Good morning, Westerville. Three decades after recording in a sweltering New York basement, garage-punk band Cheater Slicks is celebrating their chaotic masterpiece "Don't Like You" with a special anniversary reissue. The album, born during a turbulent period when drummer Dana Hatch briefly left the group, captures a raw energy that producer Jon Spencer amplified into something legendary—proving some artistic flames burn brighter under pressure.
Meanwhile, Columbus-based White Castle is turning up the volume through a partnership with Spinal Tap II, just as they expand to their first Texas location. On a more urgent note, Franklin County residents should be aware that IMPACT Community Action's Emergency Rental Assistance program ends September 30 when COVID-era funding expires. After helping over 38,000 households with more than $132 million in assistance, the program is directing those in need to alternative resources like Rentful614.

🎸 Cheater Slicks revisits their chaotic '90s masterpiece after three decades. The garage-punk band's fourth album "Don't Like You" emerged during a turbulent time when drummer Dana Hatch briefly left the group before producer Jon Spencer convinced him to return. Recording in a cramped New York basement studio during sweltering heat, the band created a raw, chaotic sound that Spencer amplified in his solo mixing sessions. Now celebrating with a 30th anniversary reissue that includes original demos, Cheater Slicks continues to perform despite the members reaching "retirement age."
🎸 White Castle turns up the volume with Spinal Tap II partnership. The Columbus-based burger chain is promoting the sequel to the iconic mockumentary film with special in-store materials. This collaboration is part of White Castle's expanding marketing efforts, which come alongside geographic growth including their first-ever Texas restaurant. The company has been making significant moves recently, including naming the first non-family president in its 104-year history.
🏠 Franklin County's emergency rental aid vanishes this month. IMPACT Community Action announced its Emergency Rental Assistance program will end September 30 when COVID-era funding expires.

While new applications are no longer being accepted, existing submissions will still be processed.
