Antenna Internet Radio
Here's a weekly internet-only "radio" show — hosted by Scott Bass — that features classic punk, new wave and power pop. It's called "Gift Wrapped Crap," and you just might catch a Dancing Cigarettes tune now and then. RealPlayer G2 is required. (More shows — featuring different styles of music — can be found on the AIR Home Page.)
Birdbrain
Freestyle avant-pop group: Yvette Perez, Peter Zummo, Tim Noe, Don Trubey, and Michael Evans.
Bloomington Music Tree
Daisybrain Media's timeline chart of the Underground Music Scene in Bloomington, Indiana from 1979 to 1997. (New GIF file size is only 97k.)
Clamazon
"Smelly Music for Swell People." Online indie music store. (And they'll sell YOUR tunes here, too.)
Henry Elsesser
The singer/songwriter side of Wronco's trombonic tomcat. And honestly, he never meant you any harm.
Andrew Jones
Cool blue island music. Way back in '89, the April Fooles did some light carpentry and spackling in the basement of Andrew's Spirit House.
The Mary Janes
Velvety underground rock. And Janas Hoyt sez "Punk in Bloomington in the '80s was small but had some phenomenal bands like The Gizmos and The Dancing Cigarettes."
The Mercantillers
Wronco's Jon Berger is now a member of this nautical but nice, seaman-stained combo. Aaarrr!
The Panics
The Best Band in Bloomington???
Phil Reavis
This supreme string-plucker joined up with several former Dancing Cigarettes to form the Mad Hatters, Ten Cat Halos, Latent Chaos, and the Rosebloods. He's quite a god.
The Shiners
Former Dirtballers, Wes & Jyl Freed, ride shotgun into the southern sun. They work hard; they play hard; they drink like fish. God love 'em.
SubGenius Lyrics
It's The Word of "Bob" channeled by SubGenius songsters, transcribed by Pastor Craig. While you have to admire Craig's valiant effort, some of the lines in "Hymn 999" and "Personal Savior Blues" are surreally scrambled.
1982 Illiterati
Here, you'll find excerpts from The Book of the SubGenius.
Surface Noise Sonic Franchise
It's music. It's art. It's a conceptual collective. And you're right in the middle of it... whether you know it or not. (Requires Shockwave Flash browser plug-in.)
The Sway Machinery
The Brooklyn Rail sez "The songs are centered around the biting finger-style, Telecaster licks of Jeremiah [Lockwood], whose influences sound heavily John Lee Hooker-inspired, but with a distinctive Ashkenazi sensibility. Rockabilly meets the Lower East Side schtetl."
Websites of the Gods
Extensive lode of SubGenolio — Slacktarian Audio, High Weirdness, "Bob" Games, and Esoteric Etcetera.
The Weisstronauts
Once upon a time in Bloomington, Emily Jackson drummed up Sally's Dream. Now, she taps the tubs in Boston.
WFHB
25 odd years ago, Bloomington, Indiana had WQAX, a wild, freeform cable-only radio station with about 25 odd listeners at any given moment. Some of these QAXers dreamed of a day when they could broadcast this stuff. After more than a decade of wrangling and haggling with landlords and the FCC, WFHB was born. And, no matter where YOU are, you can listen in with RealPlayer.
WFMU
The music of The Dancing Cigarettes, Large Door, and Saint Ballantine have cluttered the airwaves emanating from this most excellent radio station in Noo Joizy,with RealPlayer access, too.
