Since you’ve been waiting with bated breath for this, here you go:-). Saturday rolled around which meant a fresh new day of music as well as searching for more buttons, especially the highly elusive one from New Zealand (we’re sensing a conspiracy here). The fest suffered a few cancellations that hurt the heart: UK’s Isobel Campbell and USA’s Pubes. Pubes, […]

Good day, music friends. I’m currently doing two things that I really dig: having tea and talking about music. Here’s a mini-recap of this girl’s highlights. The Friday edition of Filter Magazine’s Culture Collide music festival bore some good musical fruit to the ears despite the venue and time changes, and partner-in-crime Chelsea and I are kicking ass on the […]

Here’s their new video for “Weatherman”, a song that is a history lesson unto itself; a call to arms, a dare to sort yourself out. One thing that I know about Dead Sara is that they are a musical force to be reckoned with. Equal parts XX and XY chromosomes have never fused into quite the perfect storm that Emily […]
