Re-doing my post on Weaponized Flesh because I am very excited to see my drawing printed on their t-shirts, fresh off the press this week!! If I can tout myself as the number 1 fan of any band, this is the one! I suggested their name, I drew their logo, I drew the hyena cover […]
I saw Master Musicians of Bukkake (yeah, try forgetting that name) for the first time last month. Ian had been singing their praises for awhile and he was right: it was a mind-blowing experience. At that show, the stage was flooded with an eerie blue fog. The songs were hypnotic and they ended with a […]
I cleansed myself of Saturday’s club beatz with some Sunday METAL. Fuzzy and fog-filled phone photos: Not a show I’d usually check out but I’m glad I did- it was great and super fun to see with Ian. Sandrider went right into a flurry of intense, high energy jams. And So I Watch You From […]
Anne Wood, Ana da Silva, and Gina Birch… a couple Saturdays ago. Eric was nice enough to snap a photo from his much higher height. Even with the guy behind us passing out and getting carted away, this show felt kind of like an intimate party. Very warm and jokey. The loudest cheers to the […]
On Sunday, we caught Gemsbok’s first show! That’s Ajax singing- this was his birthday party btw- and that’s our friend Ian on guitar. The band played unbelievably well together and I’m pretty sure everyone there had a great time. (Haha, I had my earplugs in like a dweeb. It was even louder and more intense […]
Oh man, I had a great time at Bumbershoot this year! Sure, I scowled at a couple teenagers (like the aging curmudgeon I am…) but I have no real complaints. My pass was gratis, the lineup was awesome (I caught about a dozen bands, then a comedy bit), and there was plenty of time to […]
Dean likes to tease that he can predict every song I’m going to play right before I play it. Well, fair enough. I’ve definitely been stuck on the same bands all summer- they just fit. :) You can listen to my mix on 8tracks. Other 8tracks mixes I love: Eric’s ‘Places to Go‘ Nate’s ‘Sushi, […]
More old fan art: a couple illustrated music reviews I did for my university paper, The Stony Brook Press around 2004 and 2006. Oh, nostalgia… (minor regret: using a computer to fill in quickly. Boo, laziness!) Graham Coxon’s solo work isn’t perfect but his seven albums try a lot of things and are peppered with […]
