Let’s talk egos. In promoting yourself as an artist, you have to have an ego, even if you don’t have one. You have to promote yourself as a good time. But take this to an extreme, and you’re arrogant. But if you start with the premise that you suck, you can take that three miles […]
This week on No MSG TV, the gang is juiced over Jessi’s show at the Fuze Box with her band “There’s No Such Thing as Ghosts.” Rob recounts his demonic side piece, Art gives the class a discussion of celebrity plastic surgery, and Liam confides in the group about his dirty IP.
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, […]

Ah, Riverfest! Where Xperience Monthly writer and citizen journalist Liam Sweeny met up with Theresa from T&J Soaps, and we came clean, with all the dirt on soapmaking.
Xperience Monthly writer and citizen journalist Liam Sweeny went to Aria’s Emporium armed with questions and had a high noon with the owner. Questions were answered and answers sparked questions and Sweeny left having purchased a neat pen. Aria’s Emporium – Q&A
Get Up Jack. Irish rock combines two very different feels in a beautiful way; the Celtic, Appalachian folk sound, with its roots in nature, and rock ‘n’ roll, with its roots in rebellion and overdrive. 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 […]
