Uh-oh
I got BoingBoing-ed. As Unapologetic said, “Great. We finally get on Boing Boing right when we stop talking about the storm to talk about lunch.” FYI, if you’re coming here from BoingBoing, most of us are not on the ground there, we evac-ed to safety. The best advice I can give you on getting real [...]
Gulf Sails

Back when blogging was REALLY slow and needed a stamp
For the second time in recent memory, I’ve run across a blog post about a punk zine I published back in college with my friend Rob Stewart. Oddly enough I had just run across what I believe is my last remaining copy of the thing the other day in a mixed box of old comics. [...]

Humid City, and the truth behind straight edge
Loki wants everybody to know that Humid City will be back soon. To pass the time, please enjoy the rhythmic stylings of Mike “Dancing Around the World” Long, who I think gets Minor Threat better than anybody.
Ashley Morris: The Liner Notes of the Album of the Soundtrack of the Movie
Now, the making of a good compilation tape is a very subtle art. Many do’s and don’ts. First of all you’re using someone else’s poetry to express how you feel. This is a delicate thing. — Rob, High Fidelity If I was an artist like Greg Peters, or a photographer like dsb or Galfreaka, or [...]
