The time has come; I will now be hosting an hour radio show on 90.3FM WAIH (SUNY Potsdam College Radio Station). From 8-9pm, I’ll be playing a variety of stuff that is lesser known to the general public but is still quite cool. Anything from the Benevento/Russo Duo to Charlie Hunter, Porcupine Tree to Gordian [...]

On Friday, [...]

I don’t usually write about things that I haven’t completely watched/listened to/done but this is an exception. NPR Music is streaming the entire final concert of Radiohead’s most recent tour in support of In Rainbows. It’s a 2hr 5min broadcast that I’m about halfway through and it’s great.

We decided it was time for an afternoon trip to Allen’s Falls today. The weather was nice; high in the upper 60’s/low 70’s and partly cloudy. We drove out there with some guitars and my djembe to jam for a bit. We played some tunes then decided to go exploring around the area. After climbing [...]

This evening, Alice and I went to the 1844 House in Potsdam, NY for dinner. It was a quaint little house on Rt. 11 with amazing food.
We arrived at 5:05pm and were promptly seated in a room just off of the entrance. We sat at a small square table in the corner of the [...]
