My father, wife and daughter accompanied me on a work trip to Orlando this week. We spent the weekend exploring the world Walt built. January is a great time in Mouse Town as the lines arn’t too long and the heat is at a minimum. Overall it has been a great experience, but there...

I am literally running out the door to catch a flight to San Francisco, but couldn’t help sharing the latest from the Chelsea Wolfe camp. A few days ago Chelsea tweeted that she was ‘living inside an XXL biggie smalls t-shirt‘. What seemed an odd statement at the time now makes sense. Full time...

My first exposure to the sisters Söderberg was the tail end of their opening set for Lykke Li at the Ogden Theatre back in November. Regrettably missing the majority of their set, I couldn’t help but think of Neko Case while a girl next to me suggested a female Fleet Foxes. I don’t think...

Grimes (aka Claire Boucher) first sparked my interest with 2010′s Halfaxa, became one of my favorite new artists with her daytime performance at FFF6 and left me wanting more with this year’s Darkbloom.

ILSUDH2 has its roots in an e-mail distribution list that started out with about 10 people. When I moved to San Francisco I would send out e-mails to my friends about albums, shows and events that I thought they might be interested in. I first used the words ‘I Listen So You Don’t Have...

ILSUDH2 still prefers to listen to albums in their entirety, which makes it very hard to put together a list of ‘best tracks’ at the end of each year. This year was no exception. Therefore, what follows is a massive soundtrack to the reality show known as 2011. To say these songs represent the...
