Singing a catchy melody, Jamie Lindsay showcases his tour-de-force talent by steering away from the traditional production-heavy releases of today and allowing his vocals to be at the forefront in this new single, “Simple Life.” Expertly inter-playing Jamie’s vocal prowess along with a capella harmony, this little gem will have you singing along. Jamie’s big …
So you think Biden has the African American vote. That’s cool. Maybe he’ll do a concert with a major African American act like 98 Degrees. I saw Rage and Ozomatli rocking out in protest at the Democratic Convention in the year 2000. Bernie is sharing the stage with Chuck f☆cking D and Public Enemy. This …
Front row seats at The Democratic debate last night were $1,750. Not quite Rage Against The Machine pricing. But you can bet that there won’t be any Social Democrats in the front row there either. The fix is in and it is backfiring. In other countries they can just turn off the internet. The real …
My favorite part about the one inevitable show down between Bernie and Trump, is that never before have we seen a better example in modern American times of David vs Goliath. Trump has Mother Russia, the courts, The Trolls, the Super Pacs, The Military, The Sheriffs, the RNC, a football to launch Nukes, a Billlion …

This is a powerful break up song, loaded with frenzy, mania, sadness and a modicum of hope. It’s quite lovely. Playing With Vipers is a one man band from France, which is VERY cool…
Very cool stuff here. Cloudchord embodies the lofi chillhop side of things, with an occasional, joyful, energetic detour. Neo Soul guitars and ’70s yacht rock flutes disintegrate into funky bass slaps, psychedelic vocal chops, and anime ear candy. Always unpredictable. Taken By The Sky by Cloudchord
There’s no better band out there right now than Kills Birds and they’re going to be at Doug Fir on 3/6. Photo credit: @cowboycrush “The debut album from Kills Birds is a furious, fuzzy bombshell…The album’s rumbling, squealing opening track is the perfect soundtrack to 100 beers spilling on the floor of a dark rock club.” …
Hello East Portland: I am deeply disturbed. Just a day or two before his impeachment vote, the President appeared at the “March for Life” anti-abortion rally. (Think Religious Right). I saw a clip on tv with him talking about how much he supports the viewpoint of the pro-lifers and all life is sacred. If the …
The latest from Cautionary Tail Records is a visceral, exotic and wholly original work from Katie Burden: View this post on Instagram #desertdaze #jennyleelindberg #joshuatree A post shared by Katie Burden (@katieburdenmusic) on Oct 29, 2016 at 6:32pm PDT
I went back to October 2016 before America completely shat that bed, and I grabbed this photo of me reluctantly but proudly doing my duty to vote BLUE and against Donald Trump. I did so as a guy that supports Bernie then and now. I’ll have this ready when anybody talks about Bernie or Bust, …
As a decades-long fan of both sex and honesty, this is naturally one of my Depeche Mode favorites. “Stripped” is of course not about sex, but about the intimacy that on the best of nights sex can be, ironically, a gateway to. Nose-to-nose on a couch, intertwined in bed… sharing dreams, fears… truths. On the …
Every great once in a while I get fan mail. Or, a nice note about something, really. I sent this little bit from EPB as a response to such a note. I am not a great writer; though I will nowadays admit that I’m a good, completely self-taught bit of a hack. I never finished …
This is still tripping out. The Beatles played Ed Sullivan Feb 9th, 1964. Bernie’s now famous photo of him resisting arrest in Chicago at a civil rights demonstration was August 1963. This dude has literally been on the same message since before Dylan first got The Beatles stoned, which August 28th 1964. For any of …
The Democratic establishment is freaking out right now because they are experiencing the problem of throwing good money after bad. Bloomberg can’t buy the votes with billion dollars. He already spent half a billion. Bezos can buy The Washington Post, but up a pay wall and commission 1000 stories about how Mayor Pete is more …
Bernie Sanders is so old he can remember hearing FDR’s Fireside Chats. He’s so old Hitler was hunting his down people when he could talk…and walk. He’s so old he’s outlived the idealism of the Boomer generation, and he’s too old to be a Boomer. And he is still fighting. He is not having senior …
Here’s a tip on how Putin’s propaganda machine works…brilliantly. They overload individuals and the media’s ability to eliminate and process information with simultaneous and conflicting stories. It works really well now that we are already in a confusing and distrusting state of chaos and noise. You shoot down an airliner for instance… Then you have …
Born to a prominent Jewish family in Washington Heights, New York, Taali grew up learning the values of community. After years of vocal cord issues, which culminated in a surgery and Taali unable to sing herself, she leaned harder into writing for others including Mad Decent hip-hop innovator Jarina De Marco, gospel performer Mali Music, and José James, whom she later co-founded independent record …
Leeds-based Indie/Alternative phenomenon Melancholy Ray have released, “15 Years”, a song which takes a look at two life altering events from front-man Callum’s recent past. (Callum has only one name, like Cher and Bono.) The first of which was a relationship that Callum was involved in, which although complicated was also something that meant a …
On President’s Day February 17 I ventured down to Tacoma, WA with two others to see and hear Senator Bernie Sanders speak. As I approached the Dome, I saw long lines snake around the structure approximately a mile long and often as many as three people deep. The event began with some entertainment, a couple …
Behold sleek, chic LA songstress Olivia Henry, whose impeccably tight new album, Expectations, is loaded with racy, noir-ish, power-femme, alterna-soul and has drawn comparisons to original torchlighters Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald along with late-coming girl-crush badasses Jill Scott and Amy Winehouse. View this post on Instagram #freethenipple and come see my show September 15th …
Behold Indonesian indie pop duo Stars and Rabbit who just released a whimsical new video featuring dreamlike collages of flowers, animals and aquatic life. With such a playful approach to rock n roll, the duo make the mundane miraculous as they deliver their sweet ode to taking a day off to enjoy the park. View …
Jamaican dub poet and songstress Jah9 uses clever wordplay to realize one’s own self-worth and address someone else’s lack thereof on this cautionary tale about relationships. The song, produced by Jah9, Romario “Runkus” Bennett and Iotosh Poyser, warns the listener to not let the misguided affect your own journey. “As my search takes me inward, …
Last August, my daughter began an 18-month contract to teach English in China. I decided that this was a unique travel opportunity, so after months of planning, arrangements and probably about four grand out of my wallet, I flew to Shanghai for a week to be with her over Christmas. It was an adventure of …
There’s no limit to Nadia Vaeh’s potential. She is a fantasia of cross-platform energy. She sings, she writes, she walks in beauty like the night. On her new song, “Boomerang,” above, she teaches us that not everything is black and white. On Yoyo, below, her big hit of a few months back, she does technicolor …
Behold the latest from Derrero sent to me by Dan Amor at Cae Gwyn Records. He’s in PR mode year round now. Great Band. Great song. Great Britain. And this is a great time for Welsh music. Pay attention. The NME once described the band as being “like a young lad returning home from a …
Culture appropriation is problematic. But it’s not as problematic as young people misunderstanding it, and doing the heavy lifting for White Nationalists. Appropriation is a problem. But preventing the collaboration of cultures in infusion of new ideas because of the color of one’s skin, is the wet dream that our The Fake Left has given …
She might pass close to your route maybe once a week, a month, a year… sometime she’s so close, you can almost make out her flags; at others, she’s a flickering light in the dark distance. All you can do is keep muscle and coal on hand down in the boiler, the decks swabbed; lines …
