Artist Collaboration – Pretty Dreams of Mud Puddles
So it’s no secret that we’re a bunch of frustrated artists here at Altfanclub. So it was a delight and a privilege to work with one of our alumni, Jeremy Serwer, on a poetry / video piece before we left Seattle. Enjoy (and feel free to share if it’s your thing!)
Album Review – V, The Horrors
Never Let Me Down Again The Horrors V (2017) Wolf Tone/Caroline International U.K. Indie rapscallions, The Horrors, return with their 5th studio album. From the start, an Industrial veneer encapsulates the entire LP. The similarities to Depeche Mode aren’t just tired peddled cliches, it’s actually a great mapping tool to see just where this band…

Tobias the Owl: Science is Cool
I love Tobias the Owl. I really really REALLY love the music that pours forth from this astounding collective. I edited this video with a faraway grin plastered across my face and felt a bit sad when it was done. Do you think I’d do well if I started a crowdfunding campaign so I could…
Tobias the Owl Achieves Immortality
It’s always a sign of a good Saturday afternoon when you get to witness great music and weird, wonderful conversation about how you basically become someone new on a molecular level once every seven years, with people who aren’t even high. Tobias the Owl had a Shakespearian introduction to me. I would hear the name…
Liquorish – a new track feat. BA the Scribe

Share, love the little emoji things he placed by the contact info below like a proper young person. I’m impressed! LIQUORISH (13th…
Star Anna pt. 2: Big Bad Wolf
I woke up this morning with an incredible lack of enthusiasm, which I brought back to life miraculously by editing this video of Star Anna and her band playing her amazing song Big Bad Wolf. She truly has one of my favorite voices in the world! It was such a pleasure to edit. I then…
Star Anna
This was the very first blog post I ever recorded based on a dream. Somehow Star Anna managed to sneak her way into my subconscious, possibly through her hauntingly beautiful songs, and the fact that I’m in Seattle and in Seattle you hear about Star Anna a lot/ You hear about her around here, most…
