  2. Another Killer Review for Ghost Tiger!

    Whoever you are, fatboymedia, thank you for the nice words!

    I got off work early last night and headed down to Santa Barbara locals’ favorite hole-in-the-wall coffee shop/acoustic indie venue, Muddy Waters.

    Radiation City kicked off the night with bright, echoey indie pop led by a sexually-ambivalent, too-short Bermuda shorted Portlandian. Ambient echoes…

  7. "Optimism is a strategy for making a better future. Because unless you believe that the future can be better, it’s unlikely you will step up and take responsibility for making it so.

    - Noam Chomsky (via rationaloptimist)
