Mishkin Fitzgerald – Present Company
Last years Feast of Hammers album by Birdeatsbaby was an intoxicating blend of goth-chamber-pop that made for an evening of (un) easy listening. The band embarked on a successful tour of the United States, making a pit stop in Seattle where I got to hang out with the...

The Flaming Lips – The Terror

Amy Hill – Place of Mind
I have to be honest - I've always had a weak spot for female acoustic folk type music. I think it began in the early 90's with the release of the first Jewel record, Pieces of You. I bought the CD well before any of the songs were played on the radio (what a hipster...

Black Reindeer – all is good
