​

Good morning, Powell. Thirty years can change a lot, but some things still hit just as hard as they did in the '90s. Garage-punk band Cheater Slicks is experiencing this firsthand as their chaotic masterpiece "Don't Like You" receives a special anniversary reissue, pairing Jon Spencer's raw production with the band's original demos. The rerelease offers a fascinating glimpse into their creative evolution during financially turbulent timesβ€”proving sometimes the most challenging moments produce the most enduring art.

Meanwhile, fall activities are blooming across our community. The Richwood North Union Public Library has unveiled three months of programming for all ages, from Night Owls Story Time to competitive Puzzle Pandemonium events. And for those following entertainment news, Irish actor Domhnall Gleeson is bringing journalism to life in "The Paper," a new mockumentary about a struggling Ohio newspaper that's already secured a second season before its premiere on Peacock.

🎸 Cheater Slicks revisits their chaotic '90s masterpiece thirty years later. The garage-punk band's fourth album "Don't Like You" emerged from a turbulent period that included drummer Dana Hatch's temporary departure and challenging recording conditions in New York City. Producer Jon Spencer captured their raw, chaotic sound by amplifying the band's more uncontrolled elements, creating a distinctive sonic identity. The 30th anniversary reissue pairs Spencer's production with the band's original demos, highlighting their creative evolution during a period when they were struggling financially. Now in their retirement years, Cheater Slicks is experiencing an unexpected upswing in activity.
