ANDY VALENTINE: March 2011
http://andyvalentinewrites.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 16, 2011. Green Skies, Collective Walnuts. Oh yeah, and bring a sound recorder, they encourage all-access recording of their shows so that the word may be spread! Two days later, Eugene’s own Walnut Collective will hit the Oak St. Speakeasy to throw down their latest garage-haze madness. When I sat down to take a listen, I said to myself: “So what does Walnut Collective have to offer? So what does Walnut Collective have to offer? Fucking anything you want. Enough said.

ANDY VALENTINE: Will the Real Pop Culture Please Stand Up?
http://andyvalentinewrites.blogspot.com/2011/11/will-real-pop-culture-please-stand-up.html
Tuesday, November 8, 2011. Will the Real Pop Culture Please Stand Up? Retromania and the search for originality. We live in a culture dominated by high speeds, convenience and ever-expanding eclecticism. Where significant cultural movements once gripped the world, fads and trends now cut shallow ripples in the fabric of local society. Reynolds possesses a wicked sense of humor, too: It’s lines like “to venerate artworks from the past was like wasting one’s elan vital on something inert ...Beneath the rug...

ANDY VALENTINE: Acoustica!
http://andyvalentinewrites.blogspot.com/2011/11/acoustica.html
Thursday, November 17, 2011. On a note more pertinent where stomping is concerned, The Devil Makes Three also make an appearance in Eugene this week, and if any of you are outside braving the rain and want to stay warm, this band knows how to throw down a rabble-rouser. So what do the cold and the damp mean for your winter listening? It shouldn’t change a thing. Get off your couch and go jig to some smooth-ass bluegrass. The rain will still be waiting for you when the shows are over. The Best Places Ever.
