“Echoes and specters and ghosts of none the wiser Apparitions each, bad decisions brush on by Envious in the ever after Electric fuzzy haze of regrets and dreams denied” ~”Telling Ghosts”, Puscifer “Life is too short not to create something with every breath you draw”, he tells us, in his own spin on sustainability.

“I’m falling away from this artificial life Omit treason cast upon thee My revelations Beginning a new life” ~”A New Beginning”, Threat Signal I’m standing outside Emo’s East kind of dreading to walk in. This would be my first time at the new Emo’s. I grew up going to 6th and Red River….I even went […]
February 12, 2012 | I spoke with Kimberly Freeman of One-Eyed Doll in her hotel room before we set off for the 54th Annual GRAMMY Awards. Topics include the state of rock music, humble beginnings of the band, what the band has coming up, and, of course, what she is wearing!
February 4, 2012 | I spoke with Free Dominguez, vocalist in industrial duo Kidneythieves, in her LA home. Topics include her musical family, show and tell of some art pieces in her living room, and her infatuation with Jung.

Even though I was running on fumes reporting on everything rock-related for the GRAMMYs, I made time to ‘keep it real’ by swinging by the Relapse Records Scion metal matinee show.

Being on the red carpet of an event as exclusive as the MusiCares Person of the Year benefit is beyond surreal. When someone you’ve known your whole life but have never seen in person or met before is standing within arm’s length, they don’t seem like real people. So I watched Alison Krauss, Bonnie Raitt, […]
This being my third year covering GRAMMY week, one of my favorite events is the Social Media Rock Star Summit. It feels very contemporary, and gives me a hint of optimism for the future of the music industry. This year’s summit would focus on how musicians monetize through social, mobile, and gaming. The panelists included […]
