    Know Better Learn Faster

Thirteen is a healthy quantity of tracks in a music world that under-emphasizes the LP in general. Whenever I pick up an album I first take a look at its length. Typically, a 13-track album is bound to be laced with plenty of filler. Several tracks will rise to the top while others are skip-worthy. [...]

It's been a while but here's a long over-due post in the form of a year-end compilation. It's not so much a "top picks" as a collection of sounds that proved to be good company over the past year.Firstly, for me, this was the year of Frightened Rabbit. What is it about this band? Everything they do sounds familiar - like an old friend - but at the same time it's very much its own thing. There a...

AwwwMaaaannnn, was it ever a good show at The Rhythm Room on Tuesday! Everybody did a great job and I couldn't be more proud of all parties involved, they sound was great, everything started on time and my shoes were very comfortable as well. If you went to Mesa to check out the Swell Season you probably had a good time and I am not going to say anything bad about you but I feel like you really...
