		<description><![CDATA[A few weeks ago Dan Melchior came to town to play a few shows and record a session for WFMU. Instantly I was reminded of the powerful, joyous glee of rock music in its most distilled and perfectly romantic form. As Melchior and his band Das Menace ripped through songs from his ever-extensive back catalog [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For the first time in its history, we have heard of every band written about in Freak Scene. We&#8217;re not sure if that&#8217;s indicative of its unrelenting dedication to weird shit or dumb luck, but we feel pretty good about it.

For those unfamiliar with Chris Corsano (above), the extreme shorthand story is that he came [...]]]></description>

James Blackshaw is a name that has been coming up quite a bit in the new folk guitar conversations. Blackshaw has compiled an international compilation of stringed delights that shows us a bit more where he’s coming from [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Over the weekend I did some deep listening through the shelves and stacks and had many a debate about the best non-heard 90’s albums. Even in an age when underground music was well documented there’s always some gems that have seemed to slip through the cracks. Maybe its just cause I’ve been reading Schnipper&#8217;s column [...]]]></description>

During the waning weeks of 2007, Cleveland’s Emeralds came to town for a few memorable shows and a solid collaboration with Carlos Giffoni. Along for the ride was fellow Ohio drone hound Sam Goldberg. To commemorate their trek, Emeralds and Goldberg released a split tour cassette showcasing the [...]]]></description>
