Surf Kayak Monkey Face

My Surf Kayak Monkey Face from Keith Wikle on Vimeo.

I think surf kayaking is cool. Luckily, I know I am not. Try not to look in the mirror too often, you may laugh at what you see. This was a great day surf kayaking on Lake Michigan this August. Steep six foot waves [...]

Bon Iver Creature Fear on Black Cab Sessions

Bon Iver from Black Cab Sessions on Vimeo.

Bon Iver and his Wisconsin winter heartbreak speak volumes to me. This song in particular Creature Fear speaks to the highs and lows one wants to express but can’t. These Black Can Sessions seem to capture the best out of so many artists. The Black [...]

St. Vincent, and her demo of Paris is burning from the album, Marry Me.

I really like her voice and her sound. Been listening to this all day.
