Meet the Shook Twins, Laurie and Katelyn of Sandpoint, Idaho. Looking like identical Earth daughters, ridiculously talented, and making indie folk with just enough quirk to not be annoying.

Yep. Check the […]

I’ve been doing most of my ranting and raving on Philthy (http://blog.philthy.us/blog/) however, now that High Voltage is re-launching I am diving back into the loop.
