http://www.whio.com/news/news/work-stopped-after-wrong-part-of-dayton-daily-news/nbyGJ/ Work stopped after wrong part of Dayton Daily News building torn down That is a giant fuckup on the contractors part. I mean, really? I used to work at the bookstore across the street when I was in high chool. What a mess. Was this an "accident"? I believe that was a nationally registered landmark building.

Top 3 Ohio Bands: GBV/R. Pollard - far and away the best in my biased opinion Pere Ubu/Peter Laughner/Rocket From The Tombs/Mirrors/Electric Eels - pretty much the entire interrelated cleveland punk & art-punk scene. The Breeders There's tons of great Ohio bands! I would say Dayton and Cleveland have all the really top notch ones. Columbus and Cinci never had a band that really did it for me like the three above. Scott Walker also bodes a mention, a Hamilton native to boot. Devo is great. Tin Huey from Akron. Thomas Jefferson Slave Apartments, Gaunt, Scrawl from Columbus. Times New Viking is good. Too many to mention really.

Also had "Is She Ever" tacked on the end. Going to see GBV at the Grog Shop in Cleveland tonight! And the live version from a single b-side with a funny Bob Pollard intro. :lol:

That Chronic Town EP is killer. Never noticed that lyric before. Been digging alot of 80's alternative/underground music lately. REM, The dBs, Flat Duo Jets, Let's Active, Young Marble Giants, Big Dipper, The Replacements, Galaxy 500, Robyn Hitchcock, The Clean....

Sidebar in the Oregon District has not been paying it's employees for months. I have several friends who worked their until recently, and for months have bounced paychecks from the restaurant. A total shame because it was a great restaurant, great food and excellent service. The owner Brian Higgins, however, is a total crook in my opinion. He's also accusing a good friend of mine of stealing thousands of dollars, while he is the one not paying employees consistently. This has been stewing for months behind closed doors. Watch some of the videos below, particularly the Dayton Informer link: http://www.fox45now.com/shared/news/top-stories/stories/wrgt_vid_7919.shtml http://www.daytondailynews.com/news/news/local/current-former-employees-protest-oregon-district-r/nP592/ http://daytoninformer.com/?p=220430 So, don't go to Sidebar if your in Dayton, or the Columbus location for that matter.

Agreed. We should pick a GBV song for State Rock Song, like Oklahoma did with "Do You Realize" by the Flaming Lips. What to pick, what to pick... How's My Drinking? :lol: Weed King I am Scientist - a more serious suggestion

July is Guided by Voices month in Dayton, OH: Here's the mayor (Gary Leitzell) introducing the band at a secret/private show at Dayton's Canal St. Tavern. Some profanity on this, so be aware if kids/coworkers are around. Guided By Voices Month Announcement People came from all over the country, as well as Norway, Sweden, U.K, Switzerland, and Australia. Fun time had by all! Still recovering!

Wonderful. I got the issues (some of them) when they were new. The ones from the 60's may have come through my aunt, who worked at the ad agency Oppenheim Herminghausen Clarke. She knew I loved this stuff and had a lot of sources. The Dragon's Lair used to be good for this, too. I'm glad he's still working. As soon as I can, I'll uncover my two missing Dayton USA's. I do have a nice bicentennial celebration issue, which was unusually colorful. Did he do that one? If you scan them, post or email them to me I could tell you almost immediately. He has a pretty distinct style. Not sure if he signed all of them or not, or if any signature would be cropped out. If they are signed it would W. Patterson or Patterson, and then usually the date like '53 or '61. He still signs and dates the same way; name then date.

Wow. I have a few vintage issues, and I even have the one which, amazingly, uses that very artwork ("Restless Horizons"). He did nice work! Thanks! Do you find the magazine online, or just pick them up wherever you find them? Bonnett's in the Oregon district might have some, but not the last time I checked. There is one issue hanging up in the Hastee Tastee pancake house on Linden which shows the wright brothers and some airplanes.. I was eating there one morning, looking at it and thought it was very familiar. The one on the record cover was the illustration from the first issue, and my uncle has the original hanging in his house. Ink and gauche it looks like. He's in his late 80's but still draws and paints, and works on projects for friends. He owned a graphics business in Dayton from the 50's to the late 90's. They had a big studio for a while, fun place to hang around as a kid. Lots of cameras, artwork and things to get into...

Thanks. I'm trying to find the "Dayton USA" magazine from 1964 which shows this. How did you find that out? The guest room ceilings and floors were Flexicore, if I'm not mistaken - probably resting on the slabs. My grandpa did a lot of the cover illustrations for Dayton USA magazine. Would like to track some of those down, but haven't had much luck so far. He probably has all the original illustrations somewhere still. This one was one of the magazine covers, and the people who put out this record used the illustration and didn't pay him for it. :) Found the record at Omega Music and bought it though. It is worth a pretty good amount, it's a collectable rare garage rock LP.

GBV is still cranking them out! I do graphics work for GBV and Bob's releases. Bob is GBV!

Guided By Voices reunion show in Las Vegas this year! Hopefully a tour to follow.... http://www.matadorrecords.com/matablog/2010/06/29/matador-21-in-las-vegas-oct-1-3-let-the-crazy-speculation-begin/ A cool picture on the old gbv.com website. Pretty sure this is ok to post, but if it needs removed thats OK. http://www.gbv.com/ Support Ohio Rock and Roll!

^^^Brown Street: 10,000 different ways to get the same sandwich. Dolcessa was good but they I think they changed into more of a catering service. Wah Fu is still there...
