Clearly, it's March Madness...

Big ch-ch-ch-channnnges around the Industry!

First off, March has already been declared our biggest month yet, which means we've gotta figure out some way to pass that on to you...y'know, gift-wise. Some .mp3 action? Baller. Maybe we'll break out the ol' production equipment and make an exclusive track for all of our (even more!) loyal following. You will be the first to know, without a doubt.

Second, due to their growing following, Purple Asteroid Cadillac have finally risen up and taken the title of 'most popular featured artist', narrowly defeating long-time champs, The Olympics. Actually, I know of a little link that can get you some free P.A.C. jams; all courtesies going to ReverbNation and Fooch.

Finally, the biggest dynamic brother-duo since the Morris twins (Rock, chalk, Jayhawk!), Utopia Park, have just dropped their latest self-titled release (click!) fresh out of a spring mini-tour. Check out their C.C.I.-approved tour-blog, as well as their amateur space program, and their quest to catch the elusive Rumsfeld-lizard.

Winter X Games Fever

What's even more surprising than Shaun White failing to qualify in the Winter X Games?

C.C.I.'s Employee of the Week : The Success of...

Torin Yater-Wallace.

According to ESPN, Yater-Wallace is the youngest competitor on the 2011 Winter X Games roster and third youngest male in the Games' history. Yesterday however, I witnessed this kid pick up the gold medal, the youngest to do so -- by edging out popular face in the skiing super pipe world, Kevin Rolland. Simon Dumont finished third at 90.33.

Seriously though, a fifteen-year-old kid ripping it up? He can't even drive yet, and he's got a gold medal to hang up somewhere. Major props to Torin Yater-Wallace, Captain Captain Industries' Employee of the Week.

In other news, The Olympics, C.C.I regulars, have some new gems up on their YouTube account, which you can find here.

Somebody mentioned that February looks dreadful weather-wise for 2011, and knowing Iowa's winters, we'll probably get smacked with the worst of it.

So stay warm, y'all --

bisons n' buffalos

Did y'all see that art showcase @ The Beauty Shop yesterday? Camille's style is fucking ill. My boy Jason Burkhardt of the P.A.C. crew dropped some bills on a piece of this, and I gotta say, it's gonna look fly wherever he puts it.

Anyway, I was at our Medical Unit in Mt. Pleasant, when our lobby television displayed the local news, highlighting C.C.I. fav's The Olympics. Shit was ballin' outrageous.

Peep the official link right here. Good to see our bro's killin' it and taking their sound to the next level.

What else do we have in the file here... Oh, my playoff record thus far is 1-1. Not quite the 4-0 I imagined, but then again, who really thought the Seahawks would take it to the Saints? Congrat's to LT and the Jets for actually proving their worth under Rex Ryan by beating the Colts with a solid, last second field goal attempt.

Blahh, other than that, mellow day here. I'm gonna hit the sack. Proofreading mixtape selections and what-not. You take it easy though!

The Olympics + Santah

Free music is good music. That's why I suggest all of you brace the cold, and head to the Mill (in Iowa City) on the 21st of this month -- Captain Captain Industries fave, The Olympics, team up with Champaign, Illinois' very own Santah, just in time for the holiday season. The doors open at 9:00 P.M., so be sure and get a premium spot to watch n' learn. After ten, however, you've gotta be 19+ years of age to party.

For those who've followed us for a bit, you know that our first piece on The Olympic garnered a lot of attention, and a lot of traffic -- For good reason too! These bro's play catchy tunes, and they'll probably hang out with you after the show. Sounds like quality stuff to me, and I think it sounds like quality stuff to you as well. Hit 'em up at their OFFICIAL WEBSITE, listen to the songs featured, and be sure to catch 'em all at The Mill, December 21st - 9:00 p.m. sharp. Be there or be ▲.

I'm out. Stay warm, everyone. It's freezin' outside!

The Debut of - The Olympics

Captain Captain Industries induct local cult-favorite indie group, The Olympics, into Swag Week.

These Cedar Rapids maestros drop some four-piece-madness on the world, one questionable venue at a time. I had the pleasure of seeing the group play a show in downtown Ottumwa of all places -- I'd advise getting real familiar with these cats very very soon.

Hit 'em up at their official website, or their MySpace account.
