Pandora is an enabler

Posted on March 30, 2011 by Solonor

Stayed up too late listening to and playing along with the Lonesome Sisters, Steve Earle, Gillian Welch, Slaid Cleaves, Son Volt and (for some strange reason) Death Cab for Cutie. If sleep don’t take me, extreme emo/country/blues will… I’m not … Continue reading →

This better be worth it…

Posted on March 23, 2011 by Solonor
