Tweet Spring is here with new beginnings, new music, and fresh starts. I’ve been slaving over tweets, blogs, e-mails, and iTunes finding incredible new tunes to happily dance in your ears. As my bank account drains from too many concert tickets and downloading music like a fool, I’m convinced it’s totally necessary to bring peace [...]
Tweet Seattle is beckoning me to make a pilgrimage out west. One of the main reasons is the enchantment of Seattle-based band Handful of Luvin’. Described on their website as “A rock quartet featuring a rocking classically trained violinist, Handful refers to their music as “fiddle driven roots rock,” and their cheerful blend of folk-rock, [...]

Tweet The first time I heard the song “Darlin’ I,” I thought I had been punched out. It’s the quintessential driving song courtesy of touring singer/songwriter Tony Lucca. After putting the song on a Mix CD (yes, I still make them) for my girlfriend, Amanda Brown, here’s how the conversation went: AB: OMG. Just heard that Tony Lucca [...]
Tweet It’s no secret that rock stars get laid. Some of the fugliest dudes can get some serious hot chicks…and I promise you, it’s not because of their milk-and-cookies wholesome personality (see Hot Chicks with Douchebags - they might not be rock stars but it’s pretty damn funny). It usually has something to do with a microphone, tight pants, and a guitar. [...]
Tweet I was Christine Daae when I was Fifteen Years Old. When I discovered my favorite play, Phantom of the Opera, I would belt the leading lady’s high notes with gusto (I’m SURE my voice was just as amazing, too) and I was cast under the Phantom’s hypnotic spell. Oh wait…no, I wasn’t on stage, but I wished I was. [...]
Tweet Drive-bys, Facebook stalking, inappropriate sobbing, therapy-inducing self-doubt, random rebound hook-ups, break-ins, drunk texting, embarassing pleas begging to get back together…oy vay! Break-ups will make you go from Zero –> Crazy in no time flat. Not that I would EVER do such things (ahem!) but you get the point. We’ve all done ridiculously embarassing things to kill the pain of [...]
Tweet Me do a review for Gareth’s new CD? Since I’ve interviewed Gareth Asher and mentioned him here and here and here – I have as much credibility as Justin Bieber recommending Usher‘s latest drop. Yup, I just compared myself to Justin Bieber. Anyway, It’s been three years since Gareth Asher’s last album I Am The Earth, so [...]
Tweet “No one follows someone who sits on the sidelines. Never.” -Bob Lefsetz I woke up this morning to find this phrase in my e-mail inbox, courtesy of Bob Lefsetz e-mail subscription. Popular musical ranter, Bob Lefsetz’ blog was recommended to me by social media/music business mastermind, Tony Caporale. This particular phrase hit home. Let me explain [...]
Tweet I can’t say I’ve often wondered what Darth Vader’s dreams sound like – but after marinating on indie-pop band Slow Runner’s tagline for their new EP Ghost Rendition announcement video, (Ghost Rendition: It Sounds Like Darth Vader’s Dreams, I’m thinking maybe Darth Vader’s musical tastes lean toward the ”lyrical pop music shot out into space“ variety. Paste Magazine honored Slow Runner as [...]
Tweet It is indeed Oscar season. As I prep to watch the Red Carpet Arrivals and expertly judge the outfits of America’s glorified royalty (read: actors), I’m thinking about awards and what makes somebody good enough to be chosen to win. About a week ago, I noticed that my home boy, Gareth Asher had posted news [...]
