I’ll let you in a little about who I am and some of my deeper ponderings about music and life and all that jazz. Not literal jazz, of course, because I am a mediocre musician. Jazz musicians, you astound me time and time again with your creativity regarding compositions and improvising like no other. But I digress… I have played the guitar since I was 10 or 11 years old, starting off on a classical, nylon-stringed guitar my parents had brought back on a trip from Mexico when I was 3 years old or so. From an early age, I … Continue reading INFLUENCE

EXCLUSIVE REVIEW: VIGGO’s Be One Norway | New Wave Pop/Electronic Stuck somewhere between the 80’s and modern times, VIGGO is a new wave, atmospheric pop collective that is fresh out the oven! I don’t think it is by any accident that this group came together so cohesively seeing as how the impressive lineup consists of a bunch of veteran Norwegian artists – Sjur Miljeteig, Charlotte Qvale and Marte Wulff. It’s sort of a “modge podge” of people from different genres and backgrounds, BUT IT TOTALLY WORKS! Sjur is a jazz musician and composer, Charlotte is an actress turned pop singer … Continue reading EXCLUSIVE REVIEW: New Single by Viggo

Radically Refined Nostalgia South Korea | Surf Rock/Indie I am allergic to athleticism, let me just get that out of the way, first and foremost. And yet, here I am, dreaming of surfing waves, hanging on for dear life with my “tootsies” to a board that is the only thing keeping me afloat against kegs and barrels. However, I would be what surfers call “clucked” (being scared of waves) if I actually went for it in real life. Thanks to Say Sue Me, I can continue to imagine the impossible all because of their “far out” ditties. INTRO/HISTORY/BACKGROUND BAND FACTS: … Continue reading Say Sue Me
