Each Note Secure covering Cincy’s music scene

There has been a new addition to the greatest, best blogroll God has ever given man on the face of the earth. Each Note Secure is a, “Cincinnati Music Blog” that started almost 4 years ago. Owner, Joe Long, describes the site as being “an outlet for me to talk about my sometimes obsessive music tastes.”

The site features observations/reviews on music, the industry, and a lot of information about the Cincinnati music scene. A scene that Joe feels has a lot of great local bands right now. Who would be better to listen to on the topic than someone who is obsessive and passionate about it?

Each Note Secure is pretty comprehensive with its reviews. Each one tends to come standard with audio clips and links to artists/producers. If you’re looking for the best music reviews and show information, in the Cincinnati area, then I recommend checking out ENS.

*Site maintenance note: There have been a few small changes to the site recently…some of which will be permanent, others temporary. There will also be another change to come – a newly created logo. Right now I am sending out a request for submissions for an UrbanCincy.com logo design contest. If you are interested please email me to be provided with specifics…or look for the details online HERE.

Introduction

I thought I would start out my first post on this blog with a mission statement, here goes:

Cincinnati is a city that too often defines itself by its failures, rather than its successes. By its missteps, rather than its accomplishments; by its delays rather than its progress. We are a city that subscribes wholeheartedly to the famous Mark Twain quotation, regardless of its veracity. A city that looks to the unfinished development at the river rather than applaud the hundreds of new residences downtown. A city that bemoans the loss of department stores to the suburbs rather than celebrate the new retailers that have sprung up in Over the Rhine. A city that laments its unfinished subway rather than one that advocates for its proposed streetcar. A city with a remarkable past, but with citizens that doubts its future. We need to change this mindset and these expectations.

New and hopefully improved

This work in progress called UrbanCincy has evolved some more…and I thought I should keep everyone apprised as to what has happened.

First off, I’ve changed the header graphic around slightly to something I think is a little more visually pleasing. Secondly, I have removed the Downtown Cincinnati News Bits section (on the left), and replaced it with a news feed from Cinplify.com. The other change is the big one (at least to me…maybe not you). No longer is it http://urbancincy.blogspot.com…oh no, now it is simply www.urbancincy.com.

Tell your friends, coworkers, family, and loved ones. UrbanCincy continues to get better for all of you. Be on the lookout for more improvements down the road as UrbanCincy will continue its maturation into your Cincinnati blogspot.

***EDIT: The proverbial glitch has now been fixed…you can now simply type in “urbancincy.com” and it will direct you to the site. All is well!
