After years as a home-recording outfit, We/Or/Me (which is mostly Bahhaj Taherzadeh) is making its first studio-based record. I highly recommend donating some $, because the music is awesome and it is great to support independent artists. Make sure good…
Tonight I felt alive for a moment, a rush of adrenaline as one of my closest friends and I drove down 94 with the windows down, singing along to the radio at the top of our lungs. It is a…
Right now, Gotye is perfect. 3 years ago, my favorite song was Hearts A Mess. Now it applies again, but with the added bonus of some new songs to wallow in. Gotye – Somebody That I Used to Know Cover…
I’ve been immersed in some pretty amazing music recently . If you want to know the playlist running through my head, here ya go! Jonsi, the lead singer of Sigur Rós, put on a fantastic live show on April 27…
I had the opportunity to volunteer at the 4th Annual Baha’i Choral Music Festival in May. It was wonderful to see so many people at the House of Worship. I was manning the main entrance for both performances, so I…
Last night I went to the Delorean & Miike Snow show at the Metro. It was fantastic. I enjoyed myself immensely. It was pouring rain when we parked and went in, my feet were aching at the end of the…

The illustrious Sarah Lonning has a presence on the web. Be impressed. Navid shares music, often with commentary. Brilliant. I’ve been enjoying it very much. That odd fellow known as David Precht launched his site a while ago, and it…
The instructions are simple: choose your eleven favorite musical artists, then your favorite song by each, and provide a link (YouTube if possible) so the world can share in the crème de la crème of your musical tastes. This list…
A cockroach crawled up my jeans leg while I sat at a bus stop yesterday. I had to shake it out…it was about as long as my index finger and quite…wriggly. Not so much fun. Also, I had an entire…
I listen to music almost constantly…and I have been wanting to give people a glimpse of the soundtrack to my life. You know, the music that would accompany you if you were in a movie, walking briskly down the street….
I went with a friend to see Live at The Vic on Tuesday night. Amazing. I must start by saying that Live has been one of my favorite bands for at least the last 8 years. I’ve never seen them…
