‘Tis the season for giving. Every year we donate $1 from the sale of each ticket of our holiday show to a different deserving recipient. This year we’ve selected Ethos Music Center. Ethos is dedicated to the promotion of music and music-based education for youth in underserved communities. In a time when music/arts programs are mostly a memory in public schools, organizations like this are crucial to exposing and educating America’s youth.
We’re also honored to have Etho’s band, Death By Thumb perform at this year’s concert at Crystal Ballroom. Sat, Dec 20th.
If you’d like to donate further to Ethos please visit their website or booth at the event.
I went and saw Fleetwood Mac last week. They played for nearly 3 hours and I knew every song but one. Jeeziz. I’ve never bought a Fleetwood Mac record in my life. What a fugging hit machine.
Yes they’re basically monster movies and yes the female characters have as much development as a drippy nosed 14 year old boy BUT every winter I watch them religiously with a fire going and candles burning and every winter I love them.

I’d never seen an interview with Frank Zappa. I must say its surprising to me that he’s such a cool cat. Having grown up periodically hearing his zany music (and vocal style) I guess I just assumed he was a zany guy.
Frustratingly, measures to require GMO labeling narrowly failed in California and Washington. If Oregon fails we may never build up enough steam to get GMOs labeled in the United States, like 64 other countries already require.
This isn’t just an issue for Oregon, national support is needed! We’ve made doing your part simple. Just download our version of OHIO and $0.92 will go to the Yes On Measure 92 Campaign (you can also donate more with all extra going directly to the campaign). Make Oregon the first state to require GMO labeling and give other states a chance to follow suit.
Courtney & I will be performing this song at a local benefit this Sunday, October 12th. If the footage turns out we’ll share it with you as part of our victory celebration on Nov 4th!
