I discovered music via my parents collection, as many kids do.

First up were Elvis and The Beatles. I played these records to death. "Lucy In
The Sky With Diamonds" was the most amazing thing my 7 year old mind could imagine- I couldn't understand how they made those amazing sound… Continue

First of all, Jeb asked me to start a blog of this type a couple days ago. Well, I already had one similar to it but no one, including myself, was posting.With all of the hullabaloo regarding New Orleans vs Indiana in sports; It was said by one Rachel Maddow that Indianapolis shouldn't try to compete with New Orleans musically after viewing music video's for both teams on her February 2nd show.

This town is more than Corn and Colts.

Indy is a surprising city. I moved here over 10 years ago (1998) with no real intentio… Continue

While I was an art student in Bloomington, I spent some of my time making mini-comix under the label, Fatalistic Funnies. Mini-comics were 8-page comic books (sometimes called 'newave' mini-comics) made from a single, double-sided 8.5x11 sheet, usually traded for other mini-comics in the mail (they fit perfectly in a regular envelope). The main place for finding out about them was in Factsheet 5, a zine which reviewed basically everything anyone sent it, and which was theref… Continue
