I sometimes think back to how often I made my family listen to the Do You Feel and Hello, Good Friend albums on repeat during my teen years. I was angsty, and it made for good road trip music. And over the years, I've been nostalgic for those albums as The Rocket...

dodie @ marathon music works

Dodie blissfully treated us to an evening of honest lyricism and simple--but far from boring--ukulele jams. It is a unique experience to see a YouTube star become an in-real-life star, and oftentimes the wonder and awe doesn't translate the same past the computer...
