Because Music Begins With a Point of View Fri, 10 Oct 2008 23:11:07 +0200 Though their interview is not quite up there on the UI website, the boys of Fiasco are definitely an Uncensored Interview-Approved, Must-See CMJ Marathon Artist this year. The Brooklyn-based trio aren’t even old enough to enjoy the booze that seems to flow out of the New York clubs over the CMJ Marathon week, but play [...]
Fri, 10 Oct 2008 23:08:41 +0200 Cheer up! So the economy is crumbling around our feet as we speak, a dinosaur and a woman who doesn’t believe in dinosaurs might get elected to the highest office in the land and the insufferable Boston Red Sox might very well be on their way to another World Series championship.
Things could be much worse [...]
Thu, 09 Oct 2008 22:07:24 +0200 Taking Poingly’s lead, I am also going to confess some guilty pleasures. Although no one can outdo the Dave Matthews Band, I, like Bodies of Water, love me some Venga Boys:
In fact, any poppy Euro house is totally my guilty pleasure. I grew up in Chicago, a city with more Polish people than anywhere except [...]
Thu, 09 Oct 2008 20:25:05 +0200 A friend of mine found a hilarious video on YouTube when searching for an example of a Baltimore accent. It’s some musician in Baltimore who is frustrated at not being able to find a decent drummer. It leads one to believe there is no decent music to be found in the Maryland area. [...]

Ah, the guilty pleasure. It means different things to all of us, and it’s a question we here at Uncensored Interview love to ask of bands (The All-For-Nots tackle the question above). After Freebird and I sparred off last week about pop music, I thought I’d divulge into the Top 40est of 40s by [...]
Wed, 08 Oct 2008 20:22:07 +0200 I woke up this morning to a half open window and an undeniable truth blowing on my freezing cold, uncovered legs–it’s friggin’ October, man. I guess I’m such a warm weather lover that I’ve consciously blocked out all of the tangible evidence that summer is no more. But this morning there was no denying it [...]
Wed, 08 Oct 2008 20:15:07 +0200 Even though Poingly doesn’t want to hear it, I am going to talk about indie elitism. First, I am all for Project Jenny, Project Jan. And I am all for them listening to whatever they want to listen to. And I am all for them respecting likeminded artists who fight the corporate machine of music.
What [...]
Wed, 08 Oct 2008 20:12:04 +0200 There are bands whose interviews only pop if you know and love their music. If there is one band for who that is not true, one band whose persona is riveting and compelling even without knowing their music, it is the Gay Blades. You may not agree with what they have to say (In fact, [...]
Tue, 07 Oct 2008 00:44:20 +0200 I have to say it. The sheer volume of music that is out there nowadays is almost maddening. Going through all the randomness that is considered music to find the really good stuff is virtually a job–or in our case it actually is a job, so aren’t you glad that we are here [...]

Now you know what to expect from a KaiserCartel show you should check out this UI-Approved, CMJ Marathon Artist when they play CMJ. I’m saying this because they gave me a free t-shirt with a picture of a stuffed cat on it. ThePerryTrain loves a free t-shirt just like every other red blooded [...]
