THE CHEWERS – Our Favorite Band this Month

by Staff January 7, 2014

The Chewers are a two man act (Travis Caffrey and Michael Sadlen) originally from West Virginia who have taken residence in Nashville, land of drawling vox and twangy clean guitars to produce music that is…well I’m almost not sure what to call it, “off-kilter” is how the band describes it. And how. Part monster movie music, […]

Ho Ho Ho – Very Fisticuffs!

by Tony Shea December 25, 2013

Now that the last of the 90 degree days are behind us here in LA (fingers crossed) and darkness, cool cloudy days, and even occasional precipitation have come to Los Angeles, I am now ready to savor HOCKEY – glorious hockey in all its bone crushing, fist breaking, teeth loosening glory. Hockey’s like a pinball […]

by Jay Hood December 16, 2013

  Let’s kick off the end of the year with an obligatory top 10 list.  This one will focus on something a little different.   This list avoids the big Marvel and DC titles and looks in on some of the non-caped crusaders (though Batman ’66 is a super fun read!).  These didn’t necessarily all […]

Small Faces: Song of a Baker (1968)

by Sara Gatewood December 6, 2013

There’s a reason guitarist Steve Marriott is standing in the front. There’s a reason you might want to stand back. His guitar wants to kill you. Were the Small Faces underrated? Not by me. By “the people?” I don’t know, do you like them? Do you think Ronnie Lane is one of the finest songwriters […]

by Tony Shea November 18, 2013

While typically not as well known as certain of his contemporaries, including Jack Kerouac, William Burroughs, and Albert Camus, Bowles surely ranks of one of the best. Bowles straddled a literary fence between the world of the Beatniks and the French Existentialists, […]

Let’s See Where My Priorities Have Been, Shall We?”

by Lenny Schmidt October 21, 2013

I’ve spent most of my life beating myself up, “I should be doing this. I should be doing that. I don’t try hard enough.” It made me miserable. I never realized it until after my divorce (and the two and a half years of therapy that came after it). Since then, I’ve learned to enjoy […]

10 Reasons to Love Life on the Oakland Riviera vs. San Francisco

by Shannon Murfree October 16, 2013

The New York Times calls Oakland the fifth most desirable travel destination (which is probably why it took me so long to find an apartment here) and Forbes Magazine ranked the Uptown District ninth among the top hipster neighborhoods.
