First Aid Kit / When I Grow Up

First Aid Kit. The best thing to happen to female vocals in 2009. (They started earlier, but they weren’t born into my itunes until 2009). Harmony, farms, cozy sweaters, girls you want to know, women you assume know how to … Continue reading

Elbow / Grounds For Divorce

I recently made the move from California to Amsterdam. Work brought me here, the canals, the people, my office and the experience are keeping me here. In moments of disrupt, isolation and uninvited buoyancy, music sheds light on a sliver … Continue reading

Pearl Jam / Rearview Mirror

I bow down to one of the bands that helped define my teenage angst, energy and excitement – and also carved out a hefty portion of my Oregon soundtrack. Pearl Jam – still as cool as the first time I … Continue reading

We Barbarians / There’s This There’s That

I dig We Barbarians. This song is so chunky, thick and rocky. I like. If you’re a runner, you’re going to want to add them to your playlist. We Barbarians recently released their EP “Headspace.” Which is all sorts of … Continue reading
