We here at DIT would like to announce a very special event taking place Friday, April 1st at a venue known as… THE INTERNET. Yup, that thing that you’re staring deep and intently into as you read this. 6 p.m. on that date shall see the digital release of a regional  compilation dubbed “EVERYONE’S A CRITIC”.

Ian Howell of Kalamazoo’s Inflatable Best Friend has gathered up some of his favorite bands and given them the opportunity for wider exposure on this mighty fine and diverse release. What better way to get the music into the ears of the masses than a free release via the IntraWeb?

“I wanted to get really cool bands that I had heard involved with each other and create a stronger sense of community in the midwestern musical world,” says Howell, 17. He describes this as the genesis of a label he is looking to start, Obvious Records.

“It makes me really frustrated to see bands competing with each other,” adds Howell. “It’s really in everyone’s best interest to be as nice as possible to fellow artists. We have to help each other out and “Do it Together”.”

So that’s 6 p.m., yah’ll, Friday, April 1st, right from the comfy confines of your computer room. You can stream the album in the meantime.
