an oral history of sunburned hand of the man

I’m from Massachusetts and Sunburned blew my mind when I first became aware of them in high school around 2004. They are a collective of musicians that have performed improvised music together for the past 30 years. The bands line up is constantly changing and no two sets are the same. I was super excited to see that the blog Aquarium Drunkard took on the task of documenting the band and I’ve been chipping away at the 7 part podcast. It’s great

this feature about the shins i wrote for magnet

Hard to believe it's nearly twenty years old now. Three things stand out for me, reading it again today. Took like 3 months of reporting, or so, to get it all done. 1) The Courtney Love vignette from the Shins' show at the Hollywood Bowl (it was all very Ab Fab and unintentionally hilarious). She is every bit the piece of work she was described to be. 2) James was living in a house in Portland, OR that Elliott Smith used to live in. We smoked pot in the basement and he showed me the washer/dryer that was basically where Elliott four-tracked the "Roman Candle" album. 3) He had a guitar hanging in his home studio that had "You'll be Dead" spray painted on it -- a line from Star Wars (I think his brother, an artist I worked with at Starbucks, did that). I used to have a photo of that but IDK what happened to it. It was a fun era to be writing about rock music.
