Ya’ll need to check out my friend Metahuman… He is a multidisciplinary artist that I’ve been wanting to introduce on here for awhile. Finally I got around to chatting with him about it and we put together a little interview/essay and got some tracks. Besides music, he puts on Trans/Giving, which is a film festival [...]

Museum of Bellas Artes “I wanna know, I wanna know…”(Interview!)
Museum of Bellas Artes Sometimes songs appear out of nowhere in this magical age of the internet. Quite often these songs have no back story and often even when followed up up on, these songs, usually by very young and newly formed bands, still remain a bit of a mystery, since there really isn’t all [...]
The official Jonas Brothers “coming out” video
It’s official! The Jonas Brothers are gay. And not just gay – but the extremely tacky cliche gay that I had thought/hoped was dead. I mean really… They pose as virginal Christians then all of a sudden confess their love of Calvin Klein nude underwear ads. And Demi Lovato makes it loud and clear that [...]
Seaspin: spin spin spin and yes keep spinning!
Seaspin opened for the excellent Telefone Tel Aviv show I saw and reported on a few weeks back. Drawing largely from the shoegaze movement, Seaspin, writes very whimsical melodies that are thrusted into guitar heavy “walls of sound”. Growing up on the beach in bright and sunny Southern California, I still managed to wear lots [...]
A Not So “Guilty Love” : Soft Spot Live @ Northeast Kingdom, Brooklyn, October 12th!!!(and other places to follow…)
I am not an traditionally spiritual person. I know however, that in many aspects of my life I’m very blessed. I’m blessed so much in some categories, that I sometimes take things for granted, or fall short of realizing just how important and special they are. You can’t live in New York City without having [...]

Arthur Russell “A Little Lost” Video Adaptation
I’m in love with the music created by the late but always great Arthur Russell. Today I found this video on youtube and thought it was fantastic so I’m sharing. This is an unofficial video. It’s made with an excerpt of the animation ‘Girl And Dolphin’ by R .Zelma. The song is from the album [...]
Fever Ray: Caught a Glimpse Now it Haunts Me
Like everyone else that is obsessed with “seeing” “knowing” “experiencing” the latest trends in music, I sheepishly went to the Fever Ray show at the Henry Fonda Theater in Los Angeles. I became a fan of The Knife two years before they got big, I’m talking 2004 here, I was in my friends car and [...]
Bon Iver All Wrapped Up In Fog : The Sunrise Show At Hollywood Forever Cemetary
We have all most likely come to the conclusion (those of us who are somewhat sensible and experienced anyhow) that out of all the bands that we see play in our lifetimes, we will only remember a handful of them. Of those shows that we will remember, probably about half of them will remain stuck [...]
