Is Bipolar Hereditary or Genetic?
For the first time in my life I saw my dad cry. Looking back on it, I figure he probably forgot to invite them. Dad didn't know he was bipolar. Back in 1969, no one knew he was bipolar. The depression that followed hit him hard.

How Lucky Are You?
Growing up, I did not consider myself to be a lucky person. I often heard my father saying things like "Everything I buy breaks. I have the worst luck." When I was nine, I won a holiday raffle at school for a plastic candy cane filled with M&Ms. I was sick that day, the only day I missed that year, and the teacher re-drew names. For years, I saw this as proof I wasn't lucky. I started to believe, just like my dad, that I had the worst luck and became anxious about trying new things.

I Want to Get High
Some time ago, I sent a text message to someone I know. I casually asked where they'd been because I hadn't heard from them in a while. In response, I got a string of messages. Each new paragraph starts a new text message. They are posted below. The only changes that I made were to correct the spelling and to remove a few words that could identify aspects of the person and their drug of choice. While I have this person's verbal permission to post the messages, I think the theme is universal to d

PiLam Shoegaze Festival Review: Screen Vinyl Image/Ceremony/Stellarscope/The Sounds of Kaleidoscope

Fri 17 Sep – Ceremony, Screen Vinyl Image, Stellarscope, Sounds Of Kaleidoscope
I got off from work at 5PM, battled traffic on I-95 from Wilmington to Southern Philadelphia suburb of Havertown. I met up with my band mates, Bob Forman and Robert DeFlaviis. We packed my Nissan Xterra and headed towards Philadelphia.

Despite it being a Friday night in the City of Brotherly Love traffic was light and we got to the PiLam in University City Philadelphia in no time. We circled around the block to park in the back alley of the PiLam. We met up with Alex Nic, the organizer of the event, and we discussed the logistics for the equipment load in. As we head out to download our gear we cross paths with Paul Baker and John Fedowitz of Ceremony, they were also bringing gear in.

Once we were done with the fun part of being in a band (being your own roadie), we all went to Copa Banana for some Caribbean inspired food, drinks, and Coronas. The service and food were very good but it took some time to get our bill. We all get back to the PiLam to find out that missed most of Space Ghost Cowboys, who had been added to the bill as openers at the last minute! We met with Kim and Jake of Screen Vinyl Image and caught up with each other. Later on in the night I had a nice chat with the nice folks of Space Ghost Cowboys.

Stellarscope took the stage and played a high octane set to a dim red light. It was intimate with the fans all at the edge of the stage. Soon after, The Sounds of Kaleidoscope took the stage and brought their ethereal jam antics to the next level. They swirled through the stage like the high frequency sounds they were creating. Ceremony followed with their bombastic post-punk shoegaze infused sound, the visuals synchronized to the beats, and the high energy performance of Paul and John. Screen Vinyl Image was headlining this sonically charged bill. They brought the roof down with their synth heavy electro dreampop, fuzzed out guitars, and tantalizing video imagery.

It was 2 AM at this point, all the people that attended were buzzing with excitement, buying merchandise, and talking to the bands. We reminisced of the days of the PopNoise Festival and the Walls of SoundFest. Everyone was so friendly and loved the event. We then loaded our vehicles; we said our good byes to the people in attendance as well as in the other bands. We parted ways into the darkness of a brisk summer night with stars in our hair.

And I said to myself… “It was a great night!”- Tom Lugo
