Blog Spotlight: RadCulture - Your Ultimate Cure For Boredom

 
If you want to stay current on Columbus entertainment add RadCulture to your news feed, twitter, and Facebook!  Known as the ultimate cure for boredom, RadCulture is the brainchild of local cousins Brad and Adam Kripke.

The site slogan is “Things that are RAD written by Brad” which is exactly what you will find at RadCulture. Humorous, clever and insightful social commentary is executed by Brad, as well as informative news and straightforward reviews on everything from great happy hours, to the latest Iphone app, to the best places to hear live music in Columbus.  

When asked about the mission of RadCulture, co-founder Adam Kripke explained, “RadCulture's mission is simple, blog about things we think are RAD. Everyday you and I get emailed funny videos,  learn about fun games, see new tech gadgets, hear about a great band, or eat at an excellent restaurant. Our team simply takes the best of the best and blogs about it. Normally in order to learn about these new discoveries you need to visit multiple websites. We try to bring it all under one virtual roof. Since we are based in Columbus, Ohio we do our best to find the hidden gems in the community and inform our readers about it."

Recent RadCulture news includes “Kiss Killa,” the 92 year old woman who was arrested for shooting her neighbor's house after they got into an argument because he refused to give her a little “sugar”, reviews of Happy Hour at Bernard’s Tavern, The Teenager’s remix of the Vampire Weekend single “Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa” and local indie rockers Harboring Ghosts. RadCulture has also produced a spring show guide featuring some of the best local performances coming this season.

If I had to pick my favorite aspect of the RadCulture blog, it would have to be the jingle! It features hilarious lyrics from none other than Brad, sounding like a mix between T-Pain and Jeffree Star comically singing about his hopes of the website getting people laid.

Funny, creative, informative, and definitely a fun cure for boredom, RadCulture is quickly becoming a favorite for finding the best in Columbus entertainment and social life.

The Latest Crave: Marble Park



Get your funk fix with: Marble Park


Marble Park Members: Tony Stewart, Dawu'd Jones, Simo Filali, Charles Valentino, Patrick Ashby

There is so much to love about this band, homegrown roots, funky fresh vibes and music to make you melt...when it comes to review of the album , I just dont know where to begin! I'll start with the sweet, soulful and smooth vocals of Charles Valentino on the smoky track "Your are My Life". Then head on over to the magical way that DJ Jones makes that bass seep through your bones on "I didnt feel a thing". Take a trip down memoy lane with Just One Night hits then get ready for some certified funk with sick riffs a la Patrick Ashby on guitar in I'd follow you anywhere. With strong rhythmic grooves that aim to please (baby, baby, please!) Marble Park takes you on a first class trip to funkytown...just the way we like it!


Watch Charles Valentino as he takes the win on Pepsi's Gimme the Mic Competition!

The Latest Crave: Manic for METAL

My metal roots have stirred a longstanding disdain for pop music and any other form of bubblegum wrapped music (Screamo bands anyone?) 

Bone breaking double bass, blood curdling screams, and lethal drum solos make metal entrancing. Metal has the power to bring people together. Walk into a metal show full of people you have never met before and as soon as the music hits you can find yourself moshing- arms to face to head to hands and if you fall down EVERYONE STOPS to pick you up. Thats the love in metal, thats the love of music, of the vibes of all people coming together through one sound.

It never ceases to amaze me how little interaction the general public has with Metal, when GWAR came to Columbus, I could hardly contain myself as I eagerly awaiting the green and red paint that would drench my body and leave me rainbow stained for at least a few days!

Its as though people cant see the love in metal. But if your are a fan, then you know. If your not a fan then you are missing out on some serious life changing music.

Local metal bands stand up and get in the faces of your fans, we're out here and we just can't get enough so keep it coming!

Here is a video of an up and coming kick ass metal band straight out of Columbus!
