My emo punk stage, winter 1989/1990, Rockford 2016 to begin our next project: a collection of his lyrics! Lastly, Dave Dictor, whose photo you can see on that front cover, and I have re-started our work on his memoir, which is almost done! And, hear the drum roll … Gary Floyd is visiting in Jan.

I have also become a contributor to Razorcake, the well-respected not-for-profit DIY fanzine based out of Los Angeles, who will be publishing my interview with punk academic Daniel Makagon, author of a new book on house parties and DIY spaces, in the Spring. I have attached it here, but of course you should visit Razorcake and contribute to their indie media struggle as well by visiting here.

I am super-stoked the book still has traction months after its release. many thanks to Jimmy Alvarado at Razorcake for publishing a keen, positive, and thoughtful review of my book Mavericks of Sound.

Yesterday, I finished a new photo book entitled An Other America, which has been sent to the printer. 2016!
