Experience the Harmony: Cotati Accordion Festival '25 I bring you news so delightful, so harmonically intriguing, it may cause a gentle tapping of the feet and an overwhelming desire to perhaps learn a new folk dance at dusk. The gathering, dear friends –The Cotati Accordion Festival 2025– is nearly upon us. A sonic celebration is about to bloom in Cotati, a heartfelt ode to bellows, buttons, and buoyant melodies. I […]
Desert Dissonance: Dance Gavin Dance Brooklyn Bowl Las Vegas, NV (6/21/25) Oh, Las Vegas– equal parts questionable decisions and dazzling possibilities. And on this particular desert eve, our particularly potent pre-show espresso pointed me directly to the heart of the LINQ district, a place so delightfully, almost aggressively, pleasant it felt like a theme park for grown-ups who still enjoy the occasional novelty oversized cocktail. Brooklyn Bowl, nestled comfortably beside […]
Twenty Years of Apple Podcasts: Love the Ear A Special Commemorative Dispatch Bewildered brethren of the airwaves! Gather ‘round, pour yourselves a rather potent, ethically ambiguous beverage, and prepare to confront a truth as blinding as a desert sunrise after a three-day bender: it’s been two decades since Apple, in its infinite, gleaming wisdom, unleashed a digital audio Pandora’s Box upon an unsuspecting world. Yes, I speak, of course, […]
An Aural Anomaly – "Stereo Image" with Mike Jones The airwaves typically offer a predictable hum, a digital anesthesia for the masses. But the "Stereo Image," unleashes a disruptive force in audio. This show doesn't float on platitudes; it digs into the concrete. Its conductor, Mike Jones—or Jonesy, as his loyal devotees know him—drives piercing curiosity and gloriously unvarnished wit. Forget polite applause; prepare for the unexpected symphony of human […]
Algorithms & Anthems: Outside Lands' Upscale Uprising Outside Lands. Another year, another glorious, sprawling, slightly damp… event. Once upon a time, you might’ve muttered something about muddy fields, questionable portaloos, and the faint whiff of patchouli clinging to the air like a stubborn San Francisco fog. Now? Now we’re talking about the Golden Gate Club. The Golden Gate Club. Sounds less like a defiant howl into the wind and more […]
Trumpets, Terrors, & the Talkless Tale of LOUIS Ladies and gentlemen, gather 'round the Victrola — or, for you modernist maniacs, swipe open whatever luminescent slab you carry in your pocket — for I bring you news so thrilling, so synesthetic in scope, it may cause a mild trembling of the knees and an overwhelming desire to drink absinthe at noon. The tour, dear listeners — THE TOUR — is […]
Portals of Possibility: Peering into Universal's Phenomenal New Park!” Universal has, with perhaps admirable, if somewhat noisy, ambition, presented what they term an "immense multi-theme park", touted as one of the "biggest new theme parks that's been made in a long time". The latest monolithic offering from the Universal entity. This "Epic Universe", you see, is presented as an "immense multi-theme park", heralded, somewhat breathlessly, as "one of the biggest […]
Salt Lake City's Dry Spell Gets a Repeal Salt Lake City. A place, let's be frank, that conjures images of… well, let's just say the nightlife expectations might typically involve a vigorous game of charades followed by an early night with a lukewarm herbal infusion. One pictures a certain… orthodoxy when it comes to leisure pursuits. A landscape, shall we say, less associated with the clinking of cocktail shakers and […]
SWA Goes DIY – Kinda Sorta Southwest Airlines. A veritable labyrinth of contradictions, a delightful tangle of upcycled leather and potential baggage fees. Perhaps Southwest Airlines isn't orchestrating a masterclass in publicity. Perhaps, instead, they're simply… trying things. Trying to balance the books, trying to appease shareholders, trying to appear socially conscious, and yes, perhaps, genuinely trying to do a bit of good. The "Repurpose with Purpose" initiative, then, might […]
