A post by Trail Mix

Brittany — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 23:09:24 +0000

This past week on my show, Trail Mix, I featured quite a few tri-state bands and musicians. They included: Robbie Tieman, Tommy Foertmeyer, Northland Noise, Walk the Moon, The Skallywags, Profoundly Yours, Bad Veins, and Cheyenne Marie Mize. Robbie is a local musician who attends NKU, he was the special guest on my show for last semester’s season finale. Walk the Moon is currently on tour opening up for more well-known artists. You should definitely check out these local artists, as well as others and support them in whatever ways possible. This coming week I will again feature music from several of these groups, and possibly a few new artists as well. As always, tune in every Thursday from 1-3pm to give your ears a break.

Weekly blog for the sound of punk, ear X-tacy

While job searching earlier today I thought I would stop by Phil’s records. I was nearby and I could ask Phil if he’s hiring while there, killing two birds with one stone. I found James Blood Ulmers freelancing on vinyl and a copy of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs Fever to Hell on CD., So it was a good hunt. When I was at the register I asked Phil about a possible job, and he gave me the same answer record stores all across America are giving. “I’m not making enough revenue to bring on other workers.” It’s a subject that’s rarely talked about in the regards to illegal downloading. I myself feel no sympathy for artist whose music is stolen. If there truly worthy of their fans then they can make up the lost revenue in touring merchandising and other sources. Take the Black keys for example, it’s impossible to turn on a TV without hearing one of their songs in a commercial or trailer. As far as I am concerned the real losers in the digital music age are the local record shops.

Anyone who’s ever spent more than five minutes in Louisville is familiar with it. The store first opened in 1985 and has been a land mark ever since. The Foo Fighters, Queens of the Stone Age, Tenacious D, My Morning Jacket, and Cage the Elephant to name a few, have all performed within the store. I dare you to walk down Bards Town in Louisville without seeing an ear X-tacy bumper sticker. Yet as popular as it seems the shop had its last open days this past November, and I fear the same fate for Phil’s and other shops a like. There’s no telling when record shops will finally vanish from American culture but I hopes its later than sooner.

Be sure to tune in to the Sound of Punk on NorseCodeRadio.com on tuesdays and wenesdays from 5 to 6pm eastern time for more news, opinions, and of course punk rock.

Say Hello to Ms. J

Brittany — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 05:04:12 +0000

Happy New Year! I’m Jeffonia “Ms. Ebony J” Wynn, the General Manager of norsecoderadio.com. I have been working with NCR for four years now and it is a pleasure to lead the station. Since the age of 4, I have been in love with radio. I graduated from Hughes Center with a major in communications; I’ve worked with Radio One Cincinnati and WCPO. I plan to incorporate everything I’ve learned into norsecoderadio.com. As the general manager, I plan to increase the listenership of the station as a whole, help brand the station as the campus radio station, and help prepare the dj’s to work in the broadcasting field when they graduate. I am blessed to have this opportunity and look forward to a wonderful semester.

Welcome Back!
