It's all you'll need when telling everyone you're free

Coming off an incredibly special couple of long weekends in the desert, the first for LAND's performance of Katie Grinnan's Astrology Orchestra, the second for the holiday. Words won't begin to describe the time spent, it must simply be felt.

Some of my favorite spots:

Coyote Hole House
Integratron
Pappy and Harriet's
Hope Springs
Cactus Mart
Mojave Sands
29 Palms Inn
Crossroads Cafe
Giant Rock - and be sure to go past to the white quartz hill
The Ace 
Stuart's for moccasins and crystals
Cheeky's

I wish you knew I was too young

Melody's Echo Chamber

Devotion fades without a warning

Heard this song on Morning Becomes Eclectic on the way to the office this morning, within the first few seconds I thought it was 5 different bands from as many different decades, only to be stumped by a sound entirely unique. Oren Lyons is an LA-based band and an immediate favorite, so sorry to have missed their recent show, opening for the epic Other Lives.
