I never have trouble falling asleep. I’d say it takes between 1 - 3 billionths of a second for me to completely knock out. It’s truly a gift and I love it. Once I commit, I can be peacefully slumbering anywhere I choose. I can even wield it during [...]
INTRODUCING YOU TO BANDS YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW, BUT TOTALLY SHOULD. Songhoy Blues I wish that I knew what Songhoy Blues was singing about given their background and the struggles that formed the band in the first place. You would think that a group of Northern Mali refugees driven to [...]
Let’s face it. Every kid in the 3-7 year-old range sound pretty much exactly the same when they get hurt. That high pitched squeal of exaggerated pain emanating from the most fragile princess of a 3 year old girl, is almost indistinguishable from the sound blaring from your rough and [...]
INTRODUCING YOU TO BANDS YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW, BUT TOTALLY SHOULD. Angel Olsen Why’d it take me as long as it did to really dive into Angel Olsen for Playlist Elevated? I’m just glad that I knew enough of her songs to explore the remainder of her work when I [...]
Super Heroes seem to be everywhere these days.

The Derevolutions My second music article this week features The Derevolutions who were actually going to be my first choice, as I wanted something more upbeat and exciting to the occasional gloom and heavy handedness of the excellent [...]
INTRODUCING YOU TO BANDS YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW, BUT TOTALLY SHOULD. Rainbow Kitten Surprise I was stuck choosing between two bands this week and threatened with an abolishment of friendship were I not to choose Rainbow Kitten Surprise over The Derevolutions this week. How do I reconcile what I wanted [...]
INTRODUCING YOU TO BANDS YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW, BUT TOTALLY SHOULD. Modest Mouse I am always surprised at how many people don’t know the excellent band Modest Mouse. Most don’t realize who they are, despite probably being able to recognize some tunes from 2004’s breakout album “Good News For [...]
INTRODUCING YOU TO BANDS YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW, BUT TOTALLY SHOULD. Electric President I suppose doing this week’s article on Electric President is sort of cheating since I’ve already covered Ben Cooper’s other project “Radical Face”. But if you’re as big of a fan of his poetry and music as [...]
