The Projectmill is back with a new episode of “Milling About,†meaning more nonsense and new music. Download the free podcast from iTunes, and check below for downloads of this episode’s featured music, only available here at ENS!
In this episode:
Ken and guest host Corrie cover the wide spectrum of human interaction, from the high-brow New York art world to nerdy internet message boards. They also lead us through health care f-bombs, Facebook’s ability to spread disease and the importance of spellchecking your tattoos before going under the needle.
But first, grab your dancing shoes for this latest crop of new music. There’s a bubbly “disco-funk” track from Breakbot, “Baby, I’m Yours,” which Ken loves so much that it breaks his brain. There’s also the up the stairs, down the stairs laid-back ease of “Marchin In,” a warm Electro-pop song by Low-Fi Fnk. “Subliminal Message” by Happy Birthday is a love song wrapped in soft Psychedelic Pop. There’s even a track from Standard Fare flat-out called “Dancing,” with confessional lyrics that admit that, sometimes, the only thing left to do is boogie down.
And speaking of music, the peanut gallery (Ben, Yusef and Chris), just back from South by Southwest, breaks down the haves and have-not dichotomy of the festival. They also relay Friday night at SXSW, including the lead singer of Fall Out Boy’s awkward attempt to not be the lead singer of Fall Out Boy, Cincinnati band Foxy Shazam’s literal appetite for cigarettes when opening for Hole, and Courtney Love stagediving. And it’s also where this episode of the podcast gets its title. Who knew you could see Hole live and Courtney Love wouldn’t even be the most ridiculous celebrity in the room?
Ken and special guest Justine Ludwig, Curatorial Assistant for Cincinnati’s Contemporary Arts Center, have just returned from New York, and give the lowdown on several openings, including some performance art that’s either romantic or kinky depending on your sensibilities.
Plus, everyone can’t help but lament the loss of WOXY and Yusef explains that, if it wasn’t for the radio station, we wouldn’t have You, You’re Awesome. Take a listen to find out what he means!
