“We meet at bars, coffee shops, apartments, parks and poetry readings to read and critique our creative writing. We recommend new authors and drink whiskey. We also meet at bay area ranges to shoot, talk guns and help each other improve our...

Ryan Adams- Ashes and Fire
Stream the new Ryan Adams album Ashes and Fire over at NPR. Goddamn it’s good. Think mid to late 70’s Dylan. On The Beach era Neil. At some points, Ryan even sounds kinda…happy.

WatchWatch the entire 1-hour show Wilco played last night on the Late Show with David Letterman. Wilco absolutely killed it; highlights include a hit parade of a set list, Jeff Tweedy’s stage banter, his incredibly rare smiles, Nels Cline beating the shit out of his guitar, and seeing how much the band seems to love performing their new material. If you missed the live stream last night,...

Neil Young - Author
Excellent news: Neil Young is the next aging iconic rock star to try his hand at writing a memoir. Having read Keith Richards’ “Life” last summer and thoroughly enjoying it, I am really looking forward to this. Tentatively titled “Waging Heavy Peace”, the book should be out sometime next fall.

Penfield Kasson
The Penfield Kasson: the most perfect fall jacket ever. Don’t worry dudes, there’s a men’s version as well. I really liked last season’s buffalo plaid lining better…can’t complain though. This is a solid product from an awesome old New England brand.

WatchCass McCombs delivers a soulful rendition of “More or Less” live in the Pitchfork studios. A nice Band-y vibe to this one, especially with those organ keys. Anyone who’s seen him live will recognize those glowing lights.

Christopher Owens on Ariel Pink
“Ariel is the mad genius and the best songwriter of our time, but there is a place for me somewhere pretty high up there— I’m pretty damn good. But Ariel’s also on a different drug than I am. I’m a junkie; that guy’s up all the time, bouncing off the fucking walls.”
- Christopher Owens, of Girls, on Ariel Pink
Having seen him live, I have to agree with (very un-modest) Owens on this one.

WatchIt’s the beginning of fall. It’s a slow, gray day. Seems like a perfect time for the next installment of RedEyed playlists. Here is RedEyed Presents: The Country Blues. There’s a real mix of styles, artists, and time periods in here and I promise it won’t bum you out too much. Ideal for strolling wet streets alone, sitting pensively at a bar with a glass of whiskey, or...

WatchApologies for the super weird formatting here, but this is Girls performing Honey Bunny live on Jimmy Fallon last night, and then recording a particularly epic version of “My Ma” as a web exclusive. If you can get your hands on tickets, they’re playing 2 sold-out shows at the Bowery Ballroom next week, and it seems like they’re really bringing it live. Those back up singers...

WatchVideo done by Jamie Harley for the entire the Memoryhouse EP The Years. Sunny, slowed down visuals totally fit the pace of this summery music. A nice calm way to spend the next 20 min of your day.
