Now Podcasting :: Episode 13
Here is this week’s show recorded a couple of days ago at the Little Radio studio in DTLA. All kinds of audio treats to be had for the savvy listener: Jacques Dutronc, […]

Over beers earlier this summer at Athfest , team clermont’s Lucas Jensen casually mentioned that The Theatre Fire’s Everybody Has A Darkside album was his favorite release of ’06. I was immediately intrigued as: […]
Oakley Hall :: Gypsum Strings
Hitting their stride (and the record-buying public) with not one, but two, albums this year is Brooklyn’s Oakley Hall . The latter of the two, Gypsum Strings , sees the psych-country-rock monsters burning […]
