"You have to be delusional to be an artist." That’s how Peter Cochrane closes our conversation. We’re sitting across from each other in a quiet Richmond studio, the air thick with pollen and thought. The line lands not as a punchline but as a thesis offered without...
Eirik Solheim made this video using a Canon 5D Mk. II. He explains his process here, fascinating stuff, and not at all helping me resist buying that awesome Canon. Since this is kind of a time lapse, here's a roundup of some of my favorites: Bizarre Market! Hong Kong The Alps San Francisco Her Morning Elegance / Oren Lavie Eirik Solheim made this...

Shot in glorious hi-8 film (a rarity in this day and age), this is the true definition of independent film.

The show starts at 8:30 at The Camel and is sure to be a dancing-on-tables whiskey drinking kind of night. $20 gets you through...
There is a recipe for a guaranteed good time in Richmond, and it involves two main ingredients- the NO BS Brass Band, and... and... wait, sorry. A live performance by NO BS is the only thing you need to have a blast. If you've never seen them live, do so immediately. Their music is high-energy, new-school brass music, with a fantastic catalog of...
This is one of the greatest songs in American history, in my unimpeachable opinion. Joel's biggest hit, and considered by many to be his signature song, speaks deeply to my heart. This video, shot in classic black and white, is rarely seen on modern music television networks, and I'm very glad I found it earlier today. Previous Daily Fix music...
Most car reviews focus on things such as handling, price, gas consumption, reliability, and other essentials of new car purchases. But Top Gear's review of the new Ford Fiesta, which should be available some time next year, goes above and beyond, asking extremely important questions such as What if I get into a car chase with a badguy in a...
