We Are Islands
“No man, proclaimed Donne, is an Island, and he was wrong. If we were not islands, we would be lost, drowned in each other’s tragedies. We are insulated (a word that means, literally, remember, made into an island) from the tragedy of others, by our island nature, and by the repetitive shape and form of the stories.

Why Super Crate Box Reminds Me of My Father

The New Curator
My favorite blogger Stephen Hackett recently wrote an article about the misattribution of the title “curator” to bloggers known for gathering links around the web and sitting them in front of the reader. His article brings to light an interesting fact - “curation” is becoming a buzzword. Any blog gathering the internet in a tidy package can be labeled as such. A certain new...

vivalarecords: We’re posting footage from Alexander & The Grapes recording session in Boston every month up until they release their new record. Here’s the latest installment - an instrumental version of “Ocean” being recorded in the studio. This is the first bit of footage released from the filming I did in Boston awhile ago. I’m very pleased with how it turned out.

vivalarecords: John Vanderslice invites The Grapes onstage during his concert at Creative Loafing’s space in Ybor City. This is a video I shot recently for my ever-favorite local band. Very cool that they got to play with Vanderslice.
