News Noise ordinance update
Posted By Jeff Hahne on Mon, Mar 21, 2011 at 5:38 PM
The Community Safety Committee met on Monday for the next round of discussions on the proposed noise ordinance changes. The main focus of that portion of the meeting was to hear public comments about the noise ordinance proposal.
Before hearing comments, city attorney Mac McCarley announced that the city of Charlotte has dropped the proposal as far as it is concerned with prohibiting live, outdoor, amplified music within 400 feet of residentially zoned areas. McCarley said "that swept up too many establishments that were not a problem."
During Monday's meeting, the committee heard comments from sides who are for and against the noise ordinance. The council noted that they have already received a large amount of feedback on the issue.

News Uptown Amphitheatre gets new sponsor
Posted By Jeff Hahne on Mon, Mar 21, 2011 at 9:57 AM
The venue formerly known as the Uptown Amphitheatre and then Road Runner Mobile Amphitheatre has changed sponsors and will now be known as Time Warner Cable Uptown Amphitheatre... not to be confused with the uptown arena known as Time Warner Cable Arena.
Maybe if I call the Arena the "Cable Box," the Amphitheatre will be known as "The Satellite Dish"? I'm open to suggestions...

Posted By Jeff Hahne on Fri, Mar 18, 2011 at 10:23 AM
Each Friday, we review 10 recently released CDs in 10 words each:
The Steven L. Smith Band Pieces — Hints of honky tonk roll through decent bar band sound.
Deadlock Bizarre World — Female vocals help break up the horrible cookie monster growling.
Caitlin Rose Own Side Now — Nashville-born singer goes with an old-style sound… meh.
The Damnwells No One Listens to the Band Anymore — Brooklyn indie rockers release fourth album — hints of pop within.
Daniel O’Donnell Moon Over Ireland — In time for St. Patty’s Day, but kinda boring, sleepy.
Various Artists Rango Soundtrack — Mostly instrumental soundtrack features a few tracks by Los Lobos.
Screeching Weasel First World Manifesto — Chicago punk band releases its first new material since 2000.
The Dirtball Nervous System — Kottonmouth Kings’ Dirtball has elements of Eminem — with weaker lyrics.
Various Artists Dance Mix USA — Mostly unknown songs get remixed into monotonous, thumping club tunes.
Tony Castles No Service EP — Brooklyn band’s brand of freak funk has some quality pieces.
