I’ll speak for myself here – feel good music comes in heavy rotation during the holiday seasons. Tunes that strum in and out of my ears are those that bring deep seeded feelings of love and nostalgia, of friendship and little moments that make life sing with thankful memories. This duo, Wild Child, has that uncanny ability to make you smile in nearly any occasion of mood. Read More
Music We Love: Lucius

Music We Love: The Staves

New (And Old) Music We Love
It’s been a little while since I’ve shared some new music I’ve been listening to, so I have lots of ear candy for you today! First and foremost, though, I have to acknowledge the recent passing of a musical legend, Lou Reed. He was a man unafraid to push boundaries and explore the darker side of life, and he left behind a legacy — both in his solo work and his work with the Velvet Underground — that will play on in our hearts and souls forever.

Festival Fashion At Treasure Island
Treasure Island.
The last hoorah of Festivals for the 2013 year…. Right? Yes. I think so…
In the scheme of things, Treasure Island is quite quaint. Only two stages rise above the crowds, with a backdrop of San Francisco’s glorified cityscape behind it. There is no view that isn’t pleasing: sit, stand… lay… it’s all good. You’ll hear and see all that you want. Here, only one stage plays at a time, and no matter your placement in this small, intimate setting, the sound resonates and finds you. Read More
Edward Sharpe’s Big Top Festival
I haven’t been to a circus since the tender age of 7.
While time has gone on, and I’ve grown older, this one and only experience will never leave me a stranger to the smells, sights, or sounds of such a place. The distinguished character that oozes out of such a magical land does not fall prey to forgetting. Read More
When Music Takes You Back
Have you ever had a time when your ears caught a piece of a song and immediately you’re swept away to an experience in your past? The time, the place, the faces… the sights, the smells, the feeling. Music has an incredible power to take us back; to allow our minds to revisit a deep memory that we may not have thought about in quite some time. I’ve always found this to be such a magical thing, and I was curious to discover the songs, bands, and experiences that are forever linked in the minds of others… so I turned to five girls right here in our home office.
