When I was in high school my friend’s dad worked for a record company and we saw some great concerts, all while I imagine he was smoking joints backstage with the bands and perhaps fondling some groupies. While I’m jealous of that, it did enable me to get great seats and a ride to some […]

Smashing Pumpkins, Alice in Chains, Screaming Trees & Jimi

I loved Singles. It actually got me my first girlfriend. She was gorgeous, way out of my league — especially since I was a long-haired hesher. But while watching Singles she — being a fairly conservative girl from the Midwest — realized that one could actually date a guy with long hair and listened to […]

The inimitable fashion of Victor Wilde and The Bohemian Society

We’ve been following Victor Wilde’s work for awhile now, mostly because he’s not one of those dudes that just talks a lot of game and then never delivers — he’s a true out hustler.

WARNING: RAMBLING TIRADE FROM A 37-YEAR OLD TECHNOPHOBE BELOW

I’ve had mad respect for Josh Davis, aka DJ Shadow, since I first heard Endtroducing at my friend Rodney’s place and the sky opened up before me, the clouds parted, and a ray of sun shown through directly illuminating my ears and eyes. It was almost an epiphany, and I’m not being hyperbolic. Then in […]
