The Viewfinder: PT Walkley’s “The Way That You Are”
Sometimes a song and a video just makes you smile. I’d been procrastinating on covering singer/songwriter PT Walkley, whose album Thriller (yeah) came out about two months ago. However, in the midst of doing some research, I came across his video for “The Way That You Are,” and I had to post it. The song has a springlike, etheral vibe, and the video is pure silliness.

Who The Hell Is… Chris North?
Chris North, former member of The Points North , has a disposition somewhat akin to his music. This Jamaica Plain resident is a humble guy, while simultaneously being a no-bullshit and a very straight-to-the-point individual. His music resembles his earnestness, which he’s been writing and performing for several years now, dating back to his solo and collaborative efforts under the moniker of Saint Joe Hazelwood . North’s music has ranged from quite Appalachian folk to experimenting with static and industrial-esque soundscapes. Consistently honing and altering his […]
