I can honestly say that the Tonic Ball has changed my life. I watched enthralled the first year and have been part of the committee ever since then. Not only has it led to my writing about music, but to a perfect-for-me job at Second Helpings.

Wow, thank you! I love everything about this story. The first time I heard United States Three was in my parents barn in Boone County. I was living in Philadelphia at the time and came home for a Dow Jones and the Industrials reunion. It's great to…
Great review - I'm a big David England fan. And Justin, I love reading reviews from the perspective of younger people. When I talk about David, I always used the Elvis Costello comparison. I love having the Ryan Adams thought.
On that note, did you see that Otis is #5 on the Americana Music Radio chart this week? He's actually tied with Lucinda Williams for spins this week!
Woo Hoo!

The Monkey’s Tale
I completely forgot to write about this show in the last issue. I’d been feeling a bit disconnected from Broad Ripple lately, which is odd since I spend so much time there. But I realized that I unless I w… Continue

David Sedaris
June 10, 2008
Big Hat Books
I took the day off from work under the guise of helping Liz Houghton get ready for the David Sedaris reading at her bookstore. David Sedaris is one of the funniest people ever. He is laugh out loud hilarious. Just seeing someone read one of his books makes me giggle. I was hoping that being in the same room some of his wonderful humor would rub off on me.
I worried about what to wear to meet him and what I would say. After all the biggest fear/t… Continue

Indianapolis Indians day game
Wednesday, June 3, 2008
My flight back from Washington D.C. circled around the city and I had a birds-eye view of Victory Field, including the lit scoreboard. I took that as a sign that I should attend the day game instead of unpack or heaven forbid, go to work. I had a feeling that I’d find my dad and his buddies there and I did. As Dad and his group yelled “Nora,” I heard my name being shouted from another direction. Typically when I hear the n… Continue

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…
Ha! I knew it.
I'm not crazy about Michael Jackson or modern-day indie rock, but I will sing the SHIT out of some prime Manilow.
Burd, you nailed me.
I write the songs that make the whole wooooorld siiiing....
ahhhh Bullet Lavolta,their 1st 12" almost bordered on being the new Jerry`s Kids !!! Then they hit the UK with the Lemonheads & they both fell away.....those were the days lol
What gets me is people forget that punk/hardcore was NOT a private party…
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…
John I will indeed buy you a drink but you will first have to drive the van of screaming kids northward!
