Want to know a little about who is playing intermission at Ignite Boulder 12? It’s John Common and Blinding Flashes of Light.
I could woo you with a list of recent awards they have won, or quotes from reviews like: “By the fifth song, I wanted to join the band.” But for some reason, the most memorable aspect of their story is this: John started playing the guitar when one washed ashore (inside a trunk) on the beaches of his small fishing village in Portugal.
The most important part though, is how they sound. Check this out:
To be honest, I usually don’t listen to the band before the show – but I’m glad I did! They also happen to be opening for Toad & The Wet Sprocket at Chautauqua this Saturday. Want more videos and songs? Check out their website: John Common & Blinding Flashes of Light.

Ever wonder why you see women jogging suggestively? They probably read the same book Anna did. Spoiler: have you ever seen anyone convert their paycheck to cash then photograph themselves in a bathtub full of one dollar bills? You will…
Whether the result is an open relationship or a floating mass of plastic twice the size of the United States, putting others needs ahead of your own is a slippery slope.
The tech world isn’t just for youngsters. Learn the benefits of respecting your elders – they’ve probably written an entire RPG in less characters than your last tweet.
