off the subject: ch, ch, ch, chia! “You guys are the salt of the Earth,” Wino said, visibly thankful, addressing us lucky hesh folk at the DNA Lounge last Sunday night. Saint Vitus had already played a long show of old favorites; we cheered for an encore, and they happily obliged: “We don’t [...]  Celebratory! I never thought the legendary Sleep would play again: After professing my obsessive love for Black Sabbath years ago, my always-watching-out-for-my-musical-tastes friend burned me a copy of Holy Mountain. Holy shit, I was hooked. I was surprised, then thrilled, then bummed in May 2009 when the threesome reunited to play All Tomorrow’s [...] Some old-school Fleetwood Mac (the blues band, not the blonder, LA incarnation) to accompany your read: Station Man Earl Gray off the edge of a wildflowered trail and into the violet fog Rode up to north through Marin County a couple weeks ago to escape the hoards of douchy drunkards (left over from [...] Soundtrack: Not To Touch The Earth A Feast Of Friends Wild Child At The Doors’ 1969 show in Miami, Florida, Jim Morrison was arrested and convicted for, among other things, simulating oral copulation on Robby Krieger’s guitar.

Such was the case the other day at the South Yuba River (elev. 2,000) as I lagged behind my friends, snapping photos of the mostly-unfamiliar wildflowers edging the Hoyt Trail. Not only was the breeze [...] I visited the Giacomini wetlands last week, a restoration project up in Tomales Bay. The land was an historic tidal marsh that had been operated as a cattle ranch for the past century. A network of dikes and levees disconnected Lagunitas Creek from the ocean, a view towards the Pacific: from pasture [...] How do you find people who love plants and heavy metal? It seems a stupid question – even asking it sort of implies the two are mutually exclusive (they’re not!). Phyte Club is a venue for people who want to geek out on botany and bang their heads to brutal music, who get the [...] I don’t think I’ve been so excited about a new band since I first saw the Fucking Champs and High on Fire at 12 Galaxies (R.I.P) years ago (and neither of those bands were at all new, I just was).
