At The Movies

The first movie I ever saw in North Pointe Cinemas was Mars Attacks! in December of 1996. It was also opening night of North Pointe Cinemas, which was a 6-screen theater.

Blood Incantation : Timewave Zero

Denver’s Blood Incantation has made a reputation for themselves as one of the premier death metal bands. Eschewing the typical grind of lyrics about war and blood and carnage for something a little headier and cosmic.

Johnny Marr : Fever Dreams Pts 1-4

The Smiths existed within a magical moment in 80s college/alternative music. Shimmering guitars, dance-heavy rhythms, and of course that voice. Songs of love, loss, and British snark that were as earnest as they were snarky. Morrissey gets a lot of the credit for the Smiths success, and sure he was an integral ingredient. But without […]

Paper Or Plastic

I had a dream the other day that I was back in the old Owens grocery story on Market St in my hometown. This was the store my family shopped at for all of our groceries growing up. From the time when I could fit underneath the cart where you typically put bags of softener […]

Jonah Leatherman : Jonah Leatherman

Fort Wayne, Indiana’s Jonah Leatherman makes music that sounds timeless. Jangly indie rock that’s rooted in the tradition of big, classic rock and roll.
