James Friley, aka Idiot GleeIdiot Glee, the one-man band-turned-overnight-Internet-sensation featuring Lexington's very own James Friley, will perform live on WRFL tonight as part of Ben Allen's kickass WRFL-Live series. The series features a different local act every Wednesday evening around 9 p.m., and Ben graciously posts photos and mP3 archives of the performance on his WRFL Live blog.
You can tune in to catch the show at 88.1 Fm on your radio dial if you're in Lex (James's sweet and summery pop jams might even make an interesting soundtrack to the second half of the UK game). Catch it via the interweb stream at wrfl.fm if you're anywhere else in the world. (P.S. Shameless self-promotion: My own WRFL show happens to start directly after Ben's ~ 10 p.m. - midnight every Wednesday.)
Idiot Glee got yet ANOTHER mention in a national online publication today, this time in the (rather bizarre) format of a transcription of a Facebook chat conversation between Friley and the writer (Impose Magazine's Hallie Newton). Those internet writers are eating him up, and with good reason. Order the insanely-low priced Idiot Glee EP on 7-inch here.
Local tip: if you're looking for street cred, you might wanna go ahead and align yourself in the "I was a fan of Bedtime before Friley turned into an international pop star" camp before it's too late for anyone to believe you.
