Girl In A Coma — Exits & All The Rest. Out now. I’ve broadened my horizons this year; sometimes on purpose (mostly thanks to Pam) and sometimes accidentally (Doughty’s opener this tour is avant-garde jazz dub step trio Moon Hooch, who he found playing in a subway tunnel in NYC). But sometimes you want your…
things they don’t teach you in art school
Or maybe they do; I don’t know, I didn’t go to art school. But it surprised me today, when I stopped and thought about the most important thing I’ve learned building a photo business from the ground. The most important thing I’ve learned over the last four years is how important it is to say…

mike doughty and his band fantastic @ cat’s cradle
