Wplace, the Rebellious Space – The Weird Side of the Internet – by Liam Sweeny. Do you call it graffiti or vandalism? Poetic mayhem or drug-infused hyper-scrawl? It really depends on the venue, right? And maybe permission. When the concert hall hires you to paint graffiti behind the stage, no matter the style, is that […]
Lithium, Chptr. 7 – Xperience Fiction – by Liam Sweeny. Mel shouldn’t have grabbed the paintings. They didn’t have room for them, and even if all he wanted to do was burn them, where could he even do that? Was he going to take Andy to the old party spot by the tracks and split […]
Mikaela Davis – An Xperience Interview – by Liam Sweeny. When you think of the harpsichord, you think of heaven, or something like it. You have notions of ethereal bliss. You recognize that it’s a hard instrument to play, but it’s not considered a hard-driving instrument like a six-string. But harpist Mikaela Davis, while continuing […]

Pat Gerasia – Xperience History – by Liam Sweeny. Originally published October 2021. Drums are very guttural to the human experience.

Throughout history, warring armies were at a disadvantage if they didn’t have a drummer. […]
Jackelope: Case Solved? – The Weird Side of the Internet – by Liam Sweeny. The Jackalope. The jackelope is the Great American cryptid. No, it’s not as regal as bigfoot, or mystical as the Jersey Devil. It’s the cryptid of every farmer, whose faces, or skulls, rather, find themselves on plaques in living rooms from […]
Ron Sexsmith – An Xperience Interview – by Liam Sweeny. As a musician, you can’t break out simply by your own pluck. It takes a team. And moreover, it takes just a little bit of luck. In the case of celebrated Canadian performer Ron Sexsmith, that luck came when his music reached some very famous […]
Tomatina Festival – The Weird Side of the Internet – by Liam Sweeny. Have you ever been in a food fight? Sadly, I never have. Or maybe not so sadly, since no food was wasted and the starving kids in China starved one fewer in my case. But I love the idea of a food […]
Lithium, Chptr. 6 – Xperience Fiction – by Liam Sweeny. Mel exploded a hotdog in the microwave. So did Andy. Mel’s was by accident, Andy’s, not so much, but Mel welcomed the culinary company. They managed to cook the remaining hot dogs and a can of beans in a plastic container they had to buy […]
Margo Macero – An Xperience Interview – by Liam Sweeny. In blues guitar, there are two things that can give me a thrill or a chill, or maybe both. One is a blistering, rapid-fire solo, and the other is the cry and wail of a single note. You don’t have to listen to Margo Macero […]
