Happy 70th Birthday to Brian Wilson and Paul McCartney

This past Monday June 18th was Sir. Paul McCartney's 70th birthday and this past Wednesday June 20th marked Beach Boy legend Brian Wilson's 70th Birthday. We at the Whatever blog would like to wish both Sir Macca and Brian Wilson a happy belated birthday. It's hard to believe that both Paul McCartney and Brian Wilson are now 70 years old they both seem so ageless!

Northside 2012 wrap up

A friend said of Northside 2012 "CMJ, SXSW no thanks, Northside you are the music festival for me" no truer words have been spoken! Northside 2012 was a blast, this year I got to see other Northside showcases besides my own and everything I saw was amazing. And I got to learn how Jameson Whiskey is made, Jameson sponsored a whiskey lounge at Northside this year & they sent over a cooper from Ireland to show us how their whiskey is made.

My own two Northside showcases went off without a hitch and where pretty successful, thanks to all who helped me plan them! Below are some random shots from Northside 2012 some from my showcases others from roaming around. I'm counting the days till Northside 2013!
