"Henry Nordstrom EP," Henry Nordstrom
Henry Nordstrom very well could be the saddest man in Spokane. Or at least the sleepiest. On his new EP, the singer-songwriter is bleary and laconic, lazily musing over something that’s really got him down in the dumps. Nordstrom sings through his exasperation and frustration on the first track, pushing himself toward facing some personal demon. The second track takes a step back. Nordstrom is calmer, cooler, ready to talk. It’s simple and sparse — it’s just Henry, a guitar, a quiet organ and the occasional cymbal-bass drum couplet. On this self-titled record, Henry Nordstrom asks very little of his listener — stripping away anything that might muddy up the message here. It’s a record done simply, calmly and very, very nicely.
Henry Nordstrom’s CD release show at Empyrean on Tuesday, July 28, at 7 pm. Tickets: $7. All-ages. Call 838-9819.

Gary's hairy balls
You know that the photographer that the Inlander hires chooses where to take the pictures right? The artist has about .001% to do with anything about the photo shoot.
ps. You have hairy balls. Please shave them before you go dropping them in everyones mouth.
Gee that alley looks familiar
Ohhhhh, this guy must be so mysterious. He hangs out in one of the many dim lit alleys contained within the Gotham-like metropolis of downtown Spokane. How brooding and esoteric he must be to choose to have his photo taken in such a place, right? WRONG! This is one of two de facto spots that every single musician/artist/filmaker in Spokane uses as a backdrop in an attempt to portray themselves as having a kinship with downtrodden hobos and carefree train hoppers, (the other spot for these alternative glamour shots being the alley directly on the other side of the tracks-affectionately known to Aqua Net drinking bums as 'glass alley'). Guess what? Its been done a million times before and you are not fooling anyone with this cliche facade.
ps. If you couldn't tell, those are condo balconies behind your head. +5 HP to street cred. Next time use the other alley.
your crazy
Gary your off your rocker nuts. You think too much...
