I, for one, can say that I looked forward to this show more than anything – but not as a crazy phish fan but as a pessimistic critic. Yes, I admit, Phish has been in the doghouse with me since I saw Trey perform solo a few years ago at Bonnaroo which turned out to [...]

Like any new relationship, there are ups and downs, surprises and let-downs. Take Passion Pit and my relationship for instance: Pre-SXSW: All my friends were talking about them. “You just HAVE to see them!” they would say. I was intrigued. SXSW, Austin: I was surprised, enthralled, and excited for a new fling with this fresh group. In [...]

Wow. Two chairs, two guitars, two people but only one harmonious stream of acoustic music poured from that stage. Rodrigo’s lead guitar paved the way for Gabriel to shine and together they were paranormal. Although he serves as an intensely fast and flawless lead guitarist, I couldn’t take my eyes off Gabriela.

Mowgli’s Road is the blue vs. the red pill in song form. The entire song is Marina’s internal battle between choosing the numbing and seductive path society advertises or the more challenging and rebellious pursuit of her own dreams. I’ve always had a gut feeling that there is something terribly wrong with the current paradigms [...]

This 80’s sounding Arcade Fire track is by far my favorite from Neon Bible. I’ve never been able to fully understand what it’s about, some people say it has religious connotations and I agree but I also think there’s a little more to it. I gather this song is about having total control over your [...]
