About Me
Bloomington is my hometown. With a couple years overseas, I lived there from 1976 until 1990. Since 1990, I have lived in Seattle, which actually means I have lived in Seattle longer than I did Bloomington. If you were interested in punk rock in Indiana, especially in Bloomington or Indy, between 1983 and 1988 or so, I probably made an effort to get to know you. I have been blogging since 2002 at mike.whybark.com, and maintain a raft of subsidiary sites, some of which may be of interest to MFT people.

I learned about the MFT project from Jeb just as they were launching it several years ago - I think Jeb found an archive of some Bloomington music I host at mp3.whybark.com and emailed me about the software I was using to present the archive.
What bands are you or have you been in?
BLOOMINGTON:
Modock, bass (1988-1989), modock.whybark.com, with Mike Hurtt, Matt Uhlmann, and Dave Cruse
The Vortex, bass (1990), with Mike Goss, Steve Bouton, and Tim Hommey. We only played one show.

SEATTLE
Fat Mona, bass, (1992-1993) - Tod Collins, Odin Bettinger, Jim Thompson
The Bareknuckle Boxers, bkb.whybark.com, mandolin, (1996-2000 +/-) - Odin Bettinger, Karel Trubac, Karl Kill, Chelle Wagner, Will Hollauer, Greg Brotherton, Lance Biggs, Barry Semple, Blake Carter, Sean Kearney, and more folks after I left.
What city are you from?
Bloomington and Seattle

Documenting some interactivity isses in NIng on MFT with Firefox 3.5.4 under Mac OS X 10.6.1

testing, couldn't post a comment on the scarcity thread - looks like a js widget is not loading. I'm testing to see if it's local to the post or if it affects me in all comment boxes.

UPDATE: I can't post in comment boxes, and I can't logout. Killing my browser, will be back to see if that fixes things.

Specs:

FF 3.5.4, Mac OS X 10.6.1, plenty of RAM (4gb), late-model MacBook Pro - the setup has been consistent for a fair while, I'd say the main variable in question is the version of Firefox.… Continue

The Hound

Pursuant to Dr. Zink's notice of Miriam Linna's nascent narrative of the Ohio mafia, I found her linking to one Houndblog. The Hound was a key WFMU DJ specializing in older regional sides but years ago he relocated toe NOLA (so I am told) where he owns a bar. Persons who actually live in NOLA and play the rock and/or the roll may have better 411 than I on such matters.

So, like, listen to the airchecks, read the… Continue

MX-80 back in the day, featuring the Tao and the MCPL

Bob Gulcher diligently sent along this remarkable blog entry from one HT who apparently signed MX-80 to Island Records back in the day:

Asking my boss David Betteridge if he'd "uh, like to go to to Bloomington?" I was, frankly, a bit surprised when he said "yes". So we found ourselves de-planing in Indianapolis and being driven for roughly an hour to a coffee bar/health-food joint (with ashram attached) in BloomingtonContinue

I remember printing some shirts for Steve in the 80's that had a picture of mickey mouse and donald duck and read, "There is no death in Disneyland, they export it!"
I'm still not sure what those shirts meant, but he was sure excited about them.

I read it the same way...I became confused by the positive prose that followed - I assumed what would follow was that the music totally sucked. Glad to hear this sort of thing is happening in B'ton.
