  • Review: Ryley Walker’s “Sweet Satisfaction”

    March 31, 2015 /

      When I typed Ryley Walker’s name into Google for a little context before writing this review, the first thing that came up was an NPR Music writeup about Walker’s latest album, Primrose Green. Its author praises Walker’s use of acoustic-electric guitar riffs to create an unplugged sound that’s more punk rock than coffee shop. He undoubtedly likes Walker’s sound. As a public radio fangirl, I am generally inclined to agree with NPR. As a human being with functioning ears, I am most definitely inclined to really like this song. There are thousands of talented, acoustic guitar-toting singer-songwriters out there, but to be perfectly frank, a great many of them…

  • Iron and Wine: A Glimpse into the Past and the Future

    March 30, 2015 /

      It’s a refreshing insight into a musician’s growth as an artist and human being when you go back and listen to some of their first recordings. We’re blessed to experience Samuel Beam’s, aka Iron and Wine’s, first musings of what was to become a long and fruitful music career with the release of the Iron and Wine Archives Series Volume No. 1; a collection of songs recorded roughly around the same time as his first album The Creek Drank the Cradle, released in 2002. There is a hum of static that flickers quietly in the corners of the four track cassette recordings like a candle in a cabin at…

  • No You Can’t Have This Track: Grimes – REALiTi

    March 27, 2015 /

      In case you haven’t heard yet, Grimes’ most recent album was scrapped. Yes, the one with ‘Go’ on it. When asked why, Grimes told that the album just felt “depressing”, though I think it may have had more to do with bad reaction to the single ‘Go’ featuring Blood Diamonds. While not a bad song, ‘Go’ seemed to give off the feeling that any relevant electronic artist could have created the track. It had the Grimes feel, but not enough of it. Even though she scrapped it, we’ve been fortunate to hear more from the ‘lost’ album. ‘REALiTi’ does that which ‘Go’ did not. It has a classic Grimes…

    March 26, 2015 /

    Initiated by Emily Bell, EMILY VS BEAR is a slow fashion movement meant to help sustain and localize fashion threads within the United States. Rather than spend hundreds of dollars on products based in China or elsewhere outside of the country, Emily Bell would rather be creating her own sustainable and quality products. EMILY VS BEAR strives to use natural materials in their clothes which are designed to keep your wardrobe alive and not harm the environment, and “has every intention of becoming one of those leading brands and setting an example of what a responsible business should be doing.” Their brand aims to create a “culture and mentality for…

        First thingʼs first, have you had a chance to check out the McDonaldʼs food truck? I heard something about how they were trying to get people to play for free and that they didnʼt have a budget to pay anyone. Thatʼs insane.   Like the Taco Bell food truck wasnʼt insulting enough. Right.   A lot of your recordings seem to have taken place in very isolated pristine and pure conditions like Colorado. How do you cope with that experience to the polar opposite conditions of playing to a hectic consumerist environment like SXSW? Recording in places like home in Colorado or Portland gives us the mental space…

      Killer Garage Punk band “The Rashita Joneses” (Milwaukee,WI) well known for their love of every thing loud and trashy, are tearing up the scene after just dropping their debut s/t EP this March. Sporting locally drawn cover art the EP screams lo-fi through the gnarly, sketchy creation by artist Jacqueline Joyce (www.jaquelinejoyce.com). Recorded DIY in the unfinished basement of (drummer) Shamus’es home in Milwaukee,WI  the 4 track banger was released March 10th 2015. Punk, psychadelic, grunge? Featuring their single “Mosquito” as the first track the EP holds a raw nature all to ready to be called any of these things. The gnarly single off the EP has people chillin and rockin all at the same time,…

Not only is this mag about love, hate, sex, and relationships (stuff we can all relate to), but it is also being handmade for you as a BOOK! That’s right – you’re getting a full book out of us this time around. So, understandably, the price reflects the costs of printing and materials for binding. Because the price is a bit higher than we normally charge, we are ONLY charging what it costs to make (and ship) these books! Nothing extra. So buy this…

  • Babbling April: A Record Full of Drive and Nostalgia

    March 6, 2015 /

      Upon listening to Babbling April’s self-titled EP, I couldn’t help but immediately play it through once again after the album had ended. Babbling April’s infectious indie-pop-meets-shoegaze ambience takes the listener for a blissful whirlwind of unique sound and euphoric nostalgia. Stemming from Dayton, Ohio, the band meticulously blends in aspects of building soundscapes, energetic drum beats and soaring vocals, and mellow instrumentation.   Babbling April’s first single off their EP, “Sunny Day Records”, stirs up memories of carefree days in weather turned warmer, an anthemic toast to young lovers everywhere. Says Dave New of “Sunny Day Records”, “[t]he song is inherently nostalgic, a memory of the excitement of feeling…

It comes and goes, but it doesn’t pour out of me daily. I think I am most inspired when I am shooting in the moment, or if I am in love with something, or i come across a foreign film.      Best Experience(s):   Probably shooting out of country for the first time since taking photography more…
