I’m back with part two recap of shows I saw from 2005-2009. When I started to write this, I realized, crap, I’m not going to see many artists but I’m seeing the artists I really really like now. I mostly find out about bands through WOXY.com or friends. When the Sasquatch Festival announced their 2005 [...] [...more]
Guess what I checked off my bucket list? I mean, did you even have to guess? Here are a few gems from the show … Full post to come –It’s more for me than you so you don’t have to read it. [...more]

If there were three people you could meet … who would they be? Without any question, I would rattle off Bono, Jeff Tweedy and Thom Yorke. If you would ask my co-workers what gets me animated it would be stretched logos, LOST and Wilco. Wilco is not my favorite band. Wilco is my third favorite [...] [...more]
