Kulturkampf (North Park is Dead)

My X-Box 360 got a red ring of death last night.  I found a gray hair this morning while applying my Rogaine… and North Park is dead! It was a strange day.  I woke up hungover.  My brain felt like it was wrapped in gauze, working its way through a slow burn.  My head felt obtuse, my hands clumsy.  I grabbed my laundry and headed for the Laundromat.  Powerlines hang over the city like a web.  The clunk of my coins into the machine was... Read More

Your Music Sucks! (and so do you)

What the hell is going on with music these days? I don’t know if it’s because this is a generation of whiny little emo bitches or if the fact that live studio recordings are completely extinct but music today fucking sucks. Songs are just a collection of a thousand sound-bites, probably unable to be played as they are recorded by the very bands that release the songs.  Audio tracks are compressed, equalized, and squeezed into a limited range... Read More

Jam Box

I only have 2 words in my pizza-pipe right now; “JAM BOX!” I was bebop-ing around the other day and I happened across a remarkable piece of 1980′s technology, a jam box. It was sitting right there next to a dumpster, god knows why anyone would want to throw something so kickass away, it must have been some colossal mistake that I somehow benefitted from. Regardless, I scored a brand new jam box. I call it a jam box, some folks call... Read More

He Was One of Us

I slept for 12 hours last night…!? I think I must be on the verge of death.. who the fuck sleepts 12 hours!?!? The crazy part is that I could have slept all day but I had to make myself get up and out of bed… It was soooo comfy and nice. Ok.. enough strangeness! I already know what everyone is going to say. “Why the FUCK haven’t you been updating the site!?” Well I have no excuses, I basically suck. So instead of just... Read More

The Grande Ballroom – by Brad I.

Our dear friend and bassist extraordinaire Dave decided to show us west coast people how they do weddings in the original rock city by taking the party back to his hometown of Detroit. A swirl of different concepts rushed into my head at the prospect of this. Along with Detroit’s iconic Woodward Blvd, where late 60s big block monsters tore up the pavement back when gas was 30 cents a gallon, I also remembered that this was the home of the Grande... Read More

G.G. Allin

Born Jesus Christ Allin, G.G. Allin was to some the ultimate symbol of rock & roll rebellion, taking it to extremes that no one else was dangerous enough to explore. To others he was a lunatic whose attempts to shock and disgust were too ham-fisted to be taken seriously. Wherever the truth lay, there can be no doubt that Allin was the most spectacular degenerate in rock & roll history. Just to give GG the best possible representation I’m... Read More

Musical Autobiography

Making movement toward home. I get mixed up sometimes and call this place home. I gotta stop coming here so my brain doesn’t get confused. In celebration of my escape from this place I wanted to put together a song list that would embody my plight over here for the past couple years. This is tough because its all other peoples’ poetry, but I wanted something that carried with it my thoughts and experiences. Not a small challenge, and I... Read More
