At the end of my recent interview with SeepeopleS band leader Will Bradford, he mentioned that before me he’d spoken to Fox Radio News in St. Louis. Knowing that, it explains why, when I asked about the influences for their latest EP, “HATE,” he cautiously said, “Certainly what’s going on in the world today had […]
She flies with her own wings. Could Oregon have a more fitting state motto? In 1987, then-Secretary of State Barbara Roberts introduced a bill to change Oregon’s motto from the previous Latin version, Alis Volat Propitis, to its English version, “She flies with her own wings.” Kind of a fitting move for the woman who […]
“Those bra-burning, hairy-arm-pitted women! Leaving their husbands to try and make statements! Those FEMINISTS!” 180 years. That’s how long women have (officially) been fighting for equality. Since its early European incarnation, feminism and the women’s movements have been responsible for: a women’s right to vote, work, divorce and choose. Thousands of women (and men) pounded […]
There have been several recent articles in industry literature on the possibility of our next housing crisis occurring as baby boomers sell off their homes en masse.

Grab a mop to clean up your mind, because I’m about to blow it. What 4/20 is not: It’s not the following bullshit. I’m not sure how […]
After a one-year hiatus, Chicks with Picks returns to the Volcanic Theatre. Stacie Johnson, lead singer of Broken Down Guitars, has organized the event, now in its sixth year, to feature and highlight female-fronted bands. “This year it’s all about passion, it truly is,” Johnson says. “Coming back from the break of not having it […]
