Event: The City Flea
Before June 2011, the concept of a true “urban flea market” — one not defined by moth-ridden attic flotsam and worn furniture — was one foreign to Cincinnatians, even amidst a bubbling arts and culture scene. Now in its second year, The City Flea has changed all that, anchoring creatives of all varieties from across…

Event: Cincinnati Belly Dance Convention
Conventions are typically more suitable for a business kind of crowd. They’re usually pretty boring, the only real (fleeting) enjoyment being the free samples and plastic Frisbees you get. By the end of it all, you’re just more pregnant with the many prophecies of businesses you’ve never heard of. The Cincinnati Belly Dance Convention is…
Onstage: Nothing
Although there’s typically nothing to write about theatrically speaking this time of year, I’m writing to tell you that Nothing is something worth seeing. I’m talking about a multimedia play by Belgian film director Nic Balthazar titled Nothing, which received its first local production during the 2012 Cincinnati Fringe in June. It’s back for another…
Comedy: Kevin Brennan
“I’m a little anti-establishment,” says comedian Kevin Brennan. “Anyone who says this is what you should behave like — that’s a crock of shit.

A recent study found that the national unemployment…
NBC-Ya Later: U.S. Network Does Best to Ruin Olympics
First let me say that I'm not what you would call a huge Olympics fan. This isn't an essay on sports. I'll tune in occasionally for things like basketball, soccer and Brazilian women's beach volleyball (LOTS of Brazilian women's beach volleyball), but it's hardly Must-See-TV for me every four years. If I had more patience,…
Shonen Knife with White Mystery and The Harlequins
Irony is not a concept usually shared by international cultures. Case in point: cats. The Western (Internet) world shows its adoration for felines by churning out pointless LOLcat YouTube video after LOLcat YouTube video, gilding this love with a patina of wink-wink jokeyness, as if to say, "Sure, we obsess over and anthropomorphize these cute…
The Chris Robinson Brotherhood
In the past, Chris Robinson has incorporated his musical influences into his original material the way an Italian chef works four cloves of garlic into a recipe — with total pride and absolute confidence in the distinct flavor of the finished product. First with The Black Crowes and then with his solo work, Robinson wore…
Punch Brothers
If Radiohead is “Experimental Rock” then Punch Brothers are Experimental Bluegrass. Before any Radiohead-heads go ballistic over that comparison, try checking out Punch Brother’s cover of “Kid A.” As Radiohead covers go, it’s quite special. (At least deserving of a “seems legit.”) The best part about Punch Brothers, though, is that they don’t just do…
WAZU
The dark ’80s synth sound has been reborn and we have, at least partially, WAZU to thank. WAZU is a duo based in New York City (but originally from Australia) made up of Matt and Rizz. While they have been a band for two years, they will release their debut album on Halloween (they are…
People Don’t Want to Live in Kentucky?
The folks over at Gallup have told us something that some Cincinnatians already believe: Kentucky is a shitty place to live. The Bluegrass State was ranked as the third-worst in the nation for livability because of its residents' affinity for tobacco, disinclination to go to the gym and for never seeming to find the time…
Paul Ryan Is Totally Ripped
Anybody who’s familiar with the Internet knows that it’s a great place for looking at pictures of people without their clothes. Apparently a lot of people want to do that to vice presidential candidates as well. According to Google Politics & Elections, the No. 2 most-searched term connected to Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan’s name is…

Presidential candidate Mitt Romney announced his running mate Saturday: U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan. Ryan is currently the chairman of the U.S. House of Representatives Budget Committee.

Xanadu (Review)
Critic's Pick Summers in Cincinnati tend to have theater in short supply.

20th Annual Cincy Blues Fest Starts TONIGHT
By all accounts (from people who actually attended or performed), last month’s huge Bunbury Music Festival was one of the best-run fests of its kind this area has ever seen.

COAST’s Latest Anti-Streetcar Rant Is Flimsier than Normal
The Coalition Opposed to Additional Spending and Taxes (COAST) has long been known locally for its unwavering opposition to the streetcar project, but the organization crossed the line into dishonesty Monday with its call to action about the sale of the Blue Ash Airport. In short, the statement claims that Cincinnati is trying to force…
Curmudgeon Notes 8.8.12
• A wet daily paper is near-useless. By the time the Enquirer and New York Times dry, my day is underway. I might get back to them after supper.

Rebels Of An Older Mold
C arving your own upward path in the perpetually congested music biz is an intimidating enough prospect on its own. Yet Danny Lee — the driving force behind Night Beats — has opted to one-up this great dare: He wants not just to create his band’s own fanbase but also his own scene. “There’s The…

The Campaign
Jay Roach, director of the Austin Powers movies as well as the excellent HBO-backed political dramas Game Change and Recount, would seem the perfect guy to guide this ribald satire of a North Carolina congressional race wherein each candidate is flawed — Cam Brady (Will Ferrell) is a slick, four-term Democrat who makes multiple Anthony…

A Hologram For The King

Yonder Alonso Recalls Time with Reds
It’s tough enough to make it to the big leagues — but when an MVP blocks your way, the road to the majors is even tougher. Since the day the Reds drafted Yonder Alonso out of the University of Miami in 2008, he was seen as a trade candidate or possibly even an insurance policy…
Power of Music Celebrated in ‘Music of Change’
Critic's Pick Several months ago, a regular troll on the CityBeat website whose frequent baiting insults I long gamely tolerated finally struck a nerve in me.

Cincinnati Voters to Decide on Four-Year Terms
Cincinnati voters will decide in November whether to double the length of their council members’ terms. City Council voted 6-3 on Aug. 1 to put the ballot initiative before voters.

A Day at the Park
Washington Park is a perfect storm. If the park were a poem, then its cacophony would be co-authored by Amiri Baraka, Sonia Sanchez and Kanye West. Baraka for the unmitigated barbed wire truth; Sanchez for the soft black song; and West for the rhythmic blast of cultural criticism. After a much ballyhooed 18-month, $47 million…

Comedy: Mark Eddie
Most guitar-slinging comedians offer their audiences a bit of traditional stand-up during a set. Not Mark Eddie. “Pretty much the whole show is guitar.

If you don’t yet call yourself a wino, you probably will after this.
