It’s been ages, but I’ve been busy since 2014. Helped launch a radio station, which you can find here: WERA-LP and I have a weekly radio show. I hope to finally dust off this site and get it to where it needs to be. Lots to clean up, but in the meantime, why not listen […]
Due to a series of events, I haven’t had a chance to do the usual research in preparation for my time here in Austin. I haven’t taken the time to keep the blog current. But here I am in Austin, TX again for SXSW. I know I say it every year since I’ve been attending, […]
Amy and I interviewed The Bats in August 1993 just before their set at The Fastlane in Asbury Park, NJ. My photographic memory pulls up all sorts of images: when we got to the venue and The Bats were gracious enough to sit down with us, despite not knowing about the interview; walking to the […]
Greetings dear friends! While I’ve been neglecting my poor site for so long, I am planning a major overhaul and renewed enthusiasm for it. I’m in the process of recovering and catching up from my annual visit to Austin for SXSW. Not only must I recover myself, but I’ve a ton of things to capture […]

I’m still recovering from SXSW 2011, and will hopefully right up my review soon, but I’m off to NYC for the Big Star Third all star tribute/benefit concert. In the meantime, here’s a wee video I shot of Admiral Fallow-Four Bulbs:
I’ve wanted to post this for some time, but kept forgetting to do so. I think I’ve been avoiding it because I usually write up a little bit about each Top 10 record at the very least. I’ll have to add it later as I’m still not in a mindset to write it up! I […]
The Star Signs-Don’t Look Back now downloadable from Soundcloud in mp3 or wav: Mick Chorba, Jim Becker, Rob Martin, Lauree McArdle, Ron Bechamps & John Williams (the *band* name was Jim’s idea, to keep it TFC related) created for the Teenage Fanclub Message Board tribute 40 Million Seconds-The Long Road to TFC Featuring members of […]
Every few months I get the itch to get back on the air and spin some music on the old college radio station. And fortunately for me, I’ve great friends still keeping WLFR alive who allow me some air time. I never prepped for my radio show back in school, it was always “on the […]
Just over two weeks ago I was on my way to surgery at Sibley hospital. It was decided it would be best for my Mom & I to drive out to Ashburn to stay with my Aunt Linda during the time I’d be recovering from the surgery while my Mom was in Virginia. We drove […]
