the title track. Don't miss the buzzsaw sound of Brower at Diviera Drive on Dec. 8th alongside The Ar-Kaics, Beginner's Mynd and The Elevator Operators.

Sat. Dec 15th, 3pm - 6pm: Governor Phil Murphy and Jeff Tweedy (More info...)

The 56th Governor of the great state of New Jersey chats with Todd-O-Phonic Todd about the arts and diners. Tune in for a rare chance to hear a politician discuss something other than politics.

Founding member of the seminal alt-country band Uncle Tupelo and the frontman of Wilco, Jeff Tweedy talks to Todd about his wonderful new autobiography "Let's Go (So We Can Get Back) and his just released solo album, "Warm". Find out what makes this intriguing performer tick!

	♥ Sat. 11/5/16 4:37pm Irwin: N.B. to Jack's friends: if you visit, he has an overabundance of candy and cookies cluttering his counter space. There's also an entire unopened pecan coffee cake. I hope this provides additional incentive to stop in and interfere with Jack's overabundant "quiet time."

I honestly picked up more on 'Shake Some Action' Groovies - & what I've tended to pair them w/ - in terms of playing CDs together when I worked a shop, or having a drink & strumming guitar - is actually stuff like The Smithereens... This is a treat - Thx Todd & Mr. Loney !
