So last night, I went to another show. If I was to give you clues as to the show, I would probably say: 1) The performer absolutely wails on guitar. 2) The performer has probably the most pure voice you’ll ever hear. Able to leap and soar in ways uncommon in contemporary music. 3) The […]
So, it’s Tuesday, and we all know what that means… time for another Tuesday Trio! A bit of a mixed bag this week, we have a not-so-new song, a new release, and an old song. Why? Because I roll that way, and it’s what I’m listening to this morning. So, without further ado, let’s take […]
There’s a new Bon Iver video out, and it’s story is – quite frankly – inspiring. First, I think I should note that my love for all things Justin Vernon (aka Bon Iver) related is no secret. The guy’s voice, phrasing, and touching lyrics were some of the best that I heard in 2007. So […]

That said, the week is drawing to an end, and reports have been filed, so last night was a celebration. Today? Today is the morning after. So what […]
Back in the day, I used to be a pretty big Alexisonfire fan. In fact, when I’m feeling like a bit of anger is called for, I still am.
