In case we hadn’t mentioned it, SXSW was dope. And what exactly was the dopest part? Body shots with Michael Stipe? Kelsey Grammer quietly singing the outro to Frasier over and over by himself at a hotel lobby piano? No and no. I think it’s safe to say that cooling out with Fab 5 Freddy was proooobably the highlight. Check it.

Blowout TONIGHT
Holy mother of invention. The Blowout is tonight.

Coupla big shows
Big coupla weeks for shows, peoples. Couldn’t help but get on the innanet and holler about it.

This is what’s happening: Dessa will be headlining the show with several hand-picked openers, and despite the venue’s limited “actual capacity” the whole thing will be streamed live via the … Read More

The whole Doomtree family will be in the house, and God willing so will you. This will … Read More

There is undoubtedly a patch of woods near your house where you can go eat mushrooms and juggle a stick, then get to sleep in your own bed. It … Read More
