i’m currently sitting on the plane flying home to vancouver from miami. i’ve skipped miami music week the last few years what with the pandemic and also some years it just not seeming worth it… so it was good to be back. i think it’s probably my 8 or 9th time, which seems wild in retrospect. it’s a good mix of people, some people who are trying to re-create the “glory days” whatever that means, and most who just kinda adapt and roll with the ebbs and flows of the industry. i’m always a fan of those in the latter camp as the former feels a bit like…

Night 1 at Larimer Lounge was in the main room. It was packed and I really liked it. It felt like a dive bar with….

I’m on a plane back to Vancouver, and managed to get out of Burning Man Sunday afternoon. It’s a bit wild to see all the mainstream news outlets covering something you were just at.
