On January 26, Matador Records will release Casual Victim Pile: Austin 2010, a compilation of Austin (and a bit of Denton) music. In February, WOXY and Austinist will join Matador in presenting a three-night showcase at Beerland celebrating the release.
The celebration is slated for February 4-6 at Beerland and includes Follow That Bird!, Dikes Of Holland, Kingdom Of Suicide Lovers, Distant Seconds, The Persimmons, Woven Bones, The Young, Wild America, Flesh Lights, Elvis, The No No No Hopes, Harlem, Golden Boys, Bad Sports, Love Collector, Stuffies and Lost Controls. That’s every band on the comp except Tre Orsi (who will be out of town) and The Teeners (broken up).
With a modest $5 cover for each night, we’re sure you’ll be able to squeeze in some tremendous local talent on all three evenings. Still unsure about whether or not you should show up? WOXY is giving away three-night passes between now and February 4: send us an email to woxycontests @ gmail.com and use the subject line Casual Victim Pile. We’ll let you know if you’ve won by Feb. 4.
Casual Victim Pile is still available for preorders from The Matador Store, double vinyl for the discount price of $15.30, single CD for $8.50.
Tune in to the Tuesday, January 5 episode of Local Lixx Austin, which will feature information about the shows as well as some teasers for the record.
This week on Local Lixx Cincinnati, we focus on the new album from Columbus, Ohio, collective The Super Desserts. The band just released a brand new album called Banjo Forever, and we have two new songs from the record to share. In addition, you get more new stuff from You, You’re Awesome, The Bellevue Project and our very first “Local Lixx Look Back.”
The Waiting Room is a 2 hour new music & non-sequitor chat show based out of Cardiff, Wales, UK. Co-hosted by the verbal miscreants one half of Drunk Country & The Woman of The House + the occasional guest, TWR delivers new bands, interviews & opinion at an alarming rate. All with an accent. Expect, then, music, blather, chaos & cheek.

The Trala-Lala Radio Hour is our newest show, hosted by Ben, Jeff and Jocie of The Low Anthem. We’ll let Ben give you the background:
Long before Low Anthem, Jeff and I used to DJ the graveyard shift on WBRU (Providence, RI). So, starting on January 31, we’re going to be doing a weekly program on WOXY. It’ll be fun to revisit. We’re calling it Trala-Lala Radio Hour and here’s the idea: we’re going to tape our shows from the tour van or wherever we may be traveling. Every week will feature a different theme based on God knows what and we’ll have “in studio” performances from guest artists if we can find any musicians who are cool enough to record live in a Ford Econoline…

You may know comedian Aziz Ansari from MTV’s “Human Giant” or his current role on the NBC sitcom “Parks & Recreation”, but over the last few years, he’s also become on the best stand-up comedians in the
country. His first stand-up special Intimate Moments For A Sensual Evening recently aired on Comedy Central and has now been released on cd & dvd.
This hour-long performance is one of the funniest things I’ve seen in a very long time. Aziz covers a myriad of topics, but hits his stride when he tells stories about harassing his younger cousin Harris on Facebook and the night he went out on the town with Kanye West.
Here’s a clip from the special where Aziz decides to have a little fun with the employees at his local CVS.
Thanks to our friends at The Syndicate and Comedy Central, we have 5 copies of the Intimate Moments For A Sensual Evening dvd to give away! It features the full, uncensored hour-long special (along with a bonus encore performance from Aziz’s “Funny People” character RAAAAAAAANDY) and also a bonus 30-minute performance that was filmed at the Upright Citizen’s Brigade in Los Angeles last fall.
If you would like to win a copy of the dvd, just send an e-mail to woxycontests at gmail dot com and put Aziz in your subject line for a chance to win. Please include your mailing address in the body of the e-mail
so that we can ship your dvd to you if you win. We’ll accept entries thru February 10, 2010 and notify the winners via e-mail.
Tune in each week as Larry and John of Future Sounds bring you 2 hours of the top independent and unsigned bands.

From our friends at Austinist: “Though you can listen to the upcoming Midlake record The Courage of Others at NPR, we think it’s a lot more fun to get together with friends, have a couple beers, and give away some vinyl when we do a listening party. That’s why we’re teaming up with WOXY again for another listening party at the Scoot Inn on February 2 at the Scoot Inn. Join us!
In addition to the CD and digital album release, the band will release a deluxe edition, featuring a copy of the band’s short film directed by Jason Lee, a double LP, 45 rpm version of the record, a 32-page book and a live CD. We’ll have a few goodies (some vinyl included) for contest winners and much more at the event, so come on out and say hello.”

If you’ve been to Marfa, you’ve got a story to tell. You’re probably always looking for a reason to go back to the vast landscapes and friendly people, back to a place where the sheer beauty of our fair state shines through without hesitation. Everyone loves Marfa, and WOXY is so excited to be a part of the city’s legendary film festival, happening May 5-9. Marfa is a small town alone on a high plateau, a place defined by a history of separation, where life proceeds at its own distinct pace as a harmony of antithesis: cowboy culture and high-art. Designed as a gasp of fresh air, Marfa Film Festival is a retreat far away from the chaotic and competitive environments found on the festival circuit. It’s a get-a-way that is truly WAY out there.
Because Marfa’s wide-open plain, distant mountains and incomparably starry nights are part of the draw, Marfa Film Festival will have outdoor screenings during the festival. Indoor screenings – 30 hours of features, shorts and experimental works – will be anchored at the state-of-the-art Crowley theater. Festival headquarters will be at the famous Paisano Hotel (where James Dean and Elizabeth Taylor lived during the filming of “Giant”).
WOXY will be giving away some day passes to the festival between now and May – email us at woxycontests @ gmail.com with the subject line ‘Marfa’ to be entered to win.

May 5th to May 9th, 2010
