PLAY LIST
Remember when Wednesdays meant there was a fresh alt-weekly newspaper in the newspaper box on the corner?
In it you found faces you recognized — of your friends and maybe even yourself. Mirror Indy’s new arts and culture newsletter is an ode to that magic, which is why it will hit your mailbox every Wednesday at noon. You can read or listen to it!

Dear Play Listers,
Do you know what “La Chona” is? My 8-month-old son danced to it for the first time with me last Saturday at the Polkas Norteñas Fest at the Indiana State Museum.
Musician Polka Bob from Indy Polkamotion was there to highlight the musical connections between Europe and the north of Mexico. Indy Folklore Academy and Grupo Folklorico Macehuani were there, too.
Listen here and then dance around your kitchen so that you get an idea. (They say everyone should dance to “La Chona” at least once in their lives.)
Anyway, we have art news today about things going on in the city, including a benefit concert to raise funds for people affected by the recent floods and the scoop on the new Pots & Pans Pie Co. location.
Stick around for a summery radish recipe with community cookbook writer Keaun Michael-Brown — he’s taking us to the Philippines this time.
Buckle up and let’s get to it!
