CRAP. It’s already Friday. How does that happen? First it’s Sunday and we’re totally ill on the prospect of the return to the punch-card pay-clock, but atleast you’ve got some decent work and a stack of records to write, and then the next thing you know BAM. Friday. And like, [...]

We just got a note on the DL that tonight’s Free Press Recession Thursday Show at Numbers has been canceled due to “one band calling in sick and another one breaking up.”  Bummer.  Double bummer because Something Fierce was going to play their set in the tiny upstairs room, which is MAYHEM like MILES.  We [...]

(YUSS - TWO FOR TUESDAY REVIEWS!) Sometimes we are concerned that people misinterpret our affinity for the cover song. It’s true, whenever we are able to point one out (or organize a ten band festival where people play nothing but them) we seem to take the opportunity to do so. It’s not [...]

There is a moment, a point in your time-line, where self-objectivity and the theory of cool split and you’re forced to make a choice about it.  Usually, this has something to do with the Odyssey of the Mind.  The further back in your personal narrative you go, the harder it is to have any real [...]
