Show Photos: Langhorne Slim, Brooks Strause & the Gory Details, Ryan Lauder @ the Blue Moose – 12/10
My blogging catch up frenzy continues…this time with a show from last week instead of digging back into last month. Bear with me, as I am obsessively posting things before the sun has begun to rise. These three acts were well worth venturing out into a spitting wintery evening to get to the Blue Moose. […]

Show Photos: Olivia Rose Muzzy, Stephanie Rearick, Alex Body @ the Mill – 11/13
I managed to pull a double show night, hurrying my tail through the cold of the Ped Mall between sets to shoot this lovely show at the Mill, while simultaneously shooting a show at Gabe’s (Featuring Coyote Grace and Sam Knutson — see those photos here). Not to toot my own horn, but I didn’t […]

On the Beat: Hometown sound
In Everything But The Girl’s “25th December” (one of those great non-Christmas Christmas songs that end up on “indie xmas” mix tapes), Ben Watt sings about the quintessential winter feeling: regret. “I’m thirty and I don’t know nothing no more,” he whines in the way that only British people can whine, thinking about old friends, […]

The week has been cloudy and grey. The weekend will not. I will not allow it.

Show Photos: "Name Crisis", Coyote Grace, Sam Knutson – 11/13
I joined some friends at Gabe’s for a show I didn’t really know much about and I learned to always trust these particular friends’ taste in music. This was a great show (as so many of them are). Name Crisis is called such because they haven’t yet picked a name, but they have certainly solidified […]

Iowa City Weekender: November 18-21
Bundle up and get to these events. You can shake your groove thing, laugh, hear beautiful songs, see amazing things, or remember how hard it was to be 10. All of these are better ideas that sitting in your house this weekend.
