I’m a sucker for a great story. On Golden Pond is a great story. But that is not all that makes this show a wonder to watch. Sort of like The Crying Game, I won’t spoil the surprise if you don’t already know what former South Sound acting juggernaut has

It seems as though in the recent past (and probably future) most slightly forlorn youths think they can purchase a laptop and make their own beats and thusly their own music. They might not be mistaken, but music is definitional and music of quality is a difficult entity to find.

LOZEN Friday, April 10 And for my next trick I will write about an all-female band from the Northwest without referencing Heart or Sleater-Kinney.
