Much of my time spent with the silver screen this past year has been with documentary films. This is both due to the fact my wife has been working closely with documentary filmmakers here in […]

Last year Filter magazine had a light bulb of an idea getting native Kentucky songwriters/actors Dwight Yoakam and Will Oldham to interview one another. Upon seeing the artwork for the feature I knew I had to scan it for you […]

Peter, Bjorn And John’s latest full length Writer’s Block finally saw its U.S. release this past Tuesday coupled with a bonus disc of six additional tracks. Anyone who became entranced with the Stockholm trio’s synth/folk, sixties inspired
