We are surrounded by architecture. We live, we work, we eat, we play in buildings, and those buildings aren’t necessarily concrete blocks, though they would perfectly function as such. But they’re not. The buildings around us have style and character, even the ones we call our own. David Hinchen is an architectural artist. He captures […]
We’re very opinionated when it comes to music. That stands to reason, since music is so much a guiding force in our lives. So, we listen to songs, and when we find one we love, we want to hear every song like it. That’s how we ended up with genres. And it is not easy […]
We once had gods, and they were fierce, and they were mighty, and they were like us, and then we organized, and the old gods gave way, but never the need in our lives for something that could represent the potential of our imaginations. And so, one day an artist drew lines and a writer […]
Going to a bar is a social experience nearly every American adult has had. Cuba Libre or club soda, we’ve all been in a bar. The alcoholic delights seem endless, even though we have our favorites. We all have a way we sip a Mai Tai or down a shot, and most bartenders know just […]

Whether it’s a call to your mind with moving, or novel chord progressions, or the simple backgrounds overlayed by a smooth voice telling […]
So you’re at the show. She’s on stage singing her head-off, and the band backing her is liquid fire, as is the drink you just ordered from the bar during the summer festival the city puts on, why the girl singing her head off is onstage in the first place, a delicious little interplay between […]
Music is performance. It’s feeling and meaning. All true. Some people get up on stage determined to put on a show. Others get on stage to tap into that thing that’s greater than us all and wrestle its voice. They play because they love playing and would play in a dark room if there was […]
Music is an alter ego. Even when you use your own name and wear your own face, when you go up on that stage, you become somebody else. You become a performer. No matter how absolutely zen you are, you shift your mindset into that of the best musician you can be. And that persona […]
