    Album Review Time

    Friday, May 8th, 2009

    Hello-Charlie here. Since it seems I can’t think of anything to write most days, I’m going to start simple and do a couple of album reviews. Sound good? Cool. Here we go.
    Woods- Songs of Shame

    I’ve been into Woods for a couple of years, I like most of their stuff, and the other bands they’re all […]

    The Problem With Promotional CDs

    Sunday, February 8th, 2009

    To begin with full disclosure, I have been reviewing CDs and writing about bands since college. I like doing it, particularly because I get free music. No denying that.
    Now I’m not a picky man. Usually the CDs I get are not the full package. This is standard practice for record companies and promotional material in […]

    The Eagle in the Woods: Department of Eagles @ Doug Fir

    Thursday, January 29th, 2009

    Living in Portland has its advantages. One of those is the beautiful Doug Fir Lounge. Located on East Burnside, the Doug Fir has a log cabin appeal, as if a fifties diner suddenly was transported to Twin Peaks.

    A giant thank you to everyone who came out to Ace in the Hole Pub tonight! The show was a great success, despite a few technical mishaps and time slot changes. It was still great. All three bands were amazing, and special thanks to Dandelion War for blowing minds despite a faulty Navi, and Horizons […]

    That new band smell: The Number Twelve Looks Like You, and you should be so lucky

    Tuesday, December 9th, 2008

    It’s that new band smell. Fresh, invigorating and slightly sweet.
    I went to see The Number Twelve Looks Like You at Slim’s in San Francisco tonight just to see if they were real. I heard one of their albums, and a couple songs on the Myspace, and thought it had to be fake. The drumming and […]

    She+Him=Swell

    Monday, March 24th, 2008

    She and Him is a good band. Listening to them is almost like I’m listening to a really good juke box in a 50s country music bar. M-Ward and Zoey Deschanelle play some fine music together. It’s not even my cup of tea, but I enjoyed every bit of their performance at the Noise […]
