Acoustics. “Did you hear that band last night?” He said. “Barely. Just noise. Is that a noise rock band?” “No, that’s just a straight rock band. It’s the place; it’s a dump. They’re going to be playing at the new place that just opened up on State. I’m sure the acoustics are better there.” “They […]
Hammer and Nail. Americana. When you hear the word, it almost sounds catch-all. I think of Johnny Cash singing “I’ve Been Everywhere.” There’s a million facets to what make this country cherished and unique, but some things we look at, or into like the Grand Canyon, and we say “Yup, that’s America.” Hammer and Nail […]
Marijuana – Illegal Friend, Legal Stranger It was 2007. I was writing my second book and was on my maybe fourth joint, pardon if I switched the order of the two. So I’m in a market in Colombia with my side character and his little brother, and shots rain hails of gunfire and the kid, […]

I like to identify and classify music, maybe you noticed, but only because when I hear a great thing, I […]
Deveria interview. We lean over the opened hoods of muscle cars, tossing numbers in the air like 426 and 3.0 liter, and we marvel at how that combination of numbers and constants and forces can combine and take a quarter mile in fourteen seconds. Heavy metal is no different, except the numbers are 4/4 and […]
This week, we have passionated discussions about Bronies, Furries, Rob’s heart attack, and TSA Romance.
Vampires. Did you know the first local vampire came out of his grave at Albany Rural Cemetery in June of 1887? No? Prove me wrong, go ahead. But in seriousness, vampires have clung not only to our necks, but our hearts as well. Christopher Gaunt and Joe Gietl are in the process of raising the […]
