I am clearly a big fan of Casey Brookbush. I shot this at Hangar 420 Snohomish before the storm of 420 swept over us. It was a fun day working with old friend Jess Webb who was one of the people that can say she was there in 2002 when the The Staxx Brothers got started, hit the road, and wrote …

Thanks to numerous remixes for other artists, multi-talented Patrick Glassl, aka Patrick G-Spot, has made a name for himself in the scene over the last few years. His ‘partner in crime’ Danky Cigale is responsible for productions and remixes for artists such as Alphaville, Haddaway, Soultans, or Thea Austin (SNAP!). The two got to know …

Have you ever been in a relationship that never should’ve happened? One of those situations where you’re just having fun with someone on the weekends and all of a sudden they have a key to your apartment and 7 months later you’re like “what just happened?” Too often we stay in bad relationships for too …

True Love of Crime is the astonishing debut album from Belaver, a singer, songwriter and musician alone but never lonely in New York City. Drawing influences from true icons like Neil Young and David Bowie as well as the more soulful alt-country stars like Bill Callahan and Townes Van Zandt, Belaver creates enervating, illustrating, deconstructing, …
Another Scottish band so enamored with old America, they do Americana better than Americans. Voice is off-putting, and line-by-line invokes every lyrical stereotype and standard in the genre… yet the sound is attractive, and the chorus seals the deal; overrides any hastily-conceived aversions. In short, quite a good song – Steve Stav
Amazon will pay $0 in taxes on $11,200,000,000 in profit for 2018 Amazon not only had all those benefits, it had the benefit of securing a market, building a business for years by not charging sales tax – a huge advantage over the brick and mortar stores it damaged or put out of business. People …
Near the end of the first half of the Portland Trailblazers’ first round playoff Game 1 last year against the New Orleans Pelicans, I noticed on the scoreboard that Damian Lilliard and CJ McCollum had combined for a total of 3 points. It looked like a misprint, but in fact it turned out to be …
Mike Scott has always had a little Jagger swagger, fancying himself a rock n roll troubadour, yachtsman’s cap and all. It’s not definitional, per se, to his wide-ranging song-writing cannon, but it’s there in anthems such as “The Whole of the Moon,” “Everything is Rags,” and, most notably, “The Big Music.” Nearly two decades ago …
If automation is so inevitable that we are just going to bend over and take it lying down without a fight, we have zero chance in hell of saving our environment. Zero. Chance. In Hell. We are so weak and lazy we have zero faith in our collective ability to organize to stop using self …

I just got in a fascinating argument where I had to calm down an employee and supervisor, because I asked the Right questions. I refused to use the new Kiosk at Costco to order a Ceasar salad. I almost did it, but I just couldn’t. I pulled out my card. I told the girl I …
Tonight I started trying to collect some photos of these adventures to Jamaica and England before they are lost in the ether and die in the coldness of the cloud. If a picture is worth a thousand words, I have 10,000 words and 100 hooks to say about this shot of a Sick Donkey Records …
Chills, baby, Chills… These songs are a punch to the uterus of all humanity… Janis Joplin, Patti Smith, Vilma Flood… This album is audacious, internal, personal, portable, emotive, routinely powerful, protruberant, bleakly beautiful, true, clear, expertly played, precisely recorded, deeply felt and extremely important… Prick up your ears and listen! Coming out of a 2 …
The Portland Diamond Project is a group of wealthy investors dedicated to bringing Major League Baseball to Portland. Most of those loaded individuals and corporations are secret, but two of the backers known to the public are this lovely singer, Ciara, and her even lovelier Seahawks Quarterback Husband, Russell Wilson.

‘In This Dim Light’ may be Beverly Kills most compelling single to date and further encapsulates the bands signature sounds as they suck you in with dreamy and infectious hooks then spit you right back out with raw and thumping energy.The initial tone of the song is set by Alma Westerlund’s beautiful vocals that flow effortlessly over …
Dan Wilson released a new song, “The Rules,” in keeping with his announcement last year to release a new song each month in lieu of full length album in 2019. These songs, which include “Fly Safe,” “Uncanny Valley” and “We Ain’t Telling,” follow the release of his critically-acclaimed 2017 solo album Re-Covered where he revisited songs he wrote with other artists including Adele, Chris …
I haven’t had time to do an edible or any of that in a while I’ve been so busy. And I work in a Shop. So this was nice. A day off. I sat down and instead of writing a song, I wrote the first page of a book. My apprehension with a novel is …
I’ve got the killer debut single here from Norfolk guitar slinger Michael Paul Lawson, whose visceral lyrics recall the Sam Stone–Paradise work of John Prine. You can smell barroom pheromones and coagulated blood in the air on this one. This is carnal (which means both “meaty” and “sexual”) Americana with cinematic overtones. Suffice to say, …
Look Homeward, Angel from Cellista on Vimeo. CELLISTA is an avant, savant cellist with long, strong fingers and a missionary’s visionary mind who brings new, true, acoustically rustic elements of Kronos Quartet, Merzbow, Rasputina and Zoe Keating into her music and thensome, baby!
As fleet afoot as a Bavarian in November, fashionized like an occupied Parisienné, Madonna channels Eva Braun in this Boys (and girls) from Brazil – La Isla Bunker Bonita video. “Your escape submarine is waiting in the harbor, Frau/Señora Ciccone.” It’s not only Argentina that’s crying…
From classical church boysinger to radical march songwriter and queer, inscrutable pop artist of his time, Antony Carle is a talent who leaves nobody indifferent and always finds somebody to listen. As a “woke” child, Antony was very fond of his family’s 20th century album collection. He was fascinated and sometimes stimulated by the powerful, overfull voices, the residual, unusual sounds of bedroom lovers and …
Having been compared to the late and great James Brown, Lee Fields is taking over the horned soul and jazz stratosphere. He has released several exceedingly smooth albums, including My World, Faithful Man and Special Night. Fields may have started in the 50s, but his music is just as influential today as it was then. …
