On being local and a music blogger
There’s an interesting article about music blogging and local music over at the Saint Louis Beacon, featuring interviews with Matt Jordan of You Ain’t No Picasso, Annie Zaleski of the Riverfront Times’ A to Z, and yours truly of this little site you’re reading right now. Aside from touching on the general theme of what [...]
Uncle Bob: Seger and the Uncanny
At a karaoke bar in Southern California a man in his early 20s took to the stage and the music started. I recognized it from the first note the way you recognize that certain distant relative in public. You know, the one that’s mostly drunk, entirely Republican, and wears camouflage to do his shopping.
