    BEAR SOUNDS 

    A rundown of the Music that Drives The Bear  This piece is about the television show “The Bear” on Hulu, but right up front I want to say there are no spoiler alerts in here.  I am only going to explore the musical score of this brilliant series without giving away any pivotal moments within…

    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…

    Package Pt.2 Delivers 

    A review of the new record from Gustaf  I’m so glad that a friend at a little watering hole and pizza joint in Seattle, called Big Mario’s, once uttered the question, “Have you heard of Gustaf? I think you’d like them”. I believe I responded with, “I don’t listen to a lot of Russian bands,…

    Friendship Commanders with The Jesus Lizard 

    At The Blue Room  It’s Thursday and another school night for this dude, but the music calls me out into the darkness once again.  It sounds a lot like a vampire novel is about to be penned here. It some sense my life sometimes feels like that.  It’s like my day job is just me…

    Pixies With Modest Mouse at Ascend Theater 

    June 2, 2024  I have waited 33 years to see the Pixies for a second time.  I saw them in 1991 at The Beechum Theater in Orlando, FL. Back then I took a lot of enhancements and don’t remember much of the show, so this time I promised myself that I would be completely sober. …
