rivercityvibe   “Puerile, smutty, schoolboy nonsense” – My Mom

We are verging a little into hipster territory here (which I hate), but I thought it would be nice to plug Urban Jacksonville Weekly LIVE! which begins at the 5 Points Theatre (note spelling) in a mere hour or so. For the 88% of rivercityvibe readers who do not live in the River City (13th biggest city in the US. you heard it here first…..) Urban Jacksonville Weekly is a BRILLIANT podcast full of funny chat and interesting info (they once plugged us). It’s hosted by three hip young gunslingers who I will call The Beard, The Suit and The Oddpants. These sobriquets are expressions of love my dears….

Anyway, the original plan for the LIVE! Podcast involved showcasing the extended trailer from the new film by graffiti-sensation Banksy, the public-minded vandal who has made millions from his ‘street art’. Here’s a version of the trailer for Exit through the Gift Shop:

I respect Banksy, but I can take him or leave him. My interest in this movie is primarily in its soundtrack. The song at the beginning of the trailer is Tonight the Streets are Ours by the double-plus legend Richard Hawley.

He was only in Pulp. That’s all.

No big whoop.

Lately, I have become more familiar with the blogging community in Jacksonville. You’ll appreciate that until people started commenting on rivercityvibe, the weboids and I had barely a nodding acquaintance (in fact, I used to bully them in college, but that’s one of the behaviors I am seeing that Buddhist about).

I have to say I was absolutely DELIGHTED when, out-of-the-blue, Jacksonville legend (and non-geek) Tony Allegretti contacted me to say he had recommended rivercityvibe on the Urban Jacksonville Weekly podcast. The show itself made me blush, so kind were his words. He went so far as to say we were a serious  challenge  to co-host Joey Marchy’s position at the top of the local blogging community. I genuinely could not give a fat rat’s ass about that, but it was nice to hear, and I looked forward to it being posted online.

Then it mysteriously vanished. Nobody knew where it was. It seemed as though it had never existed. It was, frankly, uncanny –  like the Twilight Zone. I know some of you have your conspiracies theories on this. I’m cool with it, though………

Anyway, it’s been found. So thanks very much to the Tony, Joey and Jonathan at Urban Jacksonville Weekly. The show is here. In the barely conceivable event of you not being interested in two week old Jacksonville news, let it load and spool forward to about 4 minutes before the end.

Thanks again Tony!
