    My intro to Nicole Atkins

    Nicole Atkins has evaded me all these years, but thanks to a friend pointing me to her latest release earlier this year (Italian Ice), and the last 24 hours of deep diving into her music, I am on board. Her…

    Christopher Owens – Nothing More Than Everything To Me

    I’ll admit to being slightly underwhelmed by Christopher Owens’ debut solo album, Lysandre, released a year and a half ago after his disbanding of the amazing band Girls. Yeah, it had its standout moments (“New York City” being my favorite),…

    The Stone: The Return of André Cymone

    If you were ever sucked into the Prince vortex, as I was in 1984, you quickly found yourself seeking out every last morsel of musical goodness from anything Prince-related. In the mid-80’s, that meant marching into your local record store…

    New from Brett Dennen: “Wild Child”

    First of all – wait, what? – Brett Dennen is 6’5″ tall? I. Did. Not. Know. That.Second of all, I need to remind myself not to get sucked into the hateful rabbit hole of YouTube/internet comments as I did recently…

    Christopher Owens’ new album, Lysandre (and a giveaway)

    “Don’t try to get me down. Don’t try to harsh my mellow, man!” Because after multiple listens over the last 24 hours, the short & sweet Lysandre album, brand new from former Girls frontman Christopher Owens, is doing the trick.…

    Christopher Owens announces ‘Lysandre’

    Christopher Owens, the heart, mind, body and soul behind San Francisco’s Girls, decided to leave (and effectively disssolve) the group back in July with an announcement on Twitter (One, Two, and Three). Thankfully, the creative juices are still flowing, and…

    Grandaddy live at the Independent in San Francisco (8-12-2012)

    One of may favorite bands from the 90’s and early 2000’s days of yore is Grandaddy. I consider The Sophtware Slump to be a masterpiece with its futuristic space-pop, bleepy, bloopy and utterly beautiful vibe. After a 6 year hiatus,…

    “Carolina” and a growing obsession over Girls

    God, have I fallen hard for this band. There’s some sort of musical synergy that I share with Girls singer/songwriter Christopher Owens. The three Girls albums (2 full lengths and an EP) are played regularly, and every listen is more…

    Girls! Father, Son, Holy Ghost

    Sometimes an album comes along that covers you like a warm blanket. There’s no rhyme or reason to it really, it just feels right. You carry it around with you, playing it every chance you get. It’s not just a…

    Cults at ACL

    I couldn’t make it to ACL this past weekend, but thanks to the Youtube webcast, I caught a number of acts from the comfort of my office chair. One of the bands new to me was Cults, who performed on…
