Bringin' It All Back Home


Isn't she lovely? Cabinet aside, which was a gift, the rig is all mine. And every last bit was earned via writing.

I'm ink-stained again, friends.

I know it doesn't look like it, but this is supposed to be me hard at work.
Many of you know this already, if you're a Facebook friend or Twitter follower. But my rock journalist side has been fully reactivated. I'm back with the paper that, alongside Alternative Press, was my home in the '90s, The Austin Chronicle. I've been pumping out a hellacious amount of work there over the last month, which I'll link you to if you haven't seen it:

"Do I know this guy?" Chief True Believer Alejandro Escovedo and I, Feb. 2013 (pic: Todd Wolfson)

One Big Guitar - a big feature on the return of beloved Austin rock 'n' roll institution the True Believers.

"Do I know this guy?" Iggy And The Stooges guitar hero James Williamson visits after their SXSW set. (pic: Pokechoppums)
Blog on Iggy And The Stooges' return to SXSW, plus my review of their showcase, which I rate as one of the greatest gigs I've seen, and I feel my review is some of the best writing I've done.

Interviews with The Specials and Kid Congo Powers.

Reviews of showcases by The EnemyBilly Joe Shaver and Alejandro Escovedo

In addition, my work at Rock 'n' Roll Dating continues apace, with this recent chat with the great Mike Watt


Be prepared for tons more writing, radio, and rockin' in the coming months. Yes, you read correctly: Rockin'. The appearance of that rig above means I shall soon be reforming The Hormones with a new lineup, and be back to rockin' a punk rock pisshole near you. Stay tuned.

"Do I know this chord?" Okay, I know - the joke's getting old now....  (pic: Michael Adams)
Meantime, check out this interview Chuck at Apathy Trend did with me! Damn, if that boy knows how to ask a great question. doesn't he?

Oh, yeah. And Happy Easter....
