“The Book of Love is long and boring,” Stephin Merritt once famously crooned, but Dawuna interprets that book a little differently. Maybe he just skips straight to the good parts: Love’s Arp, his second full length album, is a gratifying rumination on the “L” word, wandering its trippy labyrinths, exploring its rocky edges, and smoothing out its warm silk sheets.
It’s a wonder this album ever came to be: Glass Lit Dream turned up on this very site in 2020, and its rapturous reception catapulted him into rarefied critical air. But just when things were beginning to gain momentum, Dawuna was bedridden by a traumatic brain injury which left him with amnesia; he also struggled through a bumpy divorce.

Devagar Que A Vida É Curta translates loosely as ‘Go slowly as life is short’. The title track does anything but go slowly, a frantic 43 seconds where 
In the first era of rock & roll, while country music was a clear part of the DNA of rockabilly and many other white rock sounds, there were few things considered less hip than what was still widely known as hillbilly music, and rock & roll was what the hepcats liked, even if they lived below the Mason-Dixon line. It was with the rise of folk-rock that rock musicians who appreciated the soulful, emotionally honest approach of the best country music gained an audience, and by the mid-’60s, a new breed of rockers were paying open homage to classic country music, though it would take Nashville much longer to reciprocate.

Based in Hillsborough, CA, The Bridge School provides support to children between the ages of three and 13 years of age with extensive speech and physical disabilities, working in tandem with its affiliate charity, Bridge to Life, which…
