The Charlestons, Tripping Linda, CFD, Levi, Love and Squalor @ The Desert Rose, Lancaster, Ohio (December 27th, 2003)

Searching around the local bands’ websites in my spare time during the last few weeks of college, I found various hints of a big show happening the 27th at the one sleazy bar at the edge of town. The bar’s main claim to fame were their teen nights, smoke-filled affairs that brought together 10-12 year olds trying to pretend they were 16 and 45 year old lechers who think they…

Tight Pants #10

While I have been a fan of the other Tight Pants zine (being The World Would Be A Better Place If Everyone Wore Tight Pants), I hadn’t gotten a chance to go and read Tight Pants until I saw a copy for sale at Boxcar Books. After picking it up, it was definitely worth my buck. While all of the fonts that Maddy uses are just windows system-type of fonts,…

The news of the show was pretty well disseminated, with ample amounts of flyers being printed out and J.J. (The Hybrid) and Zach (The Good Life) coming on my radio show the Thursday…

Thoughtworm #10

A diary-like zine, with a style of writing that is interesting to say the least. Information is given without much in the way of rhetorical flourishes, but there just seems to be a feeling of detachment from the events of Sean s life, a feeling which never truly goes away. This is not to say that it is hard to get into the zine, but that there is a nagging…

GBA, The Hybrid, The Vroloks – November 21st, 2003 @ Greencastle Indiana (JMcQ)

After a great amount of putzing around on my part, Gabe and Ben from The Vroloks were able to get together a show with another student organization. Learning about it a few days before it was supposed to happen, we ended up plastering it all over my show. The interesting thing about my radio show the night before the concert was the fast that at one point, we had 14…
