Bob Moore
I'm a middle-class left-leaning guy who grew up in the seventies with a long-haired babysitter who wore bell-bottoms and love beads and played Mamas & the Papas and Robbie Basho records and I thought that was okay. Today I read High Times at the Borders cafe and wonder how many old earth moms are sitting at the free clinic downtown waiting for their methadone treatments and lament how cold everyone around me seems and sip on a coffee whose price could have fed a small village in the Sudan and I guess that's okay too because I suppose it has to be. And every once and a while a songbird or sage or seer or scoundrel sings a song or plays a note that resonates in a way that is purely subjective and as illogical as it is seductive and that's okay too. In fact, that is very good. You can find me elsewhere as ClemofNazareth, and all of those are things I like to write about.
Wrote most about Reviews, Album Reviews, review, avant-garde and Rasputina.

Melora Creager's Rasputina metamorphasis
This limited-edition CD was my introduction to Ms. Melora Creager, and what an introduction it turned out to be . The resonant feeling I heard on the first playing sent me off on a web-surfing frenzy that ended with my debit card lying on…

Ex-Metallic Falcon Matteah Baim follows her debut ‘Death of the Sun’ with ‘Laughing Boy’ this spring, an album that shows her moving away from longtime influence Devendra Banhart as well as into a more earthy folk tilt than the lipstick…
"Well we'll all be alone when we sing our final note"
For anyone who has experienced the genre-bending and ranging music of Cerberus Shoal any time in the past decade, this rebirth known as Fire on Fire should come as no surprise. That band seemed to make a habit of reinventing their sound…
