Brass Key PhotographyLeah Lou & the Two Left Shoes.
After releasing its first EP, “This Music Belongs to You,” this year, Leah Lou & The Two Left Shoes — Leah “Lou” Tater (vocals, guitar) and Daniel Lee (bass) — is looking forward to its full-length debut. “The EP is good, but it’s overproduced and just not what I was looking for,” said Tater, 22, a 2007 Mayfield High School graduate.”This time around, it’s going to be a lot more laid back. We play a garbage can and a tambourine, so all the drum sounds on it will be from us. I just feel like it’s going to be a lot more real this time.” That real sound is buoyed by an indie pop aesthetic and Tater’s cute but dark vocals that detail relationships gone bad.

A co-worker who had to pull lots of green tomatoes off her vine offered me a huge bag of her harvest. I’m thrilled, but I don’t quite know what to do with all these green tomatoes. Make a marmalade? A soup? Maybe a ketchup?

Are you and your partner living in different towns because of your jobs and really don’t get to meet that often? I am sure it will be difficult to express how much you love each other and it is definitely going to be boring to say I miss you often even if you so really miss him/her. Talking dirty is sure to express your love on each other and it will definitely make your partner realize your expectations and that you are really longing for him/her to get back home.

Maple Heights, Ohio — Joe Walsh, Steve Miller, John Fogerty, Brad Paisley and a bunch of other big-name guitar slingers should be really glad that the heavy tube amps of the 1960s made basement-band guitarists reluctant to haul ‘em around more than absolutely necessary.
In the weekend-warrior band world, then as now, practice almost always was in the basement at the drummer’s house. After all, he’s got the most gear, and his setup and tear-down time would seriously eat into rehearsal minutes otherwise.
So when teenage drummer Michael Dominic Zaite, inspired by the Beatles and Ed Sullivan, launched his high school band in the ’60s, the guys met in his Garfield Heights basement.
