With a name like Love, Valentine’s Day is like a national holiday for me. But because I don’t have enough airline miles (yet) to give everyone on the planet a hug, I have a tradition of posting a song on the interwebz every V-Day. It’s kinda like a virtual hug, right? In 2011, we launched [...]

The first time I set eyes on Ashley Dzerigian, she was playing the bass on stage at the 18th St Art Center, dressed up like one of the iconic girls from Robert Palmer’s Addicted To Love music video.

I love taking pictures, simple as that. But I love it even more when those pictures wind up in print. Especially on newsprint, because the New Yorker in me still loves to stay in bed on a lazy morning to read the New York Times Sunday edition. So now that I’m officially a Los Angeleno, [...]
