    Lollapalooza- Chicago

I was always too…

  • The Music We Needed

    The Music We Needed

    At The East Room with Lily Harden, Emilio and Loose Bolts  This week has been a particularly hard one for American cohesiveness.  The former President, Donald Trump, barely dodged a bullet during a rally several days ago. Instead of banning together and realizing that violence is never the answer to resolving our conflicts we became more…

    Eastside Bowl at “The 58” 

    with Luella, Wasp Eater, and Lydia Maes I walked into Eastside Bowl not knowing exactly what I would find.  Nashville sure does like its bowling alleys to feature live music and it is wonderfully nostalgic.  I’ve been to Brooklyn Bowl a few times now in Music City and it has always been a trip.  I…

    Put Some Respect On… The B-52’s 

    I am not entirely sure why I gravitated toward this particular video. Maybe it was the glittery suits and beaded miniskirts, the commanding fits and spurts of happiness from the singer, or that boat of a Chrysler on that Atlanta highway, but I was hooked. My 10-year-old self had no idea what “Tin Roof Rustin”…

    MTV is Back! Sort of

    A look into what happened to the MTV archives online A few weeks ago, MTV was nearly wiped out online. The good stuff anyway. Journalists who spent decades writing about all thing’s music were shocked when they found out, in late June, that years of research and historical documentation was just gone. The short of…
