San Dee-ah-go: Pictures
Posted on 02. Nov, 2009 by Corey Hartford.
The lovely city of San Diego lies just two hours south of my Santa Monica abode (or 6.5 hours south if you hit the 405 anytime between 4am and 9pm). About a fortnight back I made a jaunt to the ol’ SD in order to crash my brother’s family vacation, bringing the trusty Nikon along [...]

Been Too Long: Undergrad Recordings
Posted on 01. Oct, 2009 by Corey Hartford.
Life is funny sometimes. For example, my friend Alex and I were like *this* (fingers crossed) when we were growing up. From kindergarten to eighth grade we attended the same school, crashed the same parties, and generally went about life as good ol’ friends. High school diverted our paths until, without us knowing at the [...]

Vaudeville Style in Austin: Pictures
Posted on 30. Sep, 2009 by Corey Hartford.
August is a great month in Texas for two reasons. First, the pool at my childhood home, which is predominately covered by large trees and thus confined to bone-rattling temperatures throughout most of the year, becomes an enjoyable and temperate 75 degrees (with credit bestowed upon Houston’s kind offering of endless 104 degree days). Secondly, [...]

No Good Reason – Punk-Pop Fusion: Pictures
Posted on 30. Aug, 2009 by Corey Hartford.
Just a few days before my big 2-6 birthday celebration, I had the liberty of catching one particularly pumped-up band in the tucked-away-but-you-should-check-it-out brew house known as the Celtic Pub in Parker, Colorado. Running by the name of No Good Reason, this power trio kicks out tunes you definitely know, but in ways you most [...]

The Drive Home: Early Recordings
Posted on 29. Aug, 2009 by Corey Hartford.
Funk … I love it. You know, all that “bow-chicka-wow-wow” goodness – yeah, that’s the good stuff. Like 13.2 million other fourteen year old boys, Jimmy Page (of Led Zeppelin fame) inspired me to pick up my very first guitar. However, it was funk – with its tasty syncopated licks and righteous ‘wah’ action – [...]

Skate Park(er): Pictures
Posted on 29. Aug, 2009 by Corey Hartford.
Nestled in the midst of beautiful Parker, Colorado, lies a rather unexpected entity – one Bad-A**, city-sponsored skate park. At first I held serious doubt about whether or not the two-and-four wheelin’ dynamos present would open up to a long-haired, camera-totin’ nobody such as myself – but boy o’ boy how they shined. It was [...]

Allman Joy: Early Recordings
Posted on 28. Aug, 2009 by Corey Hartford.
My parents blessed me with the patience and funding necessary for about six months worth of guitar lessons during eighth grade. Soon after, I struck out into the musical world on my own and diverted much of my attention to the art of sound recording (picking up a bass and a couple drums to bang [...]

Oh Joy … Toy Joy!: Pictures
Posted on 28. Aug, 2009 by Corey Hartford.
“Keep Austin Weird” The city doesn’t just print bumper stickers of the term, it flatout lives it. Long-haired hippies and tie-bound business men dine together at Austin Java or organic-fair-trade-mint-mochas, dogs unite on an island of their very own at Red Bud Park, and the ever famous Leslie parades himself around Sixth Street as the [...]
