I live sweat...: "...we fall woefully short in... →
There’s a blog called I Live Sweat that has been posting a compelling essay series on sexism in punk music.  I decided to submit my own essay, and it was just published yesterday.  If you have a few minutes, give it a read.  Feel free to e-mail me to continue the discussion. Thanks to Andy at I Live Sweat for getting this series going. I also want to give a special thanks to those friends...

Pay The Machine.
I was pulling out of the parking garage at the Hyatt in Rochester, NY.  After a month of staying in the sketchiest motels on the company’s dime, decadence prevailed at the Hyatt.  But unlike the Red Roof’s and Super 8’s of the world, coffee isn’t free at the Hyatt.  Neither is the parking.  $4.00 for an overnight spot in the parking garage.  That was fine, but when I...

Have you noticed the new website?  I hope so.  I’m really, really, excited about it.  There’s still a couple kinks to work out, but you should browse around and check it out.  I owe it all to Iris at Start Here Designs for putting it all together for me.  Thanks, Iris! I’m also getting really, really excited for these shows coming up.  All the details are in the last news item...

I bought an accordion.  I am well aware that this purchase is the musician’s version of the Nordic Track.  This will not languish in the corner of the garage, my friends, oh no.  The day after I bought it, I bent my finger back very, very far against a basketball.  Now I cannot play my accordion.  I guess that’s appropriate, since I don’t know how to play it.  What I’m...

At this moment, I am looking at a big stack of money.  It’s more cash than I’ve seen on my desk in a long time, and none of it’s mine. Last week, I played a benefit show for the Jake Stults Foundation.  It was an average turnout for an Attica! Attica! show in Portland, and the requested donation at the door was $3-5.  Perhaps you can understand, then, why I was astounded that the...

I lost a friend this weekend.  He started the first band I was ever in.  He was my oldest friend in Portland.  The last time I talked to him, he invited me to sing for his new band.  Now he’s gone.  There’s a lot that I feel, but not much left to say. Except this: Here’s to Jake.  The most excited storyteller, the most animated bass player, the most unpredictable van driver, and...

Despite my highly enjoyable first visit to the basement of the Breakfast and Dessert House in Philadelphia, I still did not expect this second show there to be as fantastic as it was.  The ambiance of the basement is a perfect mix of dinginess and coziness, full of friends past, present, and future.  Nick and company put together a good mix of acoustic music, astoundingly good considering they...

Okay, the Great Facebook Experiment of Oh-10 seems to be working.  I even learned about RSS feeds yesterday.  I don’t mean to fashion myself as a complete nincompoop when it comes to Internet stuff, it’s just that I only care about the Internet when it can give me things I need.  Like pants.  I need new pants.  Give me pants, Internet. You really can’t even blink without the...

I just made a Facebook page for Attica! Attica! I don’t understand how it works.  The Internet is making me feel like Grandpa.  The Grandpa who can’t program the clock on the VCR.  Er…I meant Tivo.  I’m not going to beg for you to become my Facebook friend or whatever, but it would be nice if I could get more fans than the Attica! Attica! page that someone else made and...
