I’m excited to give a hearty “Welcome back!” to our Coffee with a Rockstar column. We started it back in 2003 (about 10 years before Jerry Seinfeld started drinking coffee with comedians) as a way to find out the coffee preferences (and other important details) from our favorite musicians. In this installment of of CWAR, […]
Spiritualized will be at the Moore Theatre on Wednesday, April 3, 2019 (ticket & show info). “Here It Comes (The Road) Let’s Go” by Spiritualized is one of my favorite songs from 2018 (more about that here).

Show Date: November 2, 2018
Last week I found myself the farthest from the stage I’ve ever been at a Los Campesinos! show. I couldn’t see much, but it didn’t matter; I was there to hear a bunch of my favorite songs and jump & dance like nobody was watching (which I find easier to do in the back of […]
