Happy Halloween everyone! I hope you all had a fantastic Halloween weekend like I did. My boyfriend came up from Davis, and a group of our friends dressed up as characters from Star Wars. In Ashland we have a traditional Halloween parade in which the entire town is dressed to the nines walking down theContinue reading “Halloween and Lake Street Dive”

Sean Hayes is Coming to Town
Hello all, I’m back from the wilderness and doing my best to adjust to civilization. Sleeping in a bed, using a normal toilet, spending time on the computer… all of these things are so alien to me that it’s strange to think that at one point I took them all for granted. But enough aboutContinue reading “Sean Hayes is Coming to Town”
The Mountains Are Calling
Today I am embarking on a three month adventure into the Trinity mountains in California. I got a job at Camp Unalayee, which is a camp for kids, ages 10-17, and encourages them to explore the outdoors. Starting today I’ll be out of the real world for most of the summer, coming back for aContinue reading “The Mountains Are Calling”
Mumford & Sons and Their Wilder Mind
There’s something about four lads from England with instruments in hand, and the knowledge of how to play them, that gets me all hot and bothered. The first British quartet to come into my life was The Beatles when I was about four years old. My dad had a poster of them in his officeContinue reading “Mumford & Sons and Their Wilder Mind”
A Hike to Hobart Bluff
I’m going to veer off from my usual blog posts today. I’m currently taking a History of the Pacific Northwest Wilderness class at Southern Oregon University and one of our assignments was to go explore a Wilderness area in either Oregon or Washington and make a blog post about our experience. This is my experienceContinue reading “A Hike to Hobart Bluff”
Ben Howard, Portland, Oregon
It’s a surreal moment when you see one of your favorite bands live. They come on stage and you scream with everyone else, hardly able to grasp that the musicians whose music has shaped and influenced you so much are really standing in front of you. Seeing Ben Howard in Portland, Oregon left me withContinue reading “Ben Howard, Portland, Oregon”
What I’m Listening To, The Head And The Heart
The Head And The Heart hold very special memories for me. I first heard them when I was in France staying on a friend’s homestead. My friend Gonzo played The Head And The Heart’s song Rivers and Roads countless times on his tiny guitar and with his booming voice while our other friends chimed inContinue reading “What I’m Listening To, The Head And The Heart”
What I’m Listening To, The Vaccines
Happy New Year everyone! I hope 2014 treated you well and if it was rather unforgiving, like my year was, then I hope it helped you grow as a person and made you stronger in facing 2015. Let’s start the year off with some good music, shall we? During late spring of 2014 I beganContinue reading “What I’m Listening To, The Vaccines”
What I’m Listening To, Matt Corby
I first heard Matt Corby when I came across a video of him performing an acoustic version of his song, Brother, in a garden. I was immediately taken by his unique voice, gravely and gospel one moment, then clear and falsetto the next. Corby is from Oyster Bay, New South Wales but relocated to London, England afterContinue reading “What I’m Listening To, Matt Corby”
What I’m Listening To, Daughter
If you like Florence and The Machine then I can guarantee that you will enjoy Daughter, a band from London that consists of Elena Tonra, Igor Haefeli, and Remi Aguilella. This trio released their first EP, His Young Heart, in 2011 and followed it with another EP, The Wild Youth, which came out later thatContinue reading “What I’m Listening To, Daughter”
