Know someone using a cell phone as an alarm clock? This vintage clock radio in pristine condition offers a charmingly low-tech alternative.

On Oct. 4 at iMOCA, the local rockstar and architecture buff launched an exhibit of works by his grandfather Jan Ruhtenberg, a modernist designer. Here, a minimalist interview.

Lily & Madeleine made their debut on national TV Saturday, performing songs from their upcoming album on CBS This Morning.

This world premiere did not disappoint. Beth Leavel, a Tony Award winner, commanded every song she took on, moving fluidly among touchingly romantic and randy, handsy numbers.

Two nights before playing a concert sponsored by marketing-tech company ExactTarget at Lucas Oil Stadium, the rockers popped up on The Lawn downtown.

Indy’s own Lily & Madeleine, Trombone Shorty and Orleans Avenue, and many more musical performers and entertainers populated the stages as festival-goers strolled the park and shopped local styles.

The majority of these songs provide mellow-rock moodiness that begs for a beer or three. While that held true for this live show, it was also amped up a significant notch.

“We have [been to a lot of state fairs], but they all have a different vibe. The one thing they all share is great food stands. I’m going to eat a fried Snickers bar!”

The Indy native has racked up an impressive resume at a young age, playing with Slide Hampton, the Temptations, and the Four Tops.
