Hmm. Michael, most people just wrote lists, but you went the extra mile and invited us to disagree with you. Having reread the comment I left, I wouldn't describe it as my having "stomped" on anything nor do I believe it was a personal attack that w…

I had already been 21 a few months when the Bluebird held its 21st Anniversary Party. I was very excited to go because I was finally old enough to see Johnny Socko in their element as opposed to at all-ages venues and street festivals. I drank, had…

I was in a band with Pete and I don't remember any of these posters, which is a shame because they are awesome.

Pete's Posters

Hello to anyone who sees this post. Those of you not around Bloomington may have missed Pete Schreiner's awesome poster retrospective at Boxcar, which was definitely a highly nostalgic trip for me and I imagine would be for many of you as well. I didn't take photos of every poster, but I got quite a few and uploaded them to Flickr and thought you all might like to check them out here. I want to go back… Continue

All the power to me.



Holy crap! I was rummaging through an old box and just found this old United States Three sticker, backing still affixed. When the weather breaks, this is so going on my car.

Liza talks about music.

In general, I'm pretty ambivalent about the burgeoning indie/alt-country/mope/nerdfolk genre. I'm aware of the bands (Okkervil River, Fleet Foxes, Akron/Family, Blitzen Trapper, Andrew Bird, Sufjan Stevens, etc.) and like a few songs here and there, but I just can't get myself into their full albums. That said, In the past 48 hours, I have found myself impressed with two bands of said ilk that really intrigue me: Delta Spirit and Welcome Wagon. I saw… Continue

Help save Bitch magazine!

I'm not gonna lie, Bitch magazine (http://bitchmagazine.org) has infuriated me on several occasions, but it's also taught me about a lot of cool things and challenged my opinions. It has been a resource I've used to find quality books, films and music, and I wouldn't want it to go away.

thanks for the add here... if you're interested in the current music (all items here are archived from when I lived in Indiana years ago) feel free to check out my current band's myspace site:

Keep rockin' chi-town!

yes - i recognize you from myspace, right? anyway, thanks very much for your interest in my stuff - appreciated. i'm excited about music right now. its encouraging to see the new record getting so much attention here in LA.

if you have any thoughts/suggestions about where might be a good place for me to try to book a solo gig in chicago at the moment, i'd love to hear them. if not, no worries... just tossing that out there.

also, you have a big indie rock festival there every year now too, right?

i actually lived in chicago for a few years in the 90's - lots of things to love about that town. i have a lot of friends there. it would be nice to come do a show.

cheers and, you know, rock on.

It took me a minute to realize what you were talking about, but I was indeed Painted Jaguar.

How the hell did you remember that?

I'm instantly and completely floored by the all but forgotten memory of that production.

Wow. Good times.

I'm now trying to remember more names from my theatre days at IU.

Andy, yeah, I know what you're saying...the Lemonheads then instantly faded into multi-platinum obscurity. That's such a great perspective when most people have no idea the band even existed pre-1992. If anyone bothering to read this hasn't heard t…

Burd, I would never accuse you of being shy about speaking your mind. And I doubt anyone would have thought me anything but a raging snob from way back. And with the anti-Manilow snobbery of the post below, we continue to have plenty in common. FTR:…

John, it didn't seem like good natured to me when I went back and looked. It reeked of pretentious snobbery. Haughtiness. The funny thing is; I'd probably step up and say something if someone was doing it to you. Incidently, there are all sorts of t…
