Original Artwork, Joseph Arthur 2008 This past Friday night, we went to go see Joseph Arthur play a solo show at the best music venue in San Francisco, Great American Music Hall.

He ran through such classics as Speed Of Light, Birthday Card, In The Sun, and a slowed down version of Honey [...]

We are probably leaving some great bands out, but we tried our best. So sit back, pop a Boh, eat some crabs, turn on the O's [...]

For those unacquainted, think avant garde fraternity house without all of that macho homophobic bullshit. That's the idea. Joined by acts like [...]
