Early this morning I got an email from H.D. Harmsen asking if I’d like to premiere his video for “Song For Judy.” His album had it’s debut on Paste Magazine’s website. A step down today, for sure, but I’m thrilled that he asked me. If you don’t know Harmsen, he had his hand in a couple of my favorite albums last year. His own release … Continue reading H.D.

After over a decade doing somersaults across stages as one fourth of The Poison Control Center, Patrick Tape-Fleming has taken a deeper look inward on his new project, Gloom Balloon.

And of course the third track is the one that … Continue reading The Poison Control Center-Stranger Ballet

They are literally two of the nicest people you could ever hope to meet and he’s a very talented musician. When I heard this song performed at Schubas a couple months ago, I have to … Continue reading The Poison Control Center Exclusive-Terminal
