Notes

Ladies, Gents :

Excuse our unexplained hiatus -- those who follow us on Facebook know off-hand that we'll be experiencing some internet-related technicalities throughout the rest of February/early March. However, we'll be using this time to map out some new directions, including some new styles of musical production, new releases, (hopefully) some new connections, and well... if we told you all we had up our sleeves, we wouldn't have suspense on our side.

We'll be infrequently popping in-and-out throughout the next couple of weeks. Our posts may dwindle a bit, but the effort's still (mainly) there. We're taking interview applications, new artist affiliations and fan-suggestions! We'd love to hear some feedback from our faithful followers -- if we use your quick tips and hints (with your permission, of course!), we'll hit you up with some limited edition 'Captain Captain Industries' goodies. Questions/comments may be sent to CaptainCaptainIndustries@Gmail.com.



Oh, and one final note -- You've gotta check out our radio program (GREAT JOB, SOUND SQUAD!) on 100.1 KRUU FM. Locals can use their radio dials, but for our much larger international audience, feel free to visit KRUU FM's official website, and note the top-left-hand corner, where you can find a link that will sync our show with your iTunes, Windows Media Player, etc. Pretty fun stuff, and we jump at the chance to play YOUR music. Don't be shy :: we'd love to hear it! (tracks/artist info/'radio tag' submissions can also be sent to CaptainCaptainIndustries@Gmail.com)

:: Weekly Update ::

Good afternoon, all! Hopefully the weekend's going fine in your neighborhood. Let's take a couple minutes to recap this past week in the world of the Captain.

First off, many thanks are due to our Facebook crew, as they've been putting in some massive numbers in the past two weeks. We're well above 220+ fans, and we've made some great connections for our radio show (Great Job, Sound Squad! - Thursdays from five to six p.m. on 100.1 KRUU). We couldn't have done it without our blog, being older than our FB page by a good eight months or so. Major thank you's are due to the Blogger community as well! Since we have reached this milestone, we'll be more inclined to hold contests in the future.

Second, we had a major fire in our hometown! Located on 5th and Grimes,The Depot Building was home to eight tenants, several businesses, and many art studios. While the fire was tremendous, we're happy to report that nobody was (severely) injured. Take a look at these exclusive photos taken by our favorite photographer, Jessica Wood.




Finally, check out these tracks from Altariana, InDvisual, and an exclusive remix of an original track of ours from Arkitek Productions below :

That's all for now -- We'll be on a regular blog-schedule for the time being. We're having a solid November despite a decrease in post productivity. Thanks to all for being a part of C.C.I.!

New Thursday Afternoon Block

We're proud to say that the launch of "Ain't Nothin' But A 'G' Thang", the new four-to-five slot on KRUU FM, has fully basked in the ultimate glories of high critical acclaim as the newly confirmed Thursday Afternoon Dining Block openers played the likes of Thom Yorke and Radiohead, Blockhead, and a heap of tracks from [adult swim]'s Unclassified album. Our new season of Great Job! Sound Squad broke down the mental structures of many a listener, forcing said parties to vacate their previous lives, and restart anew, all while still wearing their seat belts.

It was nowhere near that dramatic, but we still have a good time. xx

THURSDAY AFTERNOON DINING BLOCK -

- 4:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. : Ain't Nothin' But A 'G' Thang (bread + butter)
- 5:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. : Great Job! Sound Squad (wine + cheese)
- 6:00 p.m. - 6:30 p.m. : Free Speech Radio News (meat + potatoes)
- 6:30 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. : Planet Erstwild (peaches + cream)

Only on 100.1 KRUU FM; the only solar-powered grassroots radio-station in the Midwest.

Another Little Something I've Been Working On

School starts the 29th, y'all. More graphics. More logos. More technical designs. More focus on the readers. More sponsorships!

Get at us for some ideas/collaborations/etc. You have a clothing line? We'd be so down to get a spot up here. Got a cool new tune? It'll probably get played on our show. Or at least mentioned on here. Blogger spotlighting probably could get turned up a notch. Tribute to the online-homies n' such. We're so close to doing prizes. I know. It's been in the works. We do have a growing swag pile building up.

Tomorrow! P.A.C. vs. Afroman in Burlington. Innovative local hip-hop + Grammy-nominated dank-rap. Sick stuff, dudes.

Great Job Sound Squad! Tonight, 5-6 (central) on KRUU FM.

KRUU

New - 100.1 KRUU FM's "Captain's Quarters" promo piece.

**Edit :

The original -

Get to Gettin' -- P.A.C. Shows

(Purple Asteroid Cadillac, courtesy of ReverbNation)

Def Jam showcases, the freshest material, and now : a slew of shows -- a gaggle of gigs, if you will. Yeah, I'm done, but you know who isn't? The entire P.A.C. crew, who are now slated for a nice chunk of February shows all across SE Iowa.

Y'all know these guys from our numerous posts about 'em. They're pretty popular around these parts, you might say. Guitarist Jason Burkhardt's a long-time homie of mine. Fooch is absolute fire as an MC, and he's got some equally as talented and dynamic connections that are scattered around my iTunes : check out his homie, Cayex Illah, who's contributions with Fooch on his (very) early material helped pave the way for the sound of now.

Big Z, the drum whiz, is a pretty slick dude as well - he's got some traveling under his belt, but he's been wanderin' these parts for a minute or so now, and SHZA's always down to rep C.C.I. via Facebook, so it really does seem fair that these guys garner a lot of attention here.

You can peep these (now official!) concert dates here -- and be sure to catch them at their first stop, The Beauty Shop, on the 11th. Always big things for the Purple Asteroid Cadillac clique.

--

Be sure to catch Captain's Quarters on 100.1 KRUU FM every Thursday from 5-6 P.M. Today, I'm sneaking in an original, unofficial release - and we've got Tama Eagleson in the studio, slated for a half-hour spot, so it's gonna be some good radio... something that's ... well, yeah, almost extinct.

We'll catch ya' tomorrow. We've got so many papers and over-due reports piling up, so we gotta get crackin'. Like I said yesterday, February should be a really good month for us.

Comment/Suggestion of the day : C.C.I. T-shirts?

Captain's Quarters - Orange Text Mode

(Behind KRUU FM)

Yo, today (and every Thursday) from five to six p.m., I bring the heat on "Captain's Quarters", a completely original radio program on 100.1 KRUU. Lately, I've been splitting the spot with local swag dealer, Tama Eagleson, who always matches my taste for radio-burnin' tunes. Check us out today by headin' over to KRUU FM's website and click that icon in the top left, over on the 'Playing on Air Now' tab. That'll stream our show directly into your iTunes, bro!

Today, I'm packin' some tracks by C.C.I. featured artist, Heath Morris, some new heat by Deadmau5, FlyLo, rare Ratatat tracks, and of course, we're bringin' a sixer of Chew Fu -- and that's just half of the show! I know you're gonna give this one a listen.

'Til then though, I'm out!
C.C.I. xx KRUU FM.
