A little info about the show...
Serving opiates to the masses since 1998!!!
A delightfully schizophrenic mix of the classics that made your pare...nts pray for your immortal soul, the current hits that all the cute girls are dancing to, brutal sonic assaults that will alienate you from your loved ones, & everything else in between.
P.S. Lou Barlow loves my show!

"As simple as it may be for many musicians to hum a melody and relay it into instrumental form, capturing a sense of atmospheric believability is a skill that cannot simply be taught…it would be quite easy for me to group Ports of Call into the masses of shoegaze ...revivalists…but they, unlike many of their contemporaries, clearly have the ability to craft an audible atmosphere through their musical prowess alone. Whether it be through their haunting production effects, reverbed vocals, or resoundingly sterile guitars, their atmospheric ability is easy to admire.”

"The sound of Screen Vinyl Image is just as hard to pin down as the meaning behind the band name itself. And I suppose that’s the point—these are musicians that revel just as much in the unknown and the path less taken as they do the familiar murky shadows their music always seems to conjure."
-Rick Taylor for www.brightestyoungthings.com
Luxa | http://www.myspace.com/luxanyc
Luxa has a dim relation to the newer offshoot genres of shoegaze, but enters greater landscapes with a volatile adventurism and a new kind of dynamism in its swirling beauty. raw and tender. complex and simple. consumable and out of reach.

Music for Headphones | http://www.myspace.com/musicforheadphone
music.for.headphones was started by Jonathan Allen as a recording project in Athens, Georgia in the summer of 2000. Over the last 8 years, many members have come and gone (and come back again) and the band has made a home-base of at least 3 cities. For the most part, the band wasn't much of an organized outfit until Allen moved to Philadelphia and reconnected with his friend Aaron Aleiner (b) in 2006. Allen's brother, Patrick Richardson (d) joined them, and the band started to perform and record more seriously. To this day, there's not much in the way of a permanent lineup as members come and go from time to time creating a fluctuation of style spread amongst the bands recordings. Sound and style has ranged from Rugby space rock to London shoegaze, ("go.see.girls.rock" 2006), from delay-drenched Creation sounds ("Kosmonaut" 2006) to a more aggressive, American-psych inspired sound ("Frequency of Oscillation" 2007). music.for.headphones' most recent EP, "Preface/Alternate", was released January 30th, 2008 and starts bringing all of the it together.

Cinemasophia will be releasing their new album, Fits & Cycles, on 4/7/09 through Little Black Cloud records in digital and LP formats. The album was recorded with John Morand (Sparklehorse, Labradford, Breadwinner, Camper Van Beethoven) at Sound of Music in Richmond, VA and a bedroom in Brooklyn over the course of a year. The band will be digitally re-releasing their first two albums, Dialectic and Whole Ghosts, later in the year and will be spending their time playing show after show after show. Little Black Cloud are currently selling copies of the band's tour EP/sampler featuring songs from the new record and a live track recorded at Southpaw in Brooklyn during the final leg of the Whole Ghosts tour.
