Marilyn Manson – We Are Chaos
In the summer of 2019, I attended an in store performance at a famous record store in West Seattle. The artist was someone who had deep roots in the early 80’s Seattle punk scene but eventually made his name with a notorious hard rock band out of Los Angeles, CA. This...
The Flaming Lips – American Head
I have a long history with The Flaming Lips dating back to the late 90’s shows in support of their 1st masterpiece, The Soft Bulletin. I’d previously written them off, firmly convinced they weren’t cool. What can I say, I was pretty damn snobby in my youth. I was...

Johnny Marr – Upstarts b/w Psychic Beginner
Stop me if you think that you've heard this one before - guitarist from an adored band that is still immensely popular 25 years after the breakup releases solo record. You might think I'm talking about the exploits of Slash from Guns n' Roses, but I'm not - I'm...

Various Artists – Distant Drums (tribute to Simon Worrall of the Paris Angels)
Compilation albums have always been a tough sell with me. Typically I hone in on a few acts that grab me - buy everything by those bands, and forget all about the compilation. There have been a few exceptions over the years - the Factory records box set, the Left of...

Part 42 of a series that will run the last Friday of each month throughout 2013 as I discuss records that have affected me throughout the years – Flashback Fridays The mid 90's were a glorious time to be a music junkie. The Britpop era was in full force and it seemed...

Martin Rossiter – The Defenestration of St. Martin
It has been said that "beauty in distress is the most affecting beauty". It has also been said that "the soul that sees beauty may sometimes walk alone". Both statements appeal to my inner sense of beauty, though they do not necessarily accurately convey my personal...

New Order – Lost Sirens
Families can be curious things, can't they? One minute family members are fighting, swearing never to deal with each other again - the next, they are vowing to always be there for each other. I tend to think of New Order in those terms - off and on fighting throughout...
The Sixth Great Lake – Up the Country

Vancouver – July’s Tapes
I've been to Vancouver, B.C. about a dozen times over the years (maybe more). People not from the Pacific Northwest may look at the close proximity of Seattle, WA and think "There can't be that much of a difference.". They'd be wrong. Dead wrong. Once you cross over...
