Walking on the moon...

With Moonspeed's Jeff Suthers.

I took some time out to sit in on a Moonspeed practice and have a few words with the bands leader, Jeff Suthers. We talked about new directions and the advantages of playing in Denver.

I'll be posting the interview in full on the Rock Mountain Music Blog later this week.

Also, Jeff and I will be guest hosting Starlight Motel on Radio 1190 on June 27th. Moonspeed will be playing their first show the following night, Friday, Jun28th, at the Hi-Dive. The Wheel will be opening the show.

stay tuned.

Shiny and loud


The strobe lights made photos difficult. The volume made me smile. Indian Jewelry @ the Hi-Dive 4/30/08

What I Like...Indian Jewelry

INDIAN JEWELRY @ THE HI-DIVE APRIL 30th

A little late notice but oh so important. Originally from houston, TX, Indian Jewelry spent some time in LA but now call Texas their home again. I first heard about this troupe through a friend who played guitar for them when they went under the moniker Swarm of Angels. IJ Changed names probably two or three times after that and seem to have settled on their current title. I finally got a chance to see them live in 2005 at a wharehouse space in Houston. Gorgeous, shiny and disturbing at the same time. Don't miss this!

What goes on in your mind...


The dj project that I've been talking about for a while is now underway.

I refer to it as a "project" because of its conceptual nature. These aren't recordings of some Friday night club dj but something much more systematic and controlled. Think of it as a chronology of changes in consciouness. A six hour snapshot to be exact. And thanks Merck.

It's as if On the Corner's bled over into my living room. Music to sleep t0, music to dream to, and such. Or more exact: "what goes on in your mind?". Picture: Matthew & Darren taking a break from the mixer for a haunting photo (12:24 am).

Stay tuned for immediate release.

Poketo comes through! Organic & Bamboo!

The new Poketo spring line is in and we are thrilled.

We've already had to re-order what's been called, " the greatest print ever made".

The pictures here are of two shirts from their Sustainable Series.

70% bamboo/30% organic cotton




In addition to apparel poketo has taken on home wares and stationary. Need a travel journal complete with built-in manila pockets and protective case? fancy tiger has got you covered.

Or how about a writing journal that looks like your favorite 50's paperback?
