I'm down to a DOD Flashback Fuzz, a Rat, a Maxon overdrive (generic Tube Screamer, used for a clean boost) a Boss 6 band footswitch EQ, and a Morley volume pedal. I sure would like to have a Memory Man.

One of the beauties of aging is constantly learning less is more. Look, I'm a poet!

I rocked the flerb last night, bro! It worked beautifully. Sometimes I miss having six different EH modulation effects running at once, but I just needed to simplify in my middle age.

I checked out Landlocked when I was in Bloomington last year, and it's a great place. We have a couple good ones here - Ear X tacy and Underground Sounds . . . though I do believe Landlocked would have liberated even more money from my wallet, giv...

In Memory of Scarcity

Since my work directly involves delivery/distribution of music to listeners, I've given a great deal of thought over the past several years to the way things have changed and are continuing to change. We're quickly moving towards a new reality where all existing recorded music is available to everyone all the time, which has been more or less inevitable since the distribution of music via the Internet became possible. There are many issues that need to be resolved, such as compulsory licensing s… Continue

Mock Orange

I was on the phone with a musician client today, a veteran of the So Cal emo/punk scene. I mentioned that I'm from Indiana, and he immediately asked if I knew the band Mock Orange from Evansville. He said they were one of his favorite bands, and that they'd been around since the early '90s!

This did my head in, because I don't recall having ever heard of them. I assume they're an emo band or something like that - does anyone know anything about them? Are they worth checking out (or getting on t… Continue

North Manchester, Indiana

A client of mine, a band called Dawes from L.A., told me about a fantastic show they played last night at an all ages club called The Firehouse in North Manchester, Indiana. They said they had a great turnout, and the club did a fantastic job of setting up a nice dinner, accommodations, etc. They really just flat-out raved about the whole experience.

Has anyone else heard of the place? Sounds like it should be on everyone's radar if it's not already. I'd never heard of North Manchester, but app… Continue

The Music Business

I was thumbing through a copy of Mansion on the Hill by Fred Goodman and I came across an interesting quote from Peter Wolf, the singer from the J. Geils Band. He said that for the first generation of folk-influenced rock writers post-Dylan, it was unthinkable to be concerned in any way about the business of music. They were artistes, period. For that generation of artists, thinking about royalty rates, publishing ownership, or recoupable tour support would have been ludicrous. As a major indust… Continue

Hey John

I am the Tim that played with the Zero Boys for nearly a year. I never knew who hit me and what happened to them. I thought for sure, I had knocked out all your front teeth. Whew! I am glad it was only your chin. Mark Cutsinger took me to a neighbor hood convenient store, frightening the poor woman behind the counter. 2 young leather jacketed thugs, one with blood all over his face asking for band-aids. It was rather funny. I consider my scar a badge of honor.

To be more clear, I'm writing a piece for a scholarly anthology and, at least at this stage in the writing, I'm planning on quoting from your blog on "punk-approved wuss rock." I don't actually expect it would be anything you'd mind, and I presume it's a fair use thing, but since we're both on MFT, I thought it'd be nice to double-check...

J. P. Strohm: I'd like to ask you about quoting something you've written--would you mind adding me so I could send you a message about it? (I'll send a friend request.) If you'd rather talk about it on the "wall" here, that's fine, too.
