If you love Notes from Chris, meet here at 4pm

New Miles Kurosky video – Dog in the Burning Building

So, I love Beulah. And, I also love Miles Kurosky, the band’s former frontman (”former” only because the band broke up years ago). His new album, ‘The Desert of Shallow Effects” is great. Becky and I saw him play last night in NYC and had the most fun at a show that wasn’t of Montreal [...]
