On the Dial | Steve Erickson

It should come as little surprise to anyone familiar with our press, that I am a huge fanboy of Steve Erickson.

Design of the Week | Lana Del Rey

Yes, she is a singer/songwriter, but Lana Del Rey is more than a musician. Lana Del Rey has become a brand. Her music toes the line of mainstream pop and indie rock, but her image and style put her in a league of her own. She isn't necessarily doing anything new, but cashing in on themes of melancholia and 1950s/60s American pop culture.

Vacationing

We just returned from a long vacation in the Catskill Mountains, where we went on long runs, long hikes, and spent long amounts of time in the hot tub.

Music Music Music Part II

I recently wrote about one of my favorite musicians/bands, Dolfish. Music Music Music Part II features me shamelessly plugging my own band, Emily & the Complexes. Our new album Baby, Get To It Before The Heartbreak dropped TODAY.

Music Music Music

Let's talk about Dolfish. The man behind the music, Max Sollisch, might be one of the sweetest people I've ever met. His new album, Foreclosure American Dreams, dropped today. It's been four years in the making, and it was well worth the wait.

Design of the Week | Stranger Things

I admittedly cringe at nostalgia, particularly when it's being referenced or practiced by those in my generation. It's tough to hear someone in their mid-30s/40s talking about videogames. Or wearing a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles shirt. Or getting sweaty for the new Star Wars series. So I went into Netflix's new series, Stranger Things, rather apprehensive.

Pitchfork Re-Cap: Rise of the Temporary Tattoo Artist

Last weekend, I had the pleasure of going to Pitchfork Music Festival in Chicago. We were joined by some other amazing indie presses at the coolest tent in the park—Book Fort. I spent most of the weekend behind the table selling books and applying temporary tattoos. Here are a few standout moments from my experience (other than the obvious):

Design of the Week: Michigan vs. Ohio, The Rivalry Continues

The craft beer movement has hit almost every town across America by now. We here at Two Dollar Radio draw a lot of inspiration from kick-ass label artwork. Because this is America and we make everything a competition, I thought we could compare craft beer bottles/cans from Ohio and Michigan. We all get along, don't we?
