So Long, Lemmy
News of the death of Ian “Lemmy” Kilmister, bassist/vocalist/songwriter/essential component of British ur-thrashers Motorhead, began to pop up on my social media feeds yesterday afternoon. I hoped it was a misreading of the passing of his seventieth birthday last week, … Continue reading
Berries on Boxing Day
Slept til noon today, which makes sense, given that I got home a little after three this morning. The Berries had a show in Real City last night, headlining a three-band bill at our home-away-from-home, Art Bar. Justin and I … Continue reading
