A Californian in Dublin: Travels of a Busker
It takes a lot of nerve to walk out on the street with an instrument in hand and start playing and singing for everyone to hear. But what about hopping on a plane and walking out onto the streets of a totally foreign city to do the same? That takes more than nerve – that […]
BEFORE I DIE: youbloom | HEADROOM #3 with Featured Artists from the Dublin 2016 Music Festival
“Music is enough for a lifetime, but a lifetime is not enough for music.” One of the most influential composers of his time and to this day, Sergei Rachmaninoff’s name might not exactly conjure images of blazing guitars and hot tubs full of topless, adoring groupies. Yet the Russian musician kept his nose to the […]

6 Things Your Band Should Be Doing on Facebook

New Album Wednesday with Dan M | Leftover Crack – Constructs Of The State (2015)
Leftover Crack – Constructs Of The State (2015) Leftover Crack rose from the ashes of the mighty band Choking Victim, and mainly consists of ex-Choking Victim guitarist and vocalist Scott “Stza” Sturgeon and friends. Of the curious band name, Stza once said that, since they were leftover C.V. tunes, they were essentially, well, leftover crack. […]
The Three P’s of Recording
Last week, I went into White Room Studios in Austin, Texas to begin work on Of The Sun’s new EP, Before A Human Path. This marks possibly the 17th anniversary of the first time I’ve ever “laid down tracks”, as they say. While most of my experience in recording has been in either makeshift or […]
