Arrived in B-ton the fall of 1985 to attend IU. Got into the music scene right away. Started TBW! (with others) in Spring of 1986. Worked at Karma Records, then the IMU, as well as various food gigs... Uptown, etc. Hung out with the WQAX/wfhb folks some, but never was a dj. Also spent much time at the NoBar in Muncie. I think I blended into the overall scene a bit, so was not high profile. I was usually there, however. Ran out of money and patience for school in the mid-'90s and moved, with TBW! bandmates, to Louisville, KY. It's pretty cool here and some people even like noise! I am currently a hair sylist at a mellow/crazy/punk/industrial place in L-ville, Kaleidoscope Salon.

Heyo Matt - I added the 1987 Spud Zero Waffles gig to my playlist (& The N.I.D.S.). It ends with a pleasing audience free-for-all. If I knew how to embed the link to the audio directly here, I'd do it.
I'd LOVE to have a disk of your music. All the different stuff, too, would be great. Just let me know if you can make one up for me and I'll get you my mailing address.
There are a couple more Moe/w songs I'll put on too, just need to convert them from wma to mp3. In one of them, you tell us about your Aunt Mary reading you Aesop
Hey John!
Saw Elvis most recently May 16, 2008, with the Police in Orlando. In the $200+ ticket section people were so rude. I was standing thu Elvis, and people were bitching. They wanted to see the Police.
Also caught him a few times at House of...
I also transferred the one practice recording I have of Bloodcouch recently. It's a bit strange because the battery in the PZM mic we were using to record it was dying during the recording. Lon Paul would probably have been in possession of the vi...

I'm not very comfortable writing about my own history on this site, it feels a little narcassitic but it is what the site is all about really. Documenting small musical histories...
