Seluah (75)
Seluah (2002)
"Signals You Still Know When to
Send"
"City of Dis"
"The Other Side of the Gun"
"I rode my bike down to 900-something
Clay Street from St. Matthews back in
2000, maybe 2001. I had heard about a
band called Seluah that was playing a
kind-of studio party downtown. Seluah
instantly made a dent in my brain, you
know, something you never forget. I
loved Ed Grimes' voice and loved him
equally on the drums. So moody and
drone-y. I swear, for three years straight
I fell asleep listening to their self-titled
album in my CD player/alarm clock."

One Less Heartless to Fear (2010)
"Axons and Dendrites"
"The Human Face"
"The Photoelectric Effect"
"Experimental rock — dreamy, complex
and melodic. The late great Jason
Noble (also of Rachel's and Rodan) was
one of the most infuential Louisvillebased artists of all time."

Crain (67)
LIONEL HAMPTON
LOUISVILLE ORCHESTRA
Speed (1992)
"Car Crash Decisions"
"Proposed Production"
"King Octane"
"Crain sounded like being inside
the coolest, most fun, extended car
crash of all time. You never knew
from which direction or how hard the
next punch was gonna come. I can't
even remember how many times I
was embarrassed to pick back up a
drumstick after a Crain show."
