I found this odd shot in my photos...I believe it's the elusive image of the Fauxker.

R.E.Memory: R.E.M.'s Bloomington album

This is an article I wrote for the Bloomington Independent back in 2001, as part of the paper's CultureShock 15th-anniversary issue. I'd be really interested in hearing any other stories about the band's stay in Bloomington during the spring of 1986: R.E.Memory: R.E.M.'s Bloomington Album Fifteen years ago I came home and told a friend I'd just heard R.E.M.… Continue

RIP Joe Martin

I was just perusing IMN & ran into a thread regarding the tragic death of Joe Martin, a musician & avid supporter of the local music, film & arts community. I saw him at almost every show I ever went to in town. He was always interesting to talk with & such a positive guy. The last time I saw him was at the LP Memorial show at Radio Radio. He will certainly be missed. http://www.kokomotribune.com/local/local_story_199112200.html http://www.myspace.com/joemartinmusic… Continue

Who's the fake Coker?

The Steve Coker that joined the site is clearly a fake. But who could it be?

A little ditty

Ever since I found this site I've had Jack and Diane running though my head. Well not incessantly, that would drive me mad, but I heard it recently when I was in the States a few weeks ago. Its a catchy song .. all that hard-luck small town Americana with big guitars, hand claps and Phil Collinsish multitrack drums, very 80s and very Indiana. And John Cougar Mellencamp made a career after that on the same theme .. but his heart is in the right place, with the little man, the rabble rouser who ge… Continue

Escape from Planet Coker. I found a screen shot from the Movie even!

Naptown is Love, pt. 1

Let tourists and travel writers call it "Indy." I've loved "Naptown" for as long as I can remember, a lovingly derogatory term for Indiana's capital city, along the lines of how the English call England "Old Blighty." A term that originated in the 1920s for jazz and blues groups who would lay over for months at a time to gig on… Continue

Duncan's delivery date

I found the flier from my party where Duncan gave birth the second time. The date was July 11, 1987. I'll post it this weekend. It features my all time favorite picture of Steve and Chris ...

Margot Live at The Irving (Multitracked on12/30/06)

Way back on 12/30/06, I had the pleasure of recording Margot & The Nuclear So and So's at The Irving Theater. It was an all-ages show with about 850 in attendance. We had spent Christmas down in Atlanta, where my family lives & drove back up to Indy the day of the show. Christian Taylor, who was set to be one of the opening acts, was also down in Georgia over Christmas. We met up on the 29th & he rode back to Indy with us. I had left all of my recording gear at Queensize before taki… Continue

Zerfas LP (Indianapolis 1973) reissued... again

John Sheets left a very nice post about his record scrounging adventures that produced a very nice original copy of the Zerfas LP that was later sold for something north of $1,000. The LP had had an odd history since the 1990s. It was reissued for the very first time on vinyl only in a numbered pressing of 500 copies (of which about 350 were actually sold) taken from the original master tapes and done in a lovely package witha poster of old photos and a band history and a nice essay about the ba… Continue

My dear sister and former Arson Garden collaborator April Combs and I will be doing a midwestern tour in August, including dates in both Bloomington (August 8 at Bear's Place, with the excellent Gentleman Caller) and Indianapolis (Aug 9 - venue TBA), and Chicago (Aug 10 - a house concert at the home of L. Wyatt - details to come.) We hope you'll come see us...

Yahoo User's Choice - THANK YOU!

Well... we didn't win Yahoo's "User's Choice" - but we came damn close. I just want to say thank you so very much to everyone who took the time to vote for me. My supporters at Yahoo Music tell me we did incredibly well - a close second is especially unusual for an independent artist. So... thank you, my friends. It's so cool that you made the effort on my behalf - I really appreciate it. Also, an extra big thanks to Jeb and PJ and Musical Family Tree, the best music scene website in the countr… Continue
