Gone Country? Blaine Larsen at Hard Rock Cafe, Seattle

As most of you know, I am open-minded and have and will cover just about any type of show, but I’ve never covered country music.  The reason for that is having a father who loved, loved, loved Lester Flat & Earl Scruggs, so I had my fill of country music before I was even a […]

Let’s Get Lost - Stirring New CD - Rotten Apples

I’m not talking about being direction challenged, nor films, or even Jimmy McHugh & Chet Baker, I’m talking about the charming, indie band Let’s Get Lost with frontmen and songwriting duo Nick Shadel (piano/vocals) and Peter Kowalczyk (guitar/vocals) (fka The Bedouin Jacks), now +/- a few, who had their swanky masquerade CD release party at […]

Twenty Ten

Lots of great music out there people.   I hope to be getting a few things together for you in the very near future - for starters, hopefully a bit about Rishloo and also something about Let’s Get Lost (fka The Bedouin Jacks).  Yahoooooo! Scarlet Room has some potential and I know many folks are looking […]

The Best of the Best

Last year was a fabulous year in many ways especially in music.  There was so much fabulous music it was hard for me to come up with a list like I usually do.  So much, in fact, and so many things going on, that my list never was finished.  I do apologize.
In 2009, I lost […]

Benjamin Doerr - Midwestern transplant becomes local musical genius

 Benjamin Doerr said, “It wasn’t until partway through my sixth grade year that I happened upon my grandmother’s old guitar.  I remember picking it up and wishing more than anything that I could make it sound good.”  Lucky for us he did.
His passion for life and music comes through loud and clear in both his […]

Keeping Austin Weird

Well, folks - I just got back from Austin, Texas. When I landed at the airport, I thought for sure I’d see Cowboy Central but I only saw three cowboys in total (one of which was my boyfriend - ha!).  What I did see were sleeve tattoos, dreads, counterculture clothing and hair.  I was impressed […]

The Definitive Serge Gainsbourg

Today, for the first time in the US, French icon Serge Gainsbourg’s incomparable legendary 1971 album, Histoire de Melody Nelson, is being released on Seattle’s own Light in the Attic.   The clever spoken French over orchestral movements woven together with that endearing early 7o’s sound, made this album Gold back in the day and […]
