September Show Series 2017, Pt. 7: Big Thief & Palehound

After over a two-week delay, things are continuing to move. Thanks to you if you’ve been keeping track. Not much to say on this since it was rather standard. No extreme breakdowns of emotions, just really, really solid rock music. … Continue reading →

Saw this song posted on my FB today and it brought me right back to when this song came out, the summer before I started college. Definitely a song that I was blasting in my car while driving around my … Continue reading →

September Show Series 2017, Pt. 5: Mount Eerie

Posted on September 21, 2017 by Very Warm

What exactly does a devastation sound like? It can take on many forms: a quiet, bristling rejection of reality; a crushing, blistering blanket of rage; a total drainage of all feeling; a wash of hopelessness; an exodus of the self. … Continue reading →

Posted on September 20, 2017 by Very Warm

Posted on September 10, 2017 by Very Warm
