Quarantine Cocktail Hour

Martin Campbell is a man of many talents and possibly the most DIY dude I've ever known. He is also one of my oldest friends. Music was the seed of our relationship and our obsession with music and culture, as well as our search to find our place in the world,  has bonded us together over the years. Today we talk about how punk rock allowed two slightly oddball dudes to carved out their own little niche in this crazy world. Settle in for the ride. Be easy.

Did you know there used to be sharks in southeast Idaho? Some things are hard to believe, but at least we used to have people we trusted to educate us and give us direction. That has eroded over the years. Have we been hoodwinked? Have we gotten starter? Maybe it's all just a matter of communication. Let's mix up a drink and talk about it? Be easy.

QCH is back with Season 3. Well, it's been about a year since we started this thing, and here we jump back in with musings on the changes brought on by the disruption of the past year. What an odd, and often tragic, gift...to be given a pause on the blurred, racing, sameness of our day-to-day year-to-year. To be forced to face aspects of our world that had previously been washed together and obscured within the monotony of just living. Oh, and a bunch of rad, good times tunes to get your weekend off right. We try to strike a balance. Be easy.

Season Hamilton is an artist residing in Boise. She is also one of the coolest people alive and can bullshit about music like nobody's business. In the QCH Season 2 Finale, we cover kid's music, why the 90's is our generation's Dazed and Confused, and how a show moving into adulthood changed her whole perspective on life. Head's up, we cuss and talk about illegal activities. Earmuffs. Be easy.

It's wild how wilderness can make you feel so small. Can make you reflect and ponder your time and impact while on this Earthly plane. An Earthly plane that seems harder and harder to navigate, with louder and louder voices at the poles telling you how you should navigate. Maybe I'm just getting old, but I don't mind finding my way out in the grey space of the open water as much as I used to. How about you? Be easy.

From the Desert Southwest to the Northern Rockies, it's a vast and lonesome life out here in the inland West. A life and landscape that attracts a certain type of person. For all its faults (geologic puns intended), it's a place well worth settling and an ideal well worth fighting for. Because there's just something rare about the air in a place where eagles dare. Be easy.

This week the weight of the world felt just a little bit lighter, didn't it? Specifically around Wednesday? Still, the last five years have done a lot to sow cynicism in our country. So, take time to feel good, to celebrate livin, and to stop and smell the les fleurs. You deserve it. Be easy.
