I’ve had a friend that for years has been painting portraits I rather coveted. One day she finally said she was going to start selling them. Molly’s birthday was coming up so I immediately requested her versions of Billie Holiday and Holly Golightly.
Today I went to a show of her’s at the Sometime Gallery and [...]

The Bay Guardian just
ran an article about my old friend Tom Price. The article was supposed to be about the free solar grid he worked to install in Gerlach, Nevada and his new solar endeavor, but since Tom has literally done A METRIC F*CK TON of really deep, purposeful stuff in the last 5 years, [...]

The videos on YouTube are low-res and aurally demanding, but give it a second and [...]

Eddie saved me from a needless night on the couch, a couple week ago.
Instead I got to see the animatronic melodic absurdness of Captured By Robots just roll-down-the-hill block at Bottom of my the Hill
What the “band” lacks in music writing genius, they make up for with mad, mad genius. (I’m not repeating the word [...]
