Acoustic Cities: Lisbon
Bloop Records Festival at an Abandoned Hospital in Lisbon. Photo by Mike Long. Arriving in Lisbon, which sits on the heels of eastern Europe, felt like landing on another planet. The city is covered in multicolored tiles, and the streets are like small, daunting mountains.The tiles and marble that cover the city lend it a unique acoustic sound. Walking through the streets sounds like standing in large, empty theater. Belém Tower, Sintra, Lisbon. Photo by Mike Long. Compar

Acoustic Cities: Berlin
Street performer in front of Berlin Cathedral. Photo by Mike Long. Trying to understand what’s happening musically in Berlin is like trying to eat one dish from every country in one sitting: You’ll fail, but you’ll learn a lot on the journey. Berlin encourages musicians from various countries and unique styles to join its bustling streets, resulting in an eclectic mix that’s anything but boring. The city has a reputation for being an electronic music hub. It’s said that tec

Harold & Maudecast Comic-Con Diaries: Day 3
Jason Momoa aka Aquaman in Hall H at Comic-Con. Photo by Sarah Mason Our third day at Comic-Con was spent almost entirely in Hall H. Was the five straight hours of standing in the press cage on concrete worth it? We'll tell ya tomorrow if we're still able to communicate. Here's what we got to see -- Warner Bros. started the day off with the Justice League. But before they took the stage Jason Momoa made a rock star entrance as Aquaman. This was undoubtedly the most exciting

Acoustic Cities: Transylvania
Alexandrina band @ Form Space in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. Photo by Mike Long. The word “Transylvania” usually conjures up images of a giant castle, possibly some bats, a sickle-like moon and almost certainly a vampire or two. In fact, Transylvania is a diverse region in Romania about the size of Louisiana that’s full of vibrant scenery and dark music. Despite the fact that vampires are tied to the town of Braşov (where the Dracula-esque “Bran’s Castle” is located), the mystique

Acoustic Cities: Budapest
Budapest, Scenes from the Citadel. Photo by Mike Long. The crumbling architecture, overgrown parks and rough but welcoming vibe of Budapest embraced me as an old friend. First the city felt cool and distant, then warm and comfortable--as if it mean to welcome me all along. Both cities (Buda and Pest, which reside on either side of the Danube River), brought a me a surprising gift: eclectic jazz. It seems like everywhere you turn in Budapest you hear jazz music the most peop

Acoustic Cities: Vienna
In the Wiener Konzerhaus in Vienna rests a large frowning bust of Beethoven. He is not happy to see me or anyone else. In my time exploring the acoustic and musical waters of Vienna, I’ve found that the celebrated masters of classical Vienna still hold influence today, just not in the way you might think. What comes to mind when you think of Vienna? You might list composers, Mozart, Haydn, Strauss, Mahler, Schubert, classical music in general, opera, Sigmund Freud, okay Arno
