giveaway: 33 1/3’s ‘fear of music’ by jonathan lethem
For reasons that don’t need exploring at this junction, I have ended up with two, TWO!, copies of the latest release from the 33 1/3 series, Jonathan Lethem’s book on Talking Heads’ Fear Of Music. I do not need two copies of this book, because I only need to read and write about one, so…
what did you expect? an archers of loaf concert documentary
it’s always the east coast, i’m always the asshole “Freezing Point” is not necessarily my favorite Archers of Loaf song, but for some reason, it is my favorite song on last year’s gorgeous re-release of Icky Mettle, which would have been my #1 record of 2011 if it hadn’t been a re-release (I make them…

This is the first of what will be several posts about Death To False Hope Fest II this week; some just photos, and hopefully if I manage to get it all transcribed, one full of short interviews with bands, videographers, wives, and punk fans. But this one, this one is just about my Saturday, and…
promo photos: young///savage [austin, tx]
I did a set of impromptu interviews with musicians and others at Death To False Hope Fest II yesterday, which led to an impromptu photo shoot with Young///Savage from Austin, TX. We found the ground littered with playing cards, a sure sign that Magic Michael Casey had been around the night before, and sure enough,…
