April has been the longest year of the year. And it’s not quite over, but that’s okay. So much has happened – and so much of it seems like it happened ages ago, even though it was maybe only 10 days. Notably, Altar Eagle (the duo of my partner, Eden Hemming, and myself) made its […]
I used to be pretty okay with winter – hell, I might even say I was into it, but after about five days of sub-freezing temperatures (today it’s supposed to get up to 40 for the first time since last Thursday – woohoo!), I am rethinking all of that. Anyway, The Jewel Garden has dropped its first […]

Expressive, poignant […]
