Mrs. Ford saved my ass in 8th grade art class. It was the first time a salty, sophisticated older woman of authority took an interest in me, as a student or anything else, and she praised my surreal mordant doodles before the whole class. And surprisingly they didn’t even resent it, they seemed to agree …

My sister was dating an older biker named Joe Cox. She was tiny, demure, had winged white-blonde hair, with a jersey style t-shirt of her favorite local bar band The Machine, and he was all dirty denim and beer belly and scraggly beard. Joe was known for picking up some dude’s “rice burner,” lifting it …

I lost my virginity (whatever that means) to this album. John and I had been out in the desert all day, near the potato factory, playing “The Hill” with our friends, a Vietnam-based drama I crafted like some kind of future video game. (I have been mistaken for a “dungeon master” by some and never …
People often talk about Desert Island Discs, and it always reminds me that I could probably isolate myself there with Stevie Wonder’s 70s catalogue. My two older brothers, dressed in Bicentennial necklaces above hairy chests and and red, white, and blue platforms, took me to Seattle Center on Live Music Sundays to see bands like …
I stole a whole rolled up lid of Columbian out of my brother’s bell bottoms hung up in our shared closet, after he came home from his maître d’ shift at the Hyatt House and passed out in our bedroom. Charlie and I lit out for the desert surrounding the Tri-Cities, towards the smell of …

Mark Hollis and Talk Talk… the complex arrangements were rivaled by very few, Bryan Ferry and The Blue Nile included. The layers, the introduction of instruments and sounds here and there, if only for a moment or two… almost Brian Wilson-esque.
