Daniel Kohn
Ever since he first heard the opening chords to "Smells Like Teen Spirit," at the age of 11, Daniel Kohn has been hooked on music. Born in New York City, raised in the music hotbed of Long Island and currently residing in Los Angeles, Kohn has been writing since high school, when he realized he could get CDs for free. He's a sucker for '90s music, especially that from Seattle. Like a small minority of Americans, he likes football of the European variety, especially Liverpool. When he's not chasing down bands, you can find him at your local pub with a pint of Carlsberg, usually at ungodly hours cheering on his beloved Reds.

Bouncing around the stages early on, the 3 p.m. hour gave us a glimpse of a ris...

Saturday, 04 August 2012 11:00pm
Day two got off to an auspicious start, pretty much picking up where day one left off. With perhaps the most complete lineup of the three days, Saturday proved to be an adventure in both stamina and sound. Somehow, the early afternoon weather was hotter and more humid than Friday, which may sound impossible, yet it became the story of the story. En...
Lollapalooza Day One Recap
Friday, 03 August 2012 10:58pm

Album Review: Jesca Hoop, The House That Jack Built
Tuesday, 31 July 2012 4:16pm

What is known, and should who aren’t familiar should know, is that Hoop has hobnobbed with some of the biggest names in the biz. She’s cut her teeth by working with the iconic Tom Waits (for whose kids she was the nanny for), Peter Gabriel (who sang ba...
