On Good Friday of this year, I was in a three-car accident in Florida. After a trip to the emergency room, several tests and some morphine, it was determined that I had a lot of bruising, but nothing was broken. For the last six months, I’ve been healing from this bruising.
The second day of the Positivus music festival was a blur. After a cold night, the sun was unexpectedly hot in the afternoon. The set by American singer-songwriter John Grant (who lives in Iceland...
It’s 2:30 in the morning on this festival on the edge of the Gulf of Riga. The wind is blowing, the temps have dropped, and beachside activities have been cancelled. But otherwise the festival...
After first coming to Riga in 1999, then arriving back here in 2008 to find that, really, not many things had changed to my American eyes, I find the current speed of change in...

On the Friday night of Psych Fest, 2013, the weather was perfect and the bands were groovy.
The first band I saw after driving straight from Houston was the middle-eastern sounds of Tinariwen.
This was followed by a blistering performance by the Suuns, which was just as intense as their show during SXSW 2013.
I’ve been to a lot of music festivals, but I’d never been to Austin Psych Fest before this weekend.
In many ways the festival felt a lot more hippie and a lot less corporate than a lot of music festivals.
(It would be harder to get much more corporate than South By Southwest or the Austin City Limits Music Fesival!)

It might be the 6th year of the Austin Psych Fest, but I’ve never been to the party. However, I have seen some of the bands who are playing at the festival play in the past, and I’m looking forward to seeing them play again this weekend!
Austin Psych Fest is this weekend, April 26-28 2013, at Carson Creek Ranch.
If you are, er, directionally challenged like me, this should strike fear into your heart. Or at least get you to add an extra hour into your festival planning!
