Digital Crates: Brika
In an entertainment world where every detail of everyone’s life is put on display and everything is often over-marketed (seemingly at the expense of the actual music created) it was a bit alarming when I struggled to find background on Brika, and Art House Records, the record label that released...
Art Of Life On Kurt Cobain Documentary
Second episode in the reincarnation of Art of Life, a web series that I do with Steve Slotow. This one is on the documentary about Kurt Cobain - Montage of Heck.
