Thanks to Ali Sable for the design work!

To the many here among us who may not be sport-o’s, all this football mania may strike us as confusing, confounding, or just plain stupid. Well, I wanted to post something for those sportophobes out there in Interweblandia: here is an interesting little tidbit about the Superbowl. This year’s big game will feature two brothers as opposing head coaches: Jim and John Harbaugh. The national media has taken to rebranding The Superbowl as The HarBowl, or simply: Harbowl. See articles below:

New York Times -

ESPN -

That’s cute.

The one thing I don’t understand is why nobody—I mean NO BODY—has decided to call this game… drum roll please…

The Jimmy John Bowl

It is a phonically superior name, it includes nominative references to both brothers, and it makes me think about sub sandwiches.

Those are my thoughts going into this most hallowed of American Holidates…

Go Bills?

Just sayin… it’s cold, but it will be worth coming out to Bug Jar tonight, folks!

TONIGHT (2/23/13): The Bug Jar is pleased to announce the return of Atlanta-based indie-rockers, Gringo Star! In support we will have two of Rochester’s up-and-coming indie bands, Fowls and The Branch Davidians. Check out all three, and spread the word!

It is official: the last song played at The Bug Jar in 2012 was a cover of The Legend of Zelda’s theme music by The 23 Psaegz.

If I hadn’t just eaten a mountain of food, I would want this so badly right now.

Pull on your dancing shoes, Rochester; we’ve got a doozie of a show coming up on Friday, November 2nd!

Rochester Chip is a monthly series of events dedicated to promoting artists and groups who use the sound chips of retro computers and video game consoles to create new original music. This exciting and often experimental form of electronic music repurposes devices such as Nintendo Gameboys and Atari 2600s as synthesizers and sequencers to create exciting new compositions in a wide array of genres.

###########################################

Animal Style an audio / visual chiptune project by Joey Mariano. Utilizing clever and inventive songwriting along with effect-laden guitar, Joey has been consistently discovering new grounds in chiptune.

BC Likes You is the solo effort of BC Mostyn, guitarist for Revengineers and co-organizer of Rochester Chip. BC uses guitar, dual-gameboys, and vocoded vocals to create euphoric electronic pop music.

Fowls is a group of three guys creating catchy, riffy, and bright songs with just two guitars, bass and some minimal electronics. Great musicianship , great dudes, great jams.

SBthree was never cool enough to be in a band. Instead he makes weird music with his dad’s saxophone and a gameboy he bought at a garage sale.

Visuals by VJ PLZ. The most solid of bros with a bottomless pocket of animated .gifs, bright colors and rare gems of video.
