Look at this local line-up? This [...]
I'm an anthropologist who happens to blog about music, and often that translates over into my writing. The occasional scientific word slips in here and there, and if ever I stage an argument (which is, admittedly, scarcely seen) it's usually tackled with objective posturing. Beer drinkers have beer goggles. I have culture goggles. [...]

It's not every day that a daily stroll along Lake Superior turns crime discovery, but for Melismatics guitarist PONY, just that may have occurred. In a March 18 blog post on the band's myspace site, the series of events was unfolded. While on a sojourn in Marquette, MI, PONY decided to take a breather from [...]

Oh, yeh, I've still got some SXSW bands still to post. I just don't know how you're taking to the whole SXSW gig I've been doing and don't want to overdo it.

The Hedrons are not covering AC/DC here, but that's okay, they're sufficiently hot. As for Oxford Collapse , I don't often go for the amusical hyperscreech so beloved of many [...]
