    Fall Guide to Local Music – Part 2

    It’s cold. We’re all cold. The wind is no longer giving us sweet butterfly kisses on our cheeks… it’s taking a machete to our faces. The sun is nowhere to be found, and standing outside with your friends to smoke a cigarette has proven to be an olympic game. It’s nearly winter, and snow is on the ground and ice is caked on our sidewalks.

    These things I mention sound hostile and bitter, but as a matter of fact, I am stating these comments with love and excitement. With the upcoming winter brings the incentive to cuddle up with pets and loved ones as a fire is roasting, and a record fills the empty noise around you. This is the season that Radiohead, Elliott Smith and Grizzly Bear pumps through your veins and directly to your hearts. This is the only time of year where white dust makes a sparkled reflection in every corner of our little “Ohio world.” December doesn’t have to be Jack Nicholson in The Shining, it can be Rosemary Clooney in White Christmas. So, bundle on up, dig up your winter jacket, and head out for a night out on the town. Maintaining warmth is possible even if you leave your electric blanket and and head to a bar. With plenty of local shows coming your way, a brew and some dancing is just the tip to warm you up.
