Wise advice, perfectly timed

What the **** happened to freedom of speech?

Last Day – Kollektiv Turmstrasse
I was first introduced to Kollektiv Turmstrasse some four years ago when at Cocoon’s now defunct Green and Blue festival. I was literally blown away. Their set surged through a toe-tapping beginning to a point where the crowd – myself included – were wholly lost in euphoric dreamland. On this chilly February morning, ‘Last Day’…

Quit your job. Follow your dreams.
That statement holds true for this week… I’ve thought it, had it said to me, and have uttered the words to at least one other. Thanks to the Brooklyn-based band Baby Alpaca, I’ve now also found the perfect visual and audio expression of this phrase; one we’ll all want to embrace at least once in our…
