  • 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…

    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…

    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,…

    The DOJ vs. The Ticketmonster 

    I’ve officially hit my “Old Man Phase”, as I find myself muttering “I remember when…” a lot more than I used to. I’ll be turning fifty in less than two months and a few things have changed about my concert going experiences. For instance, I like sitting down more than a mosh pit. That’s not…

  • Friendship Commanders with The Jesus Lizard 

    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. …
