Ben Kweller // 30 April, Part I.
This post is the first of a three part series on a concert that took place in Salt Lake City, Utah on the evening of 30 April 2012. The concert featured Sleeper/Agent, Ben Kweller, and The Dig. Parts two and three are coming soon.

Quick Update II:
I know it’s been three weeks since I spent my wonderful time with Ben Kweller, Sleeper/Agent, and The Dig and that I have yet to post something about it, even now. Unlike me since I’ve usually got something written up the next day! However, this fact is occurring for a couple of reasons…
College rules/eats/overtakes my soul.
It was such an incredible experience that I’m...

A Special Post On: ML Leather.
_________________________________________________________________________
I know, I know… who do I think I am, posting about a wonderful leather goods company on a music blog? It’s an outrage!
But really, the only thing that I find outrageous is the fact that I’ve never posted about this company before this moment! I support music, yes, but first and foremost… I...

SLEEPER/AGENT Updates!
Today, SLEEPER/AGENT announced that they will make their late night television debut on MARCH 22 on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon. Mark your calendars and be sure to watch!
I was so excited to hear this news that I screamed.. out loud, you know. In class.
Oops?
In other news, MY FUNDRAISER is still in full swing and I am still in need of your gracious donations! I have been completely grateful...

Spying on SLEEPER/AGENT: Where Vinyl Sea Press Is...
It’s been almost a year now since SLEEPER/AGENT first took me backstage at Cain’s Ballroom and I sat on a red couch coated in the members of Biffy Clyro’s sweat.
(Awesome, right?)
Tons of things have happened since then, of course, but my friendship with this wonderful group of people has not faded. Instead it has greatly increased.
So much so, in fact, that they have agreed...

Portland.
This blog has been an utter graveyard lately. Please forgive me! Vinyl Sea Press is still alive and well in my heart, and it pains me to neglect it as I have. But I’ve been traveling, writing a book, and preparing for college. The time and months have been swiped beneath my feet before I’ve ever known what’s hit me. I promise that it’ll be resurrected as soon as possible,...

Shakey Graves Interview // "Roll The Bones"
“I’m just one person, and no one taught me how to do anything,” says Alejandro Rose-Garcia, age 24, to me. He’s speaking about his music – the music he creates under his stage moniker Shakey Graves – and it only makes me admire and respect him more than I just did two minutes ago. People often assume that Alejandro is not a one-man show, but he is. Every bit of music he creates and records, came...

LYNX is a twenty-five year old singer songwriter and producer who has been performing since she was seven years old. I stumbled upon her album, “On The Horizon”, quite suddenly a couple of days ago. I’ve been fiercely enraptured ever since.
Her vocals are beautiful, and when paired with her eloquent and thought-provoking lyrics, that alone could sell her. But add in her musical talents —...

Anonymous asked: Ask the band Misions what happen to Scott Jordan? Scott is a very talented person and he has been writing the song Foreign Grounds for a few years now, along with quite a few others. It will be very interesting to see what the other two musician do, if the song takes off. The New York check arrived and Jeremy & Josh cut everyone off. Won`t even return a text. It`s a shame what a little...

My beautiful, wonderful, talented friends in SLEEPER/AGENT, performing acoustic versions of their tracks from their upcoming album, Celabrasion, in NYC today.

SLEEPER/AGENT and The Strokes.
SLEEPER/AGENT released the album art for their debut album, Celabrasion, today. The album itself comes out August 16th. I already have my hands on it digitally — one of my couple small gifts I was given when I interviewed them — and it’s fantastic. They are fantastic. I have plans to attend the Starry Nights Music Fest in Bowling Green, Kentucky this year… where I will see...

Kiss Each Other Clean -- A Track-By-Track Album...
Last week, I was wandering the magical aisles of Target when I decided to make a quick stop in the music section. I didn’t think I would find much to strike my fancy, but there was one album that jumped out at me. There on the shelf sat Iron & Wine’s newest album, Kiss Each Other Clean.
I’ll admit, I picked it up a bit reluctantly. I had avoided buying it via the web...

A Man & His Piano.
I mentioned Dustin O’Halloran for the first and only time on this blog on April 30th, 2010. To this day, I think that piece of mine is one of the most expressive and honest (when it comes to music) that I have ever written. Why? Because all Dustin O’Halloran brings out in me are those feelings and many more — and he doesn’t have to sing or say a single word.
Dustin...
