" He has now teamed up with designer-turned-drummer Moselle Spiller and formed the blues/garage rock band Boom Chick. At just one year old, Boom Chick's first year was packed with countless sweaty loft parties, constant creation in the [...]

frank hoier reminds me of what bright eyes would be without all the drugs, self indulgence, and unnecessary dirt. unlike o'berst, there's a certain sobriety to his writing. he's not just shitting out talent indiscriminately with no real focus or discipline. his ideas are actually coherent... allowing him to form insight that's more refined than ...

One album that I immediately latched onto this week is Longwave's Secrets are Sinister . I was heavily into their debut way back in 2003, and since then, I pretty much lost track of them. I think they released only one other album since their debut, but I gave the new material a listen, and they still haven't changed at all. Very much a good thing. I'm also really digging the new record from Love is All , of course, as i've been waiting for this one for a very long [...]

The best man isn't going to win without your vote, and I'm not hiding who I think the best man is. And Californians: please vote NO on Prop 8. The purpose of the state constitution is not to tell people what they can't do with their personal lives. I know Frank Hoier is an Obama supporter too. He thanked me personally for putting "Jesus Don't Give Tax Breaks to the Rich" in my Time For Change post a couple of weeks ago. I have become a big fan of his [...]

There's nothing like a good protest song. There are plenty such songs—heck, whole bands, that just aren't any fun. They take themselves so seriously and make music for people with no sense of humor or joie de vivre . That ain't me, 'coz I get the joie , baby! So does Frank Hoier. I bet if he watched the U.S. Vice Presidential debate last night, he started strumming "Jesus Don't Give Tax Breaks to the Rich" about halfway through. And I bet if his bandmates the Weber Brothers were there with him, they started strumming and picking right [...]
