Florence and the Machine gives us Lungs

Uninspired. Music, lately, has been completely uninspiring for me. Something I never thought would ever, ever, occur for such an extended period of time as this one. Thus, resulting in my inadequate posting as of late. That and the fact that perhaps my inspiration has greatly shifted from music to literature? I have been devouring [...]

Introducing: Caytee Lush

Caytee Lush is a friend of mine who won me over the first time I heard her pick up a little half sized guitar at 2 a.m during a party at (“The Experimental Love Collectives”) house.

It’s Blitz! It’s Blitz! It’s Blitz! It’s on repeat!

Good god, again, I’m sorry for the lack of updates. I wish one of my classes was devoted to “blog updating”, because so much has been going on in the world of music lately, I just need to sit down and get it all out on here. Firstly, though, I have to devote a little [...]
