One of my all-time favorite bands is breaking up. The Lucksmiths’ songs never fail to bring a smile to my face.

Liz Spikol was born in Philadelphia sometime in the 20th century. She started writing about her experience as a person with mental illness in 1999, while employed at Philadelphia Weekly as the paper’s managing editor. Aside from serving as that paper’s web editor, music editor, staff writer, senior editor, executive editor and a host of other random roles that she couldn’t make up her mind about, she has also worked as a Spanish teacher, as a Certified Peer Specialist during Philly’s system-wide transformation and as a communications specialist for a prison reform organization. Currently, she works at the Mental Health Association of Southeastern Pennsylvania and writes book reviews for PW. This blog — named one of the Top 10 Bipolar Blogs of 2007 and 2008 by PsychCentral — is about medications, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, OCD, PTSD, SAD (and many other acronyms), mad pride, Big Pharma, celebrities, hospitals, stigma and the recovery movement. And other stuff.
The Lucksmiths sound good; it’s a shame they’re breaking up.
Thanks Liz, I liked that. I get the feeling there is a lot of really great music being written that most people will never hear because we are drowning in a sea of media and the good stuff doesn’t seem to survive. I think you have good taste. Dave
Minimalist Drum Kits ALWAYS Rule!
They kind of remind me of the band featured on this Good Magazine video. The band is called Violens.
