Marriage. It's always in the news. Should Beau be able to marry Chip? Should I be able to stagger down the aisle with a bottle of Bourbon? Who the hell are these people determining who can marry who btw? Eventually you learn what makes a person tick. The best of times and the worst of times. You figure, "You know twat? I effing love this person and I can't imagine living without them." Happens to the best of us. Mikal Cronin isn't so much getting married as he is the preacher performing the ceremony. So who is getting married? Mr. Power and Ms. Pop. "Mr. Power, do you take Ms. Pop to be your lawfully wedded wife?" "I do." "Ms. Pop do you promise to cook for Mr. Power, do his laundry, and give him a surprise beej he doesn't have to beg for about once every two weeks, that'd be kewl mmmmkay?" "I do." Awwwwwww. You may kiss the bride:

Inside my studio I have every tool an artist needs to make a painting. Brushes, turpentine, rags, etc. The studio is setup so there is never an excuse not to create a painting. So why do I spend time picking at my arm, staring at the wall, or stacking bottle caps? There is an element to anything creative that is a "moment". The now. A celebration of impulse. Junip captures that moment for over 45 minutes on their 2013 self titled album. A stunning record that uses so many different instruments and tools for creating sound.....it's mind boggling.

Hello, if you are stumbling on this blog for the first time and wondering: "What the eff is this?" Here it is. I am an artist in Los Angeles. I listen to albums all day while I work. So with headphones on and paint splattered clothes, I wrote about the music. There is so much absolute crap on the internet. As a matter of fact the internet is a complete waste of time. On par with video games and learning trigonometry. You should be outside. You should not be starring at this artificial screen. Where is something intrinsically good online? Something just plain cool. Well you found it. So as a thank you, here is something just damn good and cool. Caveman has unreal potential. Such an impressive freshman effort and certainly one of the best albums you will hear in 2013.
