This is a tumblelog, kinda like a blog but with short-form, mixed-media posts with stuff I like. Scroll down a bit to start reading, or a bit more to read more about me.
We can’t medicate man to perfection again;
We can’t legislate peace in our hearts.
We can’t educate sin from our souls, it’s been there from the start.
But the blind lead the blind into bottomless pits,
Still we smile and deny that we’re cursed.
But of all our iniquities ignorance may be the worst.
Here’s a little ditty by Justin Townes Earle called “Look The Other Way” performed at the studios of 89.3 The Current. You can find the song on Earle’s new album Nothing’s Gonna Change The Way You Feel About Me Now. I won tickets to his show at The Varsity on Monday night. Rachel and I were able to get a friend to watch Archer at the last minute and we were able to go. It was a lot fun, he puts on a good show!
Check out the new song “Blame” from Andy Hull’s solo project Right Away, Great Captain!. The song is the first track off the upcoming release The Church Of The Good Thief which will be the third and final installment of the Right Away, Great Captain! trilogy out June 12th. I’m really excited about this album, it is quite possibly my most anticipated release of this year!
New Passion Pit song, FINALLY! It’s called “Take a Walk” and will be featured on their new album Gossamerout July 24!

Watch the new video for “Thread” by Twin Cities band Now, Now. I really need to check out this album!
Check out Sucré’s new video for their song “Light Up”!
In honor of Jack White’s solo album,Blunderbussbeing released today, check out this video interview with him discussing the making of the album. I think it’s fascinating how he talks about the different dynamics that are created in the studio with male and female musicians. Also, his thoughts on record labels is pretty interesting.
Just fyi, the album is great!
My name is Darren. I live in Minneapolis with my wife Rachel and our son Archer. I'm a Christian, a lover of music, good food, reading and hanging out with friends. This tumbr is a place where I plan to share things I like and random thoughts that come to me throughout the day.
