About Me

I am an indie music enthusiast who wants the world to know how great indie music can be. Whether you're sitting alone with a guitar playing originals on YouTube or slugging it out gigging to get your name out, you're my kind of people. The eyes of the world will be on Vancouver in 2010. Let's get their ears here first, otherwise the Olympics will just be one big corporate circle jerk (in the music as well...heh). Music journalism has degraded to the point of merely updating the social registry with the latest thing someone has done, not played. I'm not here to write about celebrity. I want to write about the music I love and those who love to play it. "ars longa, vita brevis"

The Last One Standing

F*ck me... what time is it?

When it is 2:34 on a Tuesday morning and you are still awake, one of two things is probably happening: either you're getting fucked or you are fucked. When I suddenly woke up around 2:15 and wondered,...
