The End of the Den

Album Reviews

Paul McCartney

Kisses On The Bottom

Chad W. Lutz

At first listen, the album is slow. McCartney’s voice sounds like he’s been kicked in the throat a few hundred times, but I suppose a lifetime of smoking and wailing at full pitch will do that to a person. The styles are simple and easy to get comfortable with. There were times where I wasn’t sure if I was listening to a Paul McCartney album or a Miles Davis EP.

If Walls Could Talk

Chad W. Lutz

The year: 1891. Ohio native Benjamin Harrison is President of the United States. The Civil War ended a mere 26 years ago and the turn of the 20th century is just around the corner. In Cleveland, buzz is going around about a new ballpark, League Park, for the local baseball team. Formerly the Cleveland Blues (possibly all-too apropos name of a Cleveland sports team) the Cleveland Spiders are rumored to win the pennant this year, led by a young up-and-comer by the name of Cy Young.

I Had A Vision (and I Saw It In Sharonville)

Visions of Light Psychic Festival

Throughout the history of man, there have been about as many theories and ideas about what moves the planets and stars and the meaning to be derived therein as there have been days on the calendar. Early philosophers like Plato and Socrates looked inward and documented the power of the human mind.

In My Ohio

On William Elliot Whitmore As Prenatal Care

Darren C. Demaree

Around three years ago I went to The Basement to see one of my favorites, William Elliot Whitmore, live for the first time. I was to interview the Iowan before the show, and because I had to be down there so early, the only photographer I could roust up was my very pregnant wife, Emily.

It Came Out of the Sea

Chad W. Lutz

At the moment, Japanese scientists grapple with the question of what to do with the colossal aquatic invaders and what, if any, serious threat they may pose.

Glamping

Rachel Mooney

Even the words of Henry David Thoreau couldn't lure some novice campers into the forest-draped hills for a relaxing weekend get-a-way.  With that being said, Americans have always loved the great outdoors and glamping, or "glamorous camping," offers a perfect solution.
