Simple Brilliance

So I was doing my usual stalking of the Joshua Heller (someone I don't know but linked through Current.com and have found myself rather intrigued by) when I stumbled upon this gem and all-around amazing-ness that he hath shared.

I have no clue who she is except that she's obviously foreign, has an awesome baby voice, and that she's doing a show the 19th of February at… Continue

i'm doing okay.

Okay. I've just had my life turned upside down by an impending divorce, a loss of my apartment, loss of security, and looming financial destitution and disillusionment. And, shit, I've been fucked up over this for months and trying to piece of the marriage together for years. And now, I'm torned-apart, but I'm still somewhat sane. My self-esteem is cracked and my self-confidence is shaky. I'm frazzled, living from one counseling session to another. My soon-to-be ex-wife isn't living in now-my… Continue

ITs HUGE!!!! 10 tables, 20 chairs, and a shit ton of people who likes to play pool, and get drunk. I do not mind serving people, and I dont mind serving assholes, thats a… Continue

2008 Afro Punk Fest & Photos

Wow...There is a REAL movement going on with this Afro Punk thing! Glad to see this. I was checking out the blog photos from the 2008 Afro Punk Festival and that looks exciting! 7 days of Afro Punk music??? Wow. I wish they were this open down here in the southeast.

Back in the day I was a part of the first wave of black rock as a guitarist (circa 1989-2006), and it was thrilling to have been a part of that, when the southeast was a lot more open to black and multi-cultural bands… Continue
